Themed Girls Getaways

Now here's a novel idea for that next trip with gal pals: themed girls getaways. The upshot is to get creative when getting together with friends and make the trip memorable and a hoot to boot! Read the full list via the link, but here are the highlights. Love them all.

1. TV show themes: Think Charley's Angels (mystery dinners, etc.) or "split into tribes and pull a Survivor." Perhaps Saturday Night Live skits and performances instead of charades?
2. History: Think about decades (20s flapper, 60s hippie, 70s disco, 80s valley girl) or go way, way back in time to the Renaissance or ancient Egypt with room for creative costumes.
3. It's a small world: Budgets can be tight, so rather than blowing your whole savings on one trip, rent a vacation home and pick a country or region and cook meals from Italy, France, Mexico, Thailand. You can also choose the appropriate music and activities to match the culture.
4. Out of this world: Space is vast, and so are the possibilities with this theme from Star Trek to superheros!
5. Classics: Put a new twist on classic themes such as carnivals (games?), westerns/cowgirls (pie-throwing contest?), or pirates (treasure hunt?).

Any other great ideas out there?

TripHub is a great resource for planning themed girls getaways.

I bought a book by Casey Wohl that is the first in a series of Girl's Getaway Guides. On her website you can sign up for the monthly newsletter. She has lots of cool tips for travel, trends, etc. The Girls Getaway Guide to Orlando was a PERFECT guide for my girlfriends and I. We didn't want to visit the theme parks and popular Orlando tourist traps , so this guide was so helpful! The book actually gives detailed information on where to go...specifically when you are out with your girlfriends. Casey Wohl's website is: www.girlsgetawayguide.net.
