'Girls' Getaways' Go Best with Luxury Vacation Rentals
February 9, 2007. Yesterday, we talked about the 'mancation.' Well, if the guys get their own trip, you can be sure the women get a 'girls getaway.'
This is your chance to let your husband take care of the kids for once. Is that a scary thought? Don't worry, says Rhonda Hostetler, creator of the Girls Getaway website. Guys learn to manage.
This is also your chance to vent your frustrations to someone who will actually listen (unlike your husband). As the Million Dollar Mama put it,
"You don't have time for all the self-help and how-to books that are piling up on your nightstand. Instead of spending all those hours pouring over books, go away with the girls for great conversations."
We recommend renting a luxury vacation rental for the best value and most space. Try these great destinations:
California Wine Country – Welcome to the land of wine tours, spas and cute little shopping towns. Napa and Sonoma are also home to some of the country's best yoga studios, where you can find a new, healthy hobby.
New York City – Shopping doesn't get any better than midtown Manhattan! Schedule a makeover at one of the city's famous salons, then head out for a night on the town. You could never get your man to go to the theater, but the girls might be up for Broadway.
Asheville – Some call it the Paris of the South, others the Boulder of the East. This little city has a beautiful downtown filled with boutiques, craft shops and delicious restaurants of all types. It's also nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, one of the country's great outdoors playgrounds. The local massage therapists will pay house calls to your mountain cabin.
