As we get older, <\/span>vacations have a way of being reserved for family only. And while no one can complain about a romantic getaway with your partner or a fun family trip, a jaunt with the girls has a way of bringing you back decades (to<\/g> lazy days spent in college dorms or to summer high school road trips). It can also build a foundation for a whole slew of brand new memories.<\/span><\/p>\n

But a carefree trip also involves a little bit of careful planning. Read on for how to put together the perfect ladies-only escape \u2014 no matter where you\u2019re going or who you\u2019re bringing along for the ride.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Pick the Perfect Destination<\/h4>\n

Choosing a place to go is only<\/span> part <\/span><\/i>of the planning process. It\u2019s important to dig a little deeper to make sure your destination du jour delivers on what you\u2019re expecting out of it. <\/span><\/p>\n

For example, want to see the Northern Lights? Plan your trip to Reykjavik<\/a> between September and April when that extra darkness thanks to long nights will help you cross it off your bucket list.<\/span><\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re looking for a Hawaiian beach vaca? Hit Maui<\/a> between April and October for the best chance of sunny beach weather during your stay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pre-trip research can help you pinpoint the best time to go where and what to expect in your destination once you arrive.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Consider People\u2019s Personalities<\/b><\/h4>\n

When we travel, our personalities don\u2019t change that much \u2014 so while <\/span>everyone <\/span>can likely benefit from<\/span> a<\/span> beach day, it\u2019s important to take into consideration what everyone wants out of a trip. For example: Do you all like swimming? Are you feeling more of a spa vibe? Does the group prefer wine or beer? <\/span><\/p>\n

These are important questions that can help you both pick a destination and draft an itinerary. Remember, it\u2019s okay to split up, too! A destination like Scottsdale<\/a> <\/span>provides both award-winning spas and rewarding hikes all within miles of one another.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Keep Your Wallet Happy<\/b><\/h4>\n

Vacations always come with a price tag, but with the right planning, costs don\u2019t have to be through the roof. <\/span>Pick out one or two activities you want to splurge on as a group (a nice dinner out or professional photographs) then take advantage of free activities \u2014 a long walk through a national park, a free local concert, or a guided run led by a hotel staff member. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Seek Out Hidden Gems<\/b><\/h4>\n

Famous landmarks and must-see monuments have their place in every itinerary. But polling your Instagram friends for personal recommendations, grabbing the local paper once you arrive, or asking a local barista for their favourite spots can also lead you to under-the-radar, less-touristy spots \u2014 antique shops or fairs\/events that might be going on while you\u2019re in town. These have a way of making for the best memories (and unexpected photo ops, too!).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
