Creating HERstoric Memories w/ Friends: 2021 Girls Trips & Tips
TRAVEL & DESTINATION CORNER
By Pamela Gurley
If you were a frequent traveler before COVID, I can imagine you are feeling some kind of way at the interruption of being able to travel the world (or nationally) like you used to. Yes, I get it, “airplane life” is a real thing and you know what else is…girl’s trips. There is nothing great than getting together with your girls, letting your hair down, and having a good time. It is just now it seems to be a little tricky.
While it may seem nearly difficult to travel with your girls during COVID, there are ways to have the ultimate girls trips during what feels like uncertain times and still be safe. Here are a few tips when planning and traveling for girls trips that will create many HERstoric memories with your gal pals:
· Choose locations that offer secluded opportunities. These locations can be private beach houses, log cabin, wineries, bed and breakfasts, or homes with pools.
· When dining out, choose places that require reservations or private dining. These places often have seating times to ensure they do not have an overabundance of patrons. You can also call and ask what their COVID policies are in advance (even if there is outside seating).
· Travel and choose to stay in sometimes instead of going out while on vacation or choose activities that are private. Have sip and paints, wine tastings, spa days, cooking lessons, or you can rent a boat, reserve an escape room adventure, or do hiking trails.
There are so many ways to create HERstoric memories safely with friends in a manner that will make everyone comfortable. Remember, this is temporary; however, the memories you create are forever.
