The Complete Idiot's Guide to Girlfriend Getaways: A Travel Book for Girls Who Just Want to Have Fun


So, you know that girlfriend getaway you've talked about for years but never had the time or energy to plan? Well, have I got news for you. This spring, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Girlfriend Getaways (Alpha Books, 2009) finally hit the book shelves and the even better news is that it's not for idiots. The book is for super busy like you and me who are lucky if we get out of the door every day with matching shoes (and brushed teeth but then again, that could be my own personal problem ... TMI).

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Girlfriend Getaways is a travel book for women hankering for a getaway laced with some good ol' fashioned girl time. The underlying message of the book is to "Just go!" This country is peppered with tons of wonderful places for a memorable and exhilarating getaway but the fact is that we often don't take the time we need. A girlfriends getaway is a way to unwind, reconnect and just be yourself.

That said, the book features more than 70 destinations throughout the United States and Canada including where to stay, where to eat and what to do. Each chapter has a theme -- shopping, adventure trips, volunteer vacations, cultural excursions and of course, one seriously fat chapter on spas -- so that you can skip right to the type of destination you want and get to the business of planning your getaway.

Because of my own beauty product addiction, you'll also find a guide to pre-trip beauty and my list of must-haves for keeping fresh and pretty on the go.

The book is also sprinkled with sage "chick wit" advice from other female travelers.
