Friend Therapy: Vacationing with your BFF

 


What is friend therapy? If you have to ask, YOU NEED A VACATION!   

Gazebo at duskFriend trips are often laid back, low pressure, no-stress trips.  We all love our families, but as mom or dad, we find our selves having to be boss, driver, financier, decision maker and ringleader of a 3 ring circus.  Days of working, evening of running to sports and recitals followed by meal prep, homework, chores..it adds up.  Sometimes you just need to spend a few days away to recharge.

Pick your bestie, your sister or brother, your lunch buddy from work, and get away.   Explore a new town that's halfway between where you each live, take a cruise, hit Vegas and enjoy some night life, visit a new country, relax at the beach.  

Schedule a call with your travel agent to talk about your time and budget - if you're feeling really adventuresome, let your travel agent surprise you.

Girls Weekend at Disney World

Image
There are people out there who firmly believe that Disney World is just for kids. I say to them, Walt was a child at heart his whole life, and his Disney parks keep that alive....they are for all dreamers, all kids at heart.  So ladies,  get your girls together.  Couples, drop the kids and pets  off at the parents, Friends, get thee to Disney!! I spent St. Patrick's weekend on a sisters/cousins get away and it was great! Early birds get the.....no, not worms, that's grotesque. Get the groceries and drinks!! That's right, stock your room with snacks, light meals (yogurt, fruit, bagels), water, and some wine for the gang.  Experience your Resort We explored Disney's Art of Animation. We had a Cars Suite for the weekend. So fun! The details totally took me back to Arizona's Route 66, especially Seligman AZ.        The rooms were a good size. We had plenty of space to socialize, sleep, prep, all the things 4 ad...

It's the posh life for me

When we booked the Yacht Club level on the MSC Meraviglia, my mind wandered back to the movie ChittyChitty Bang Bang. Remember the scene where the bumbling spies capture the wrong Mr. Potts? Yeah, I sang that song in my head a lot. The Yacht Club is considered a cruise within a cruise.  Before we even exited the parking area, we were invited to leave our luggage at a Yacht Club luggage drop off.  It was very convenient and simple.  Having attached our luggage tags before leaving the house made it even faster! We were escorted through security and to a private wait area with champagne, juice and snacks. Before we could even finish our champagne,  our butler arrived to ecort us onto the ship and to the Top Sail lounge.    Fresh drinks and a great view of lower Manhattan welcomed us. Our butler, Faisol, had already taken our personal item to our room. We followed after finishing our drinks.    Throughout our stay...

MSC Meraviglia

Image
My spouse and I recently went on a week long cruise out of Brooklyn NY on the MSC Meraviglia. We had a great time on the cruise and can't wait to do another.  The basics: • December 2 to 9 • Yacht Club balcony cabin ▪︎ Ports: Port Canaveral, Ocean Cay, Nassau Bahamas I am going to share aspects in a few different posts to help keep the posts shorter. Definitely they will be picture heavy! Sailing out of Brooklyn was surprisingly easy. Just as easy as sailing out of Manhattan. We drove from Pennsylvania and parked right at the Port. It cost $340 for the week which is comparable to what we would pay in Manhattan,  and less than what we would have paid for car service or for flights to Florida. The view of lower Manhattan was great and we enjoyed picking out landmarks and favorite haunts from my college days at Pace University.   The view of the Statue of Liberty and sailing under the Verrazano Bridge were wonderful from our balcony! ...
