I am so pleased to tell the story of my "Girlfriends", we all meant in over 50 years ago when our parents purchased new homes in a housing tract in the San Fernando Valley. We started first grade together, and have remained best friends for the rest of time. We've all moved about, gotten married, divorced, raised children, buried husbands, been there for surgeries (cancer scares) and experienced all of life's ups and downs together. At the 50 year anniversary of our friendship we decided that we needed to set aside a couple of days each year to get together, but it is easier said than done.
When we get together, we like to do just about everything. Some of like to gamble, another likes to sit by the pool and read, some like beer some like wine... all of us like to be pampered and treated now. We are all so different but I think that's what's made us appreciate each other over the years. So basically our favorite thing to do together is just spend time with each other.
June 12, 2012 at 10:18 am
Day at the spa, followed by wine and fabulous food.

Relax at a coffee shop and catch up on family and friends!
June 12, 2012 at 01:37 am
My favorite thing to do with my gal pals is to go flea market shopping, or to consignment stores and vintage shops. It's more about going and talking about all the crazy stuff we see and getting our imaginations going than actually buying (but of course we do often buy things!). This works up an appetite...so we have to hunt down a new, yet-unexplored culinary treat if we can find one after our treasure hunting is done. It creates a space where we can catch up and have a laugh, and the men never want to come along!
June 12, 2012 at 12:34 am
Talking and dinner
June 11, 2012 at 11:08 pm
talking and drinking wine
June 11, 2012 at 11:01 pm
About 13 years ago, I started playing bridge. I was taught how to play the game along with some other girls I still play with today. Our trips to the beach always include shopping, sun bathing on the beach, great martinis, awesome food, playing bridge until the wee hours and most of all laughter and making memories. That is what life is all about!
June 11, 2012 at 10:35 pm
Wine and dine along with sharing beauty tips, diets , recipes, and bragging on our fabulous kiddos!!!
June 11, 2012 at 10:27 pm
I love going to the movies and watching "chick flicks" with my girlfriends, when we can find the time to get together. They love it too, as their husbands usually refuse to go with them or if they do, are generally uninterested and bored. We girls will giggle through the movie like teenagers. It would be so much fun to get together with them and re-live some of those priceless moments when we were in high school and college. Life sometimes doesn't allow you the time to have many more of those precious moments.
June 11, 2012 at 09:46 pm
Paddleboarding
June 11, 2012 at 08:50 pm

I love when I go away with all of my sisters for a girls weekend!! It is such a special time to re-connect, spend quality time with each other and unwind!!! Life is so busy, we have not gone away for more than two years, so we are definitely overdue for some R&R together!!!

We keep our fingers crossed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 11, 2012 at 06:53 pm

GDO which stands for Girls Day Out. Friends from high school meet monthly for GDO. We take turns on selecting where we will meet and what activity we will partake each month. FB initially got us together and our monthly reunions have taken us all over our community but it would be awesome to participate in girlfriend getaway.
June 11, 2012 at 04:28 pm
Love to sit outside on one of our decks and drink some mixed drinks and listen to some great music! Of course, this is always after we run a 5k for one of our favorite charities. You have to work a little to play hard!
June 11, 2012 at 04:23 pm
I belong to a group of five fabulous women. We meet once a month to gab, create, and treat ourselves to something new and different. That is my favorite thing-just spending time with my girlfriends, trying new things, and laughing at ourselves.
June 11, 2012 at 03:18 pm
My favorite thing to do with my girlfriends to to be active (run a 5k, play a sport) and then go somewhere to chat about the night over a few cocktails. Catching up and laughing with my girlfriends always improves my day and makes me appreciate the good friends I have in my life.

June 11, 2012 at 02:30 pm
Since my best girlfriends do not live in my current state, we often share coffee or juice and talk on our cell phones--sometimes we will text at 3am and the other will be up--then we have coffee early~
It would be great to meet and share a spa together:)
June 11, 2012 at 02:29 pm

June 11, 2012 at 02:08 pm
I guess talking would be my favorite activity with my friends....whether is by while we're crafting, on the way to the spa or just hanging out!
June 11, 2012 at 02:07 pm
Having a BBQ and swimming and kids running around and just laughing and having a good time.

June 09, 2012 at 08:12 pm
Going to a spa for the weekend, eating healthy, exercising, and taking educational classes is a great way to be together as friends. The time is well spent without distractions like cell phones, family or work. We get to do it all in one weekend.
June 09, 2012 at 07:58 pm
Every week since my oldest child (now off to college) started nursery school, a group of friends has met for coffee once a week after all the children were dropped off at school. Seventeen years later, the tradition continues. To be sure, some women have left, some come back for an occasionional visit. For me, this group has been one of my biggest sources of continuity, the entry on my calendar that I consider inviolate and look forward to week in and week out.
The women in this group, who have traveled the same road of children and schools, marriage and volunteering, job searches and broken friendships, are a community. We provide advice and support to each other, offer a network of contacts, share our joys and offer comfort when there is heartbreak. We visit in the hospital, prepare meals for each other, and pick up little thimgs that we think someone else will like (without expecting to be paid). Most important, we meet as friends every week for coffee.
June 09, 2012 at 05:48 pm
My girlfriends and I love food. We get together may times just for food.
June 09, 2012 at 10:56 am
We love to hit up a restaurant for dinner. Best yet is when that restaurant has live entertainment so we can dance the night away!!!

June 07, 2012 at 11:58 pm
Actually the three friends, would be my three SISTERS. The four of us don't get to see one another much because one of my sisters lives out of state. And with work and families well meaning intentions don't always pan out. But, a GETAWAY is the Perfect excuse to get away together.
June 07, 2012 at 11:52 pm
One of our 'fab' foursome has moved away. Our favorite times are those when all four of us get together and share our deepest thoughts, worries, hopes, and dreams. It doesn't really matter where--it could be a walk on the beach, a ride to a nearby city, or a nice dinner.
June 07, 2012 at 09:39 pm
SHOPPING AND DINING.....AND WINE
June 07, 2012 at 09:30 pm
I love to hang out with them having cocktails and conversation. Just relaxing, we all have high stress 50+ hour a week jobs so it's great when we can get together and chill.
June 07, 2012 at 06:34 pm
I love getting together with my equestrian friends and go to the race track for an early breakfast and watch them breeze the horses. We hit the tack shops for the latest must haves. "Bling for the ring". If we still have enough energy we tack up and ride. If not we'll chat about the day and plan our next ride and/or "horsey girls day out"
June 07, 2012 at 05:17 pm
We are way Faboverfifty and since we live in wine country, we love strolling through the vineyards on a warm sunny day. Have a glass of wine and a light lunch bistro style, and leave all our stresses behind for a few precious hours.
June 07, 2012 at 04:36 pm
We like to go dancing and wine tasting.
June 07, 2012 at 03:53 pm
My favorite thing to do with my best gal pals is dishing some juicy chatter over a delicious glass of vino. Simple as that. Nothing more exciting than girls sharing, caring and pairing (wine that is ;)
June 07, 2012 at 03:23 pm
Love chatting over a glass wine and planning our next party!
June 07, 2012 at 03:12 pm
My favorite activity to do with my girlfriends is to take a beach trip. We enjoy just spending time together, enjoying cold beverages and eating at our favorite restaurants.
June 07, 2012 at 03:00 pm
My favorite girlfriend activity is eating! My friends are all in love with good food, and it makes for some wonderfully fun shared lunches and dinners.
June 07, 2012 at 02:53 pm
I love meeting friends for a chat over coffee.
June 07, 2012 at 01:47 pm
Just hang out and relax-doesn't happen often enough...
June 07, 2012 at 01:25 pm
Sounds like a wonderful way to reconnect with girlfriends.
June 07, 2012 at 10:55 am
A girlfriend weekend would be a great way to spend time with friends I haven't seen in a few years.
June 07, 2012 at 09:43 am

June 07, 2012 at 06:28 am
I love shopping for clothing in boutique shops.
June 07, 2012 at 03:30 am
I love dining out with my girlfriends, and sometimes we even take in a movie or sporting event!
June 07, 2012 at 01:46 am
My favorite thing to do with my girlfriends is getting together and going for a "spa day" then going out to lunch, shopping, dinner and finishing the night off with a glass of wine and having great conversation, then retiring to our hotel and wake up and do the same thing over again!!!!. Doesn't that sound like the utmost fun? I know - but the "girls" and I have never been able to have this "glorious perfect" week-end together - what a dream come true to be able to win this luxurious "once in a lifetime" experience. Thank you for the opportunity. Joni and friends.
June 07, 2012 at 01:35 am
My favorite activity to do with my girlfriend is laughing and remembering all the good memories we had working together and enjoying Life!
June 07, 2012 at 12:45 am
I like to invite friends over for a simple meal and maybe some wine tasting, conversation in my home
June 06, 2012 at 11:57 pm
My favorite activity with the girls is to go to the spa and have mani's pedi's and massages and then out to din din and shopping!
June 06, 2012 at 11:16 pm
I love to spend time with my friends having Dinner, Drinks and then Dancing.
June 06, 2012 at 11:15 pm
Learning how to dance! It makes us laugh, move, celebrate, and feel like the kids we still are inside. It is an addiction that we can afford to develop. And after that to relax with some wine and cheese while looking at the snow that is still trapped on the mountains.
June 06, 2012 at 11:09 pm
Escape from our daily life and just experience the essence of being a female! Sharing laughs and fun with friends. Doesn't really matter the setting... But a spa retreat would be heaven! By the way, we are all Faboverfifty and I feel we are Faboverfifty because of our " best friend/girlfriend" connections that we have shared throughout the years with each other.
June 06, 2012 at 07:45 pm
Mymost favorite is going to a spa together where you can relax together and be pampered. Something about the spa that feels like you are shutting out all the noise and sharing with friends and taking time for friends and self.
June 06, 2012 at 07:33 pm
Swapping gourmet recipies and tips; to playing tennis and walking together.
June 06, 2012 at 07:20 pm
Since marriage, children and military life - i would love to just be in my friends company. What a joy to be able to talk and laugh in person again. Lets see, eating out, having a drink and a laugh.... what could be better!? Oh! a spa treatment : )
June 06, 2012 at 07:08 pm

My favorite thing to do is talk and share, preferably over a meal. Women know how to get deep quickly and women support each other in a way that is different than the support we get from our the men in our lives. There's nothing more interesting or precious than nurturing and preserving those relationships with our women friends.
June 06, 2012 at 03:03 pm
Nothing better than chatting over a glass of wine!

I love spending time with my friends. We love shopping, eating, and just relaxing together.....A getaway would be awesome.
June 06, 2012 at 01:03 pm
Lay in the sun! There is nothing more relaxing than basking in the sun with some of the best friends I have. This trip would be great. Not so much for me but for the other 3 that would be with me. We all work together & they have had some stressful months since the first of the year. Thanks for the opportunity to register for this trip! It will be great for whomever the lucky ones are!
June 06, 2012 at 12:58 pm
Lunch, a glass of Pinot, shopping and loads of conversation! A change of venue to CO would be divine!!
June 06, 2012 at 12:51 pm

June 06, 2012 at 10:47 am
relaxing by a pool after a massage with a glass of sangria sounds like heaven, especially with my best friends whe also happen to be my daughter and sister
June 06, 2012 at 10:43 am
My girlfriends and I would always get toget on friday night and have dinner and a drink. We have always tried to plan a weekend get away and never did. Then I gotten laid off my job and couldn't find another one. Now I have moved over five hundred miles from them to live with my daughter. I would love to win this trip for us so we can get together like old time and have a BLAST. I miss them very much.
Thank you have a good day

A weekend getaway to catch up with what's going on with everyone.
We live such busy lives these days . It's important to take some quality time to unplug from our daily busy lives and just relax and enjoy each others company.
June 06, 2012 at 04:43 am
I enjoy dining out with my girlfriends, and sometimes we even venture out to sporting events!
June 06, 2012 at 03:45 am
A late afternoon ride with a girlfriend(s) on a trail in Maunawili on my lovely quiet horse. Around the time the sun streaks thru the mountain valleys. Watching the glow from the sun catch my best friends' hair that follows the same golden from my mare's mane. It's magical -this special time of day-and when both their golds match- and neither has a clue. My heart swells, my eyes sting a bit, and I feel my lips' warmth become a slight smile. I want to hold this feeling forever-just pull it out of my saddle-warmed butt pocket-left or right-it won't matter. Just knowing its' there...there's only a few women I know who would get it, and ditto...
June 06, 2012 at 01:49 am
I love to get together with my girlfriends and go shopping, out to dinner, and finish the night off with a great wine telling stories of our high school days of long ago. I would be so happy to be able to go on a 2 night get away with my friends - what a wonderful opportunity that would be.
June 06, 2012 at 01:45 am
Laugh, Shop, Relax, Be there for each other. It's been a long time since we got together. This would be a perfect vacation for us!
June 06, 2012 at 01:36 am

June 06, 2012 at 01:35 am
I love hanging out with my friends at meals, when swimming, going to movies, etc. Anything we can do together is fun.
June 06, 2012 at 01:13 am
My favorite thing to do with my girlfriends is getting out in the great outdoors and walk,
June 06, 2012 at 12:51 am
Whaty a way to kick off the summer with a girls weekend to do the things we love,,,of course with a diffenrent view. we just love to hang out and forget about our cares and be free. It's a needed "getaway" for every women. We need one to start our summer, hangout, share bottle of wine, cookout together and everyone cooks their dish. It's so much fun...It's a girl thing!! I can't wait to go!!
June 06, 2012 at 12:50 am
Dining out or shopping together. Also, just a few moments
to catch up at the local coffee shop is so enjoyable in such a
busy world. Also, seems we are always helping someone SELL something; from cosmetics to jewelry to candles. We love a reason to have a party BUT, I guess mostly when we
have a weekly Bible study session. We eat of course, discuss the weekly study and have a prayer time for our children, families and our schools and our country.
June 06, 2012 at 12:47 am
We love to hang out, whenever, where ever, talk, laugh, eat out, cook out, travel...we need a girls weekend together. I haven't seen them in a year and we are long over due...PLEASE!!!!! Got a jonesin here!!!
June 06, 2012 at 12:37 am

June 06, 2012 at 12:12 am

Shopping/going out to eat/movies.
June 05, 2012 at 11:08 pm
We love to laugh, if we go for a meal we tend to have others looking at us because we laugh so hard we cry. We have been close for over 35 years. I tend to invite my new friends out with us, but they don't feel very comfortable. Maybe because there are so many inside jokes and we try to explain, I never want anyone to feel left out. We have all been through a lot in our lives, I and another friend are cancer survivors. I have been through domestic abuse, and I honestly don't know where I would be without them. We listen to each other, no matter how small the "problem" is that they are going through, and no matter what happens, we always end up laughing. I don't know where I would be without my "girls"
June 05, 2012 at 11:04 pm
We love to go out dancing and listen to live music.
June 05, 2012 at 10:41 pm

June 05, 2012 at 10:22 pm
Going out and letting loose!
June 05, 2012 at 10:21 pm
My girlfriends and I love to plan a week away at least once a year. We either go to play tennis, eat and drink. We love to spent a spa weekend together and get pampered and work out.
Whatever we decide we love being together and always have great memories!!!
June 05, 2012 at 10:21 pm
Spas and or shopping, and dinning out are our favorite pastimes when we are together.

Hang out at the beach at Lake Michigan take peanut butter and jelly sandwich picnic.
June 05, 2012 at 10:02 pm
My girlfriends and I belong to a women's outdoor group called Women Outdoors World Wide. My club is the Cowtown Divas. We have fun shooting in women's competition shooting matches, fishing, hunting and archery. Afterwards we like to relax with our cocktails and talk "girl talk", sometimes about work, sometimes about our husbands, kids or just life. Once a year we take a weekend "Diva Roadtrip". We like anything with "bling" on it!!
June 05, 2012 at 09:55 pm
First Saturday of each month starting in spring we go to a plant swap where evryone brings a peice of a plant started up to swap for another that they see at the plant swap. You see so many new kinds of plants and it's so much fun learning about them and how to take care of them.
June 05, 2012 at 09:54 pm
Our favorite activities are sharing spa days and relaxing, we share good meals together and shopping days. To have our getaways are most important times amongst good friends, making memories and sharing our adventures with friends and family.
June 05, 2012 at 09:53 pm
Enjoying each other's company wherever we are, whatever we're doing.
June 05, 2012 at 09:51 pm
We do the same things that old ladies do: go to free movie screenings; go to health seminars that offer free food; go to Senior events sponsored by the City of Jacksonville; go to programs at each others churches; go to concerts; email; talk on the phone; etc. The one thing we do separately, although we encourage each other regarding it, is to participate in partisan politics. I am a white Republican; they are black Democrats. We choose our friends based on shared core values, not political parties. Life is too short ( or long, depending on how you look at sliding toward 80) to miss out on good tJudith Youngbloodimes with fun people!!
June 05, 2012 at 09:51 pm
Love to have a picnic on the beach
June 05, 2012 at 09:42 pm
My girlfriends and I recently went on a walking tour and we had a blast! We love to have lunch, dinner, take in a movie, or use sit around and shoot the breeze. Girlfriends, gotta love em!
June 05, 2012 at 09:39 pm
Hanging out together, laughing, discussing life, family and in general enjoying each other.
June 05, 2012 at 09:32 pm

We often go out for dinner and then attend our book club.
June 05, 2012 at 09:19 pm
Tennis and talking!
June 05, 2012 at 09:18 pm
I wish I would see my friends more. If we do get together it's over dinner or maybe go shopping. Normally though we hardly ever see each other. Either our lives are too hectic to get together or we don't have money or some other reason. That is why winning this would be fantastic. Thank you.
June 05, 2012 at 09:12 pm
Just spending time together talking, doing one another's hair and makeup, drinking and eating, it's not what we're doing - it's who we're doing it with.
June 05, 2012 at 09:07 pm
I LOVE getting away with my girls friends! (for the day...week-end...week..whatever!) It's never enough time!
I have a group of girlfriends I have walked the 60 mile breast cancer walk with, for 7 years now. We give up our week-ends starting in May to train - all the way to Halloween week-end when we spend 3 grueling days walking. Since we are either all survisors or have loved ones that are - we never consider this anything but a labor of love. (We don't love the calluses and blisters we get, but we do love the idea we are making a difference!) We do get PLENTY of time for girl talk during this 6 months!!
To be able to spend the week-end with my besties - at a spa no less - would be incredible!
June 05, 2012 at 08:57 pm
Going to yoga, followed by a healthy lunch, and an unhealthy dessert!
June 05, 2012 at 08:52 pm
having a great lunch and husband bashing.
June 05, 2012 at 08:49 pm
My friends and I love to take a night out each month, with no kids or husbands, to eat at a nice restaurant and enjoy a nice glass of wine.
June 05, 2012 at 08:48 pm
I simply love just being with my kindred sisters and being open to what will emerge. No plans, no schedules, no "have-tos". Just being together in pure authentic time and loving every minute of it!
June 05, 2012 at 08:42 pm
My friends and I enjoy going to nearby cities for lunch and shopping. We sometimes take daytrips and weekend trips.
We just enjoy spending time and seeing the sites.
June 05, 2012 at 08:40 pm
We girls just love to talk to each other-sharing ideas, thoughts and feelings...from the the most inane topics to the really important stuff. I guess you could say our activity of choice is engaging in the process of processing!
June 05, 2012 at 08:37 pm
I am still great friends with 3 of my college roommates from 35 years ago! We love to get together, have cocktails and dinner telling stories and laughing about old times. But we also love talking about our families. We get together once a month but also go away on a girls' trip once a year. It is so great to pick up at anytime and act like we did in college. We just like "being" with each other shopping, drinking, laughing, or doing nothing with each other. Old friends are the best, loving you when you were young, foolish, and willing to do anything without a second thought!
June 05, 2012 at 08:36 pm
Girlfriends are just that because we can do anything together and enjoy ourselves. Gossip, drink wine, watch movies, critique fashion, tell each other how fabulous the others look, eat evil things, gush over men-things, and drink more wine!
June 05, 2012 at 08:24 pm
My 2 closest girlfriends have moved recently and we don't see each other as much as we used to. It would be lovely to share this experience with them.
June 05, 2012 at 08:18 pm
My mom and my sisters are my best gal pals. It seems we can never get together just the 4 of us and spend time shopping and eating out without kids or husbands. They are always so busy volunteering at their churches, schools and communities, I believe this would be a great way to treat them to much needed rest and relaxation!!
June 05, 2012 at 08:15 pm
I like going to the beach and hanging out all day
June 05, 2012 at 08:08 pm
LAUGH, LAUGH, LAUGH!!!
June 05, 2012 at 08:03 pm
We go out to eat, go to shows, Red Hats, Garden Club,Aquatics etc.
June 05, 2012 at 08:01 pm
We love to get together for lunch or coffee and discuss books, life, love, kids and food
June 05, 2012 at 07:44 pm
A night on the town.
June 05, 2012 at 07:40 pm
This would be a trip of a lifetime for me, my two sisters, and our 90 yr old mother! What a great gift this would be for mom who has never been on a vaca with all 3 of her daughters; just one at a time.
June 05, 2012 at 07:35 pm
Well, it does involve food and good drinks (wine or a new cocktail) and just being together to talk. You know you can't get girlfriends together without having a good soul cleansing talk about our significant others, our kids, our fashion whims at the time, what we're reading and just plan old laughing our as--- off , till someone pees in their pants! Love it!
June 05, 2012 at 07:33 pm

I would just like to relax , have all the pampering one girl can get on her get-away!! I'd love to sit by the pool, do some excercises in the pool. It is easier on the body!! A few healthy drinks, & just Chill Out!! I have a sister-in--law that could use some pampering!! She work two jobs & yet has time to help her daughter with her Grandchildren when she works. The Spa sounds Great , i could really enjoy this.
June 05, 2012 at 07:21 pm
We have great fun skyping as we live in different states and havent seen each other in years! But when we get together no matter where or when we enjoy each other's company and realize what a gift friends are to each other!
June 05, 2012 at 07:21 pm
We love to hike in new places as often as we can.
June 05, 2012 at 07:20 pm
Shopping and spa get togethers.
June 05, 2012 at 07:18 pm
We love getting together once a week for dinner and in the warmer months we enjoy hiking.
June 05, 2012 at 07:11 pm

Movie and a dinner out
June 05, 2012 at 07:06 pm
Go out on the town, have some cocktails in a nice resturant.
Then have some girl talk in our room. Just fun have fun.
June 05, 2012 at 07:00 pm
One of the most wonderful aspects of being away with girlfriends, at least my girlfriends, is that just spending time with each other becomes, without the distraction of spouses, children, grandchildren, it's own activity!!
What I would enjoy the most would be the freedom to explore Vail with my friends, enjoying some shopping and some food along the way..... and then going back to the Resort and reveling together with all that it has to offer.
June 05, 2012 at 06:52 pm
Sit around a table and just chat. Of course with some yummy snacks.
June 05, 2012 at 06:49 pm
dine on munchies, have a glass or two of wine and just talk for the most part. sometimes we craft or walk, but we always are jabbering and catching up with each other.
June 05, 2012 at 06:47 pm
We love to mix up a pitcher of margaritas and play some bridge!
June 05, 2012 at 06:45 pm
We usually get together at one of our homes. Each of us brings a dish and we have a wonderful time. We get to catch up on what our kids are doing ect. It's usually that simple because its cheap and fun!!!!
June 05, 2012 at 06:42 pm
I would love to win this not only for myself but for three great friend.s
I was out of permanent work for several years and have not had a vacation in 6 years.
Another friend of mine had retired and then her partner deserted her. She has had to take a low-paying job and can't afford a vacation.
My other two friends, have been very generous to me through the difficult times, and this would be a wonderful way to pay them back.
June 05, 2012 at 06:34 pm
Take turns listening to each other talk about our past and present. Often times we fail to truly get to know one another. We may do things together, but do we really know the person inside...
June 05, 2012 at 06:28 pm
I love getting my nails done! We can have drinks while being pampered.
June 05, 2012 at 06:23 pm
My favorite activity to do with my girlfriends is to spend time together - listening to each others life stories... laughing, crying, and just appreciating our friendship more and more as the years pass. Miles have separated us but our friendship endures, and we get together as often as possible. When we do, it's like we were never apart. They are my rock.
June 05, 2012 at 06:08 pm
Its a toss up between the hiking we do and the Mexican food & margaritas we enjoy at Bennys afterwards....
June 05, 2012 at 06:01 pm
I love to hang out at the pool, have mani-pedi's and just relax.. Of course, this only happens in my dreams.
June 05, 2012 at 05:59 pm
anything or nothing at all--just being together, enjoying one another's company--anywhere, anytime!

June 05, 2012 at 05:30 pm
Morning walks with my friends - are both physically and emotionally beneficial.
June 05, 2012 at 05:24 pm
SHOPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
June 05, 2012 at 05:23 pm
My BFF s and I just like to sit back with some grazing foods, some ice cold drinks, chill out, and catch up on what has been going on since the last time we had a chance to slow down and talk. To actually all be in the same place at the same time would be the best thing that could happen to us. We are all taking care of parents, adult children with difficulties, grand children with immature parents, disabled siblings,etc. We are in the middle of generations that require OUR attention, so we don't take time to pay attention to ourselves.
June 05, 2012 at 05:22 pm
sometimes, it's just sitting. at times, the chatter goes on and on. at other times, it's just knowing your friend is sitting beside you and the silence brings peace. just being together is all it takes.
June 05, 2012 at 05:18 pm
We pool our money together, get a nearby hotel for an evening and have or attend mini-reunions with our classmates, do a little shopping and/ eat a nice meal out. We are all working women with about two dimes to rub together at any given moment. We are a support system for each other without judgement or ridicule. We laugh, cry, tell secrets, solve world issues, watch movies, care for each other in illness and stress and reminisce about where we started and how far and deep our friendship has come. When one joined Weight Watchers the rest of us had Bloody Mary's with her because they only count 2 pts! We will go to professional ballgames together, get lost in familiar places together, argue like sisters and sit in a hotel room on the mornings after an overnight and just relax watching cartoons! We are good medicine and certainly the best stress relievers each other has.
June 05, 2012 at 05:03 pm
We love to go out for lunch when we can.
June 05, 2012 at 04:58 pm
Just catching up with life makes for a great time. Everyone is always so busy. I really enjoy going back to my childhood home and visiting with friends who I seldom get to spend time with. Actually, there are seven of us and being together at a Spa would be super.
June 05, 2012 at 04:51 pm
be ourselves, be spontaneous
June 05, 2012 at 04:50 pm
My gf's and I are all about making memories, whether it be trying a new restaurant, chatting over coffee, wine or chocolate tasting...we create memories that last a lifetime!
June 05, 2012 at 04:46 pm
would love to spend time with my three sisters- just being with each other without the stress of everyday life. We lost our mother this year and it has been a sad year- it would do us wonders to connect and revive.
June 05, 2012 at 04:45 pm
explore great healthy food options in restaurants wherever we get to travel to
June 05, 2012 at 04:44 pm
be ourselves, be spontaneous
June 05, 2012 at 04:43 pm
Laugh!!! Eat!!! Chat!!!
It never fails when we are together, We:
We laugh until the tears run down our legs.
We eat until one of us or all of us unsnaps our britches.
We chat and share about our current lives until we start repeating shared childhood memories and husbands/work or children reel us back.
We can never have a brief visit or a brief phone call. We never tire of each other's company. We've been together so long we know each other's bathroom habits (thus making traveling together alot easier. We all have our favorite things to do, so we alternate activities. We all grew up in a small town with one flashing red light. We learned to have fun on a shoestring and value family. We were there together for 1st tea sets & 2-wheeled bikes to 1st kisses & heartbreaks. We shared weddings, babies and death of our parents. We now are in the phase sharing divorce, gray hair and grandchildren. EVERTHING changes but the bond between "OLD FRIENDS".
June 05, 2012 at 04:37 pm
Play cards every Fri. night.
June 05, 2012 at 04:32 pm
My favorite activity with my girlfriends is going out to lunch followed by some window shopping.
June 05, 2012 at 04:31 pm
Sitting and looking at our high school pictures and older photos from our youth. Laughing at how things that seemed so important then made no difference in our lives at all!! Enjoying tea, water or wine and being close.
June 05, 2012 at 04:22 pm
There are four of us who all received our MBAs together back in 1978. We are scattered between the east coast, California, and Arizona, but over the last two years (now that all four of us have retired) we've managed to get together in AZ. What do we do? We shop, hike, eat, and drink as we talk about our lives, our husbands, our children, our travels, our health, our fears for the future, our laughs from the past - and just enjoy (and more, importantly, support) each other.
June 05, 2012 at 04:22 pm
We go out to dinner, sit around - get caught up on things we may of missed and have a glass or two of wine.
June 05, 2012 at 04:20 pm
We get together to play cards, drink some fine wine and eat all night!!! We laugh and get loud and just chill out
June 05, 2012 at 04:19 pm
Laugh. We enjoying having a great belly laugh, or many. I can't pay the air fare, so I guess it's a no for me.
June 05, 2012 at 04:14 pm
My favorite activity with my best friend is dinner out without the rest of our families followed by a movie. Both of us have been living super stress filled lives lately and need the time away to splurge on ourselves.
June 05, 2012 at 04:14 pm
Just talk and talk. It is so good because women tend to have the same perspective or the same feelings about all of our relationships, familial or romantic.
June 05, 2012 at 04:12 pm
My girlfriends and I like to Live, Laugh, Love...and Eat lol We are more like sisters than just BFFs.
June 05, 2012 at 04:12 pm
Spend time catching up, trying new things and laughing.
June 05, 2012 at 04:11 pm
Just to get away and not interrupts just catching up on when we last talked and what else is happening in our lives
June 05, 2012 at 04:04 pm
Have fun! I so rarely get to see and do things with my girlfriends (due to work!) that anytime together is refreshing and delightful. We all work crazy schedules so having the time to actually go and do something together would be amazing if not mind-blowing!
June 05, 2012 at 04:01 pm
Our favorite activity is to just get away for a few days of LOW Time (Ladies Only Weekend). Doesn't matter where we go, how far or near, as long as we can carve out some quality time just for us girls to relax and catch up with each other's lives.
June 05, 2012 at 03:56 pm
We don't spend as much time together as I wish we could, so it's nice to just talk and catch up.
June 05, 2012 at 03:44 pm
Anything that I do with my friends is my favorite. We all have kiddos, so when we do get to spend time just the moms, we love it. We can be at the bar, at the grocery store, or workin hard in the yard, and we have the best time ever!
June 05, 2012 at 03:41 pm
Our girls like to Chill ! head to the beach with the coolers filled with drinks and some food that is good for you and some that is really bad. Arrange the beach chairs and unbrellas. Radio playing, singing, people watching, playing cornhole, telling stories, LAUGHING ! reading a book, sticking our toes in the water to test the temputure.. WOW ! are we there yet???
BUT - all of these things can be done in the mountains toooo ! SWEET .......
June 05, 2012 at 03:36 pm
There is a group of women who have been meeting at the Asilomar Conference Center in Pacific Grove, California every year to sew and work on their own personal projects. We meet for five days and this year was our 16th year! Over the years we have become close friends. While the majority live in the Bay Area I come from the Central Valley in California, two live in Sonoma, one comes from Seattle, one from Georgia, and two come from Boulder, Colorado. We all look forward to this retreat every year.

Get together, have a glass of wine, and talk about current activities such as books, movies, kids....
June 05, 2012 at 03:20 pm

June 05, 2012 at 02:55 pm
My girlfriends like to travel particularly warm places and we swimming, walking on the beach. We like to visit museums and historical sites. But mostly we enjoy relaxing and reading books on our nooks.
June 05, 2012 at 02:50 pm

Hatching our plans to change the world.
June 05, 2012 at 01:48 pm
Go to the local learn to paint studio for a class. They offer 2 1/2 classes where you complete an acrylic painting and the instructors are so patient. My sister and I love to do this. Fun and therapeutic! Let's my inner creative child come out to play.
June 05, 2012 at 01:45 pm
Spa days! We've never been able to do an overnight but we do try, once a year, to go to a local day spa but this would be spectacular!
June 05, 2012 at 01:43 pm
Hiking, gabbing & laughing over a great meal, spa treatments.

June 05, 2012 at 01:35 pm
Tennis! Shopping, dining and laughing!!!!
June 05, 2012 at 01:33 pm
need to get away and relax.
June 05, 2012 at 01:31 pm
"The balm of life, a kind and faithful friend" a quote from 1776 by Mercy Otis Warren. It was true then and even more so in these days when friends are scattered far and wide. When we do gather; our favorite activities are catching up with each other's lives over good food and wine. Shopping and just relaxing with each other is close behind.
June 05, 2012 at 01:28 pm
I am turning 60 this year, as are many of my girlfriends. Although we are spread out around the country, we still love getting together to share fine wine, good food and lots of laughs. Getting away together would be a dream come true for all of us.
June 05, 2012 at 01:25 pm
I LOVE to play golf, Walk, go out to eat, go toa a "Chic" Flick or just sit together on someone's deck and just have girl talk or whatever topic is on anyone's minds! I am so blessed to have so many good friends who share my different loves!
June 05, 2012 at 01:23 pm
Although we have been separated by continents and time, and now about 2000 miles, we maintain our 30 years of friendship, creativity, and support. Our favorite activities are being together.
June 05, 2012 at 01:20 pm
We all are so busy that we relish being able to relax and try a new and exciting restaurant. We all think that we are good cooks, but there is nothing like foraging into an unknown cuisine. For our cherished all-day outings, we look for obscure antique shops in some of the small towns that surround our area. We keep trying to schedule a spa day together, but have yet to make it happen.
June 05, 2012 at 01:18 pm
Anything we do together is fun. Whether it is shopping, playing cards, having dinner, etc. It is our special 'us' time!
June 05, 2012 at 01:18 pm
Just plain good together time,being pampered,taking in the surroundings and good old girl talk!
Not done often enough....
June 05, 2012 at 01:15 pm
concerts, flea markets, hikes. casinos and more
June 05, 2012 at 01:13 pm
My favourite activity with girlfriends consists of hiking or walking together, followed by a nutritious yet light lunch in a favourite restaurant.
June 05, 2012 at 01:08 pm
Girls night out...chatting over a glass of wine and a good meal!

June 05, 2012 at 01:08 pm
My favorite things to do with my friends would be shopping, see a play, after dinner or lunch top it off with champagne cocktails and cupcakes! Whatelse is there to do with your girls!?! :-)
June 05, 2012 at 01:04 pm
There's a group of 8 girldfriends that I have been friends with, some since second grade, and we try to get together at least once a year. It has been difficult the last few years so this would be wonderful for us to get together. Four of us would help split the cost to bring the other four if we won this fantastic trip. I lived in Vail for 10 years in the 80's. My children were born there. It would be great to return for the first time since moving away.
June 05, 2012 at 01:04 pm
We used to work together and kept a friendship going over twenty years. Like sisters often do, some of us moved out of state, married, divorced, and we all grew in different directions but remain close. It would be wonderful to catch up over a glass of wine, a jacuzzi (oh, those Palm Springs weekends!) and alot of talking!
June 05, 2012 at 01:02 pm
My friends and I love getting together for every reason. We plan cooking parties, where we try out new exotic recipes (things our families grimace at!) appetizers and wines. Then we eat and talk, clean up and talk and just sit and talk. We catch up on kids, grand kids and plan our next outing.
In a few weeks two of us are headed to California for one of our friends sons wedding! Then we are stealing her away for a couple days of relaxation after the wedding is over!
I didn't have sisters, so I chose my own!!!
June 05, 2012 at 12:59 pm
My hubby doesn't want to travel!!! I want to take a trip!
Eating out and talking, with girlfriends is a great activity!
June 05, 2012 at 12:58 pm
Shopping, swimming, catching up on all our news.

RELAX!
June 05, 2012 at 12:45 pm
Go to wine tastings & festivals.
June 05, 2012 at 12:43 pm
My favorite thing to do with girl friends is just relax and LAUGH. As we get older, we get so many responsibilities that we lose that side of us that just flat out belly laughs. That would be my favorite thing to do with my closes girls.
June 05, 2012 at 12:38 pm
Discussing the day's events, both good and bad, has to be my favorite activity with my friends. Somehow, just having them there to share life's happenings makes everything better!
June 05, 2012 at 12:37 pm
We love to lay around and relax whether it is at the beach, the pool, or the spa!
June 05, 2012 at 12:36 pm
I sooooo need a vacation and would love to take my girlfriends with me! We love to go to the spa and go walking and shopping..........and sharing with each other about whats going on in our lives. Most of all we support each other.
June 05, 2012 at 12:35 pm
Great food and great conversation with dear friends.

June 05, 2012 at 12:29 pm
I haven't been to the state of Colorado yet, so I would look forward to enjoying the natural beauty and the many sights of Vail. Maybe do some kayaking, biking and see what events are happening then.
June 05, 2012 at 12:29 pm
Chatting :D My best friends are in Rhode Island and I get to see them once a year. So the activity I like best is just chatting and being around them to catching up face to face :D
June 05, 2012 at 12:28 pm
eating and shopping. shopping and eating. :)
June 05, 2012 at 12:28 pm
Going from AZ to SF, staying with my best friend while her husband goes to Hawaii. Having all the girls over. No breakfast, lunch, dinner. Eat whatever, whenever, get dressed or no. Go to plays, shopping and everywhere men aren't interested. Such a wonderful time. Like being set free.
June 05, 2012 at 12:26 pm
I love to shop, eat and gossip with my girlfriends!
June 05, 2012 at 12:23 pm

June 05, 2012 at 12:11 pm
Shopping and giggling and drinking wine. What fun!
June 05, 2012 at 12:10 pm
We love to sit and talk, eat, talk some more, drink, and laugh til our sides hurt.
June 05, 2012 at 12:10 pm
Sharing a treat like this with four friends would be awesome! I would have a very hard time deciding who to take because I can think of at least ten women who need and deserve this trip. I would start the day shopping, but not too early. We would enjoy a leisurely lunch followed by an afternoon of spa treatments. A gourmet dinner, not too filling and then a movie and popcorn.
The best part of the whole day would be no phone calls asking for this or that. I would not have to drive someone somewhere or have dinner prepared by a certain time.
I'm ready! When do I leave?
June 05, 2012 at 12:05 pm
We actually have a hair stylist in our mist. We get our hair done, watch movies and if its a early saturday morning we eat breakfast together. Fun, fun, fun.
June 05, 2012 at 12:05 pm

June 05, 2012 at 12:04 pm
We love hanging out getting caught up while having lunch or shopping!
June 05, 2012 at 12:03 pm
We plan our GNO (girls night out) at least 1 to 2 times a month either at a restaurant or at our houses, catching up with each other's lives whether it is family, traveling, favorite shopping or cooking tips while sharing food, wine and lots of laughter.
June 05, 2012 at 12:02 pm
We love love laugh as we run down memory lane.
June 05, 2012 at 12:00 pm
Shopping, lunch & either a massage or a Mani-Pedi (we ARE talking in a perfect world, LOL!) would be ideal... but sometimes just luch & some "Catch-up" time is perfect, too! Thanks for the chance, sure could use this.... (sigh) keeping my fingers crossed!
June 05, 2012 at 12:00 pm
eat dinner and see a movie
June 05, 2012 at 11:58 am
Go out to dinner and catch up - then hang out at the hotel and gab all night.
June 05, 2012 at 11:56 am
This would be a God send! Miss my girlfriends so much and it would be fantastic to have some time just for US!
June 05, 2012 at 11:56 am
Out for drinks and dinner. Good food, good company and good conversation. Just catching up is great. Nothing better.
June 05, 2012 at 11:53 am
Walk and talk!
June 05, 2012 at 11:52 am
Actually I dont have much girlfriend time at all. I live out in the boonies and everything is so far away. We email each other so it seems like we talk everyday. I would love to experience actual face to face saturated "Girll Time". Pick me :)
June 05, 2012 at 11:47 am
We like to sit on my balcony when the weather is lovely, and sip on peach bellinis == talk, relax, take in the fresh air, my garden, and watch the birdies and squirrels play about...
We've enjoyed sipping wine in the Moon tub at Ten Thousand Waves Japanese Health Spa in Santa Fe, New Mexico... at midnight, when the Moon is full -- or make snow hats to put on our heads in the same spa tub -- during an early afternoon, spring snowstorm...
Going to hear Chris Issak or Ottmar Liebert at a small supper club together -- enjoying the great music...
And having lovely meals together...watching good movies together...reading and discussing great meals together...
June 05, 2012 at 11:47 am
We volunteer at the Salinas, California Rodeo for four days. We serve the lunch and dinner for the directors and their guests and then clean up afterwards. We also volunteer in the Presidents Tent for the California Airshow, We do this for two or three days. Myself and my 5 girlfriends have worked for therse two great events for the last 30 years together. Three of us have moved away and out of state, but we still get together two times a year.
June 05, 2012 at 11:47 am
My favorite thing to do with my girlfriends is to go shopping and partying at night.
June 05, 2012 at 11:46 am
I love going to the spa then to do high tea..i love doing high tea at least once a month.
P.S..awesome contest..thanks for the chance.
June 05, 2012 at 11:43 am
I just moved to New Orleans and we love shopping at thrift stores, antiques, and local flea markets. Then there are our brunch and long lunches. We enjoy going to any and all events in NOLA. Our mission today, wardrobe closet. Garrett
June 05, 2012 at 11:41 am
Boy do I need this. My daughter walks down the aisle in 116.5 hours. This wedding planning has been in the works for 19 months. I went from a house with 4 kids down to two in a week . My son starts college in August and will move out as well. All these years you think I can't wait for the kids to grow up and move on. Now my kids have grown u and moved on. All I'm left with is a crushed heart. Someone needed to warn me.
June 05, 2012 at 11:41 am
We love to get away once or twice a year for a long weekend to just enjoy each other's company while shopping, eating, having a few laughs.
June 05, 2012 at 11:39 am
I love being at a spa with girlfriends- unwinding and sharing-it's a great bonding experience.
June 05, 2012 at 11:37 am
sounds great!
June 05, 2012 at 11:36 am
Going to water aerobics and then have coffee and chatting after class.
June 05, 2012 at 11:36 am
Love to win and love my age.
June 05, 2012 at 11:36 am
Dining quietly in a corner booth is a favorite outing. Over
a lunch and sipping a drink we cry, laugh and spill our
guts.
June 05, 2012 at 11:35 am
Anytime I can get together with any of my girlfriends is a favorite activity. Whether we eat, drink, shop or walk and talk is special. I've grown up or grown with my three best friends and we share so much history. I don't get to see them often because we no longer live in the same areas. I could stand in a long line at the post office, during the holidays, crabby and impatient people all around, and be in my own world of chatter, tears and laughter with any one of these friends. To be able to have all four of us, together for two days at a beautiful resort in Colorado to celebrate my upcoming 60th birthday would be the gift of a lifetime!
June 05, 2012 at 11:34 am
Shopping and drinking margaritas!
June 05, 2012 at 11:34 am
Hang out/chat/walk/kick it/hair/nails/masques and clothes, o my!

COFFEE & SHARE/IMPART.
June 05, 2012 at 11:28 am
Usually get together to for dinner, talk, games & cards.
June 05, 2012 at 11:28 am
When we get together, we relax for awhile. Then we talk about the big issues in our life...husbands/partners, children, jobs, money, parents, and what it was like growing up together.
June 05, 2012 at 11:27 am
I need a girl's getaway, I have four children (not including my husband) and I work full-time. I need to get away with my girls and do girlie things. The ground rules will be NO talk of husbands or children allowed. Please power that whoever you are choose me and my girls we are desperate!!! Thanks
June 05, 2012 at 11:26 am
My girlfriends and I don't have much time or money to go to spas, dine out, or travel ....we are all super-busy with jobs, taking care of our kids and husbands, and schoolwork, both ours and our children's. To have the opportunity to get away together for a couple of days to relax, enjoy each other's company, and have some "us time" would be glorious and much-appreciated: we would love the chance to reconnect and recharge. Thanks for this opportunity to participate.
June 05, 2012 at 11:26 am
We love to go to Garden Walks, auctions, shopping in quaint towns and to lunch!
June 05, 2012 at 11:22 am
Go to a restaurant overlooking the ocean and just have the time of our lives. Joking and laughing leaving our problems at home.
June 05, 2012 at 11:22 am
travel
June 05, 2012 at 11:21 am
I am a 54 year old mother of 4. My children are 18 years apart, and I have done not one thing without them for 38 years. My youngest son just started college last fall, and for the first time in my life I am free to have some adventures. This new found freedom is especially sweet, since I know I did everything in my power to help my children grow and become wonderful adults. I don't have one single regret about the sacrifices I made, and that feels really great!
I'd love a girlfriend's weekend.....what a treat!
Nancy
June 05, 2012 at 11:20 am
just sit around and eat and talk for hours on end
June 05, 2012 at 11:20 am
I love to have a glass of wine (or two) have a nibble and take some sort of life affirming class (not necessarily in this order).
Be it yoga, or nature walk class, or a sketch class.
Or go to an interesting exhibit and then talk about it, or go to an "indie film"..there is just so much to do.
You just have to stay interested and interested!
June 05, 2012 at 11:19 am
My favorite activity would just be sitting and chatting with my friends. Catching up on all the things that we normally don't have time to talk about.
June 05, 2012 at 11:18 am
Having a truely girlfriends out would be a dream! I have never had time for myself for self-indulgence! I think that I would take my sisters and just have the time of our lives! :)
June 05, 2012 at 11:18 am
Would be a golden opportunity for girlfriends to get together and have a wonderful time.
June 05, 2012 at 11:16 am
Chilling around a pool or on a beach, then a great dinner
June 05, 2012 at 11:15 am
When we are together, we love to talk and laugh. Friends for over 30 years and we neve get tired of eachother. A few drinks does help though.
June 05, 2012 at 11:14 am
We ll work so hard that is great to have night out and we all like to visit and vent !!
We like to go to a nice dinner and try some interesting cuisine and share a bootle of wine an then just get to talk..we ll work 90 hours a week when you add it all up...so it is hard to have those dinners too...and we so enjoy them..we always talk abut a girls vacation, but it is too hard to leave work..and if you do..you work the whole time you are away..so we want to pledge to have a girls weekend without our computers...and work..we all need to relax so much...good for our bodies and minds..
June 05, 2012 at 11:13 am
Our favorite activity . . .
Talking! Yep, there isn't anything we favor more. A close 2nd is travel. We have met in several fun places to explore, and, of course, talk!
June 05, 2012 at 11:13 am

June 05, 2012 at 11:13 am
Relax and Replenish......................
We just like to do basically "nothing"... We all have such PACKED lives. Grandkids, careers, volunteer & rescue work, etc.
We re-fuel each other............
June 05, 2012 at 11:10 am
Well, my girlfriends are also my sister and just being away from home is activity enough. But, there's usually a cocktail involved (though we talk about drinking much more than we actually drink). And really just do a whole lot of nothing which is something none of us get to do much of.
June 05, 2012 at 11:10 am
My favorite activity i with my girlfriends is spending an exciting evening at our local Botanical Gardens ,listning to music ,and sharing a picnic supper.

June 05, 2012 at 10:59 am
My favorite thing to do with my girlfriends is talk and catch up on everything. We might do this while going on a walk or bike ride, but the main thing is to reconnect even if it has been a long time since we have seen each other.
June 05, 2012 at 10:59 am
We get together to eat, drink & talk !!

June 05, 2012 at 10:55 am

June 05, 2012 at 10:55 am
We cruise as much as possible, but in our daily lives, we live on long island in new york and we love to go to atlantic city together and go into Manhattan to chinatown to eat outside at all the small restaurants and buy lots of stuff from street vendors. Much fun. All should try.
June 05, 2012 at 10:53 am
I love my girlfriends, but my husband is truly my best friend. I realize this isn't for men..but he honestly is the one person I wouldn't want to go anywhere without. Guess I won't be winning this one..

Because my two dearest friends and I live hectic lives as directors of museums and media, we often love to relax just sitting on the beach with lazy conversation and ice cold white wine. Doing nothing comes hard for us, so we schedule our downtime!

Three years ago I started running with the idea of running a marathon. Didn't know any runners, but joined a group. The women in my group have become some of my best friends - you can imagine that we spend alot of time together while training for a marathon, talking about everything in our lives. I would sure love to win this and pamper my friends who support me!

Lately, our favorite activity is getting together to dream of winning this vacation together! One gal has kids so her money is tight, let alone her opportunities to escape sans husband and kids, another has a husband who is recuperating from throat cancer. She needs this more than all of us, but is trying to not feel guilty about getting away and taking some time for herself and then there is me -- I just want to spend time with my buds.
June 05, 2012 at 10:30 am
I love to attend a ballet or opera with my friends and then go out for dessert and coffee.

June 05, 2012 at 10:29 am
We love to have lunch or dinner together and watch movies or attend a play.
June 05, 2012 at 10:29 am
Why is it that our girlfriends become even more important to us as we reach the FAB 50's? Maybe because we have been through so much, good and not so much, with each other. Or, simply that it is comforting to be with people who know all about you and like you, in spite of it all!
My friends and I can pick up right where we left off no matter how much time has passed. We can laugh for hours, with plenty of food and drink involved, naturally. We do this as often as possible and anywhere we can all be together. What a perfect locale this would be.
June 05, 2012 at 10:29 am

Anything I do with my girlfriends is a blast. We laugh, we share confidences, we support each other in times of crises. One of my friends and I have both gone through cancer and supported each other all the way. I feel as if this would be a wonderful way to thank them for all they have done!

June 05, 2012 at 10:25 am
My favorite thing to do with my girlfriends is to spend time together without our husband and children. Spending time this way allows us to just relax and be "girls" not wives, mothers, business women. We eat, drink, act silly, share stories and laugh. We don't get to do it very often, but when we do - it is always a WONDERFUL time.
June 05, 2012 at 10:24 am

June 05, 2012 at 10:21 am
I have so many wonderful friends that it would be hard to choose only 3 to go with me. With that said, I would hope to go with my childhood-highschool girlfriends back in Savannah, GA.
We would spend the time catching up because with time and money factors we don't see each other as often as we would like to. The spa treatments would be wonderful but just the down time alone with my best buddies would be great. When we get together we enjoy all sorts of activities from cultural to sports but what we enjoy most is hashing over old times and remembering the good times we had together.
June 05, 2012 at 10:21 am
We meet up at the gym at least twice a week. Our best time is when someone in the group choose a place to meet each week for eatery and drinks. During this time we talk about our past, present and most of all our future. We get each one opinion on certain issues that one might be dealing with. We always depart on a cheerful note and looks forward to our next outing.
June 05, 2012 at 10:21 am

My friends are my strength and my comfort. They have seen me through some very difficult times these past few years andthey have given me unconditional support. Real friends never pass judgement and allow you to make mistakes and they will stand by you in spite of oneself.

There are many things that my girlfriends and I do together. I believe it's really important to get together for "girl time" away from kids and spouses on a regular basis. We meet for breakfast, coffee, pedicures, bike rides, concerts, and sometimes even lunch at a tea room!
We also try to get away for a weekend once a year or so, and really spend some time relaxing away from our families.
June 01, 2012 at 11:41 pm

June 01, 2012 at 12:46 am
Talking, it won't matter where we are as long as we can catch up. If that involves rest and relaxatioin we've more than earned it! Should it ha[[en to be that we are fortunate and end up talking to each other in a beautiful place, wow, what an added extra. We could all use a short get away, it ahs been far too long. Pick us... Yaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy!

May 31, 2012 at 02:06 pm
My favorite thing to do with my girlfriends is just spend some time with them. It doesn't matter if we are doing anything or just sitting around talking. It's about allowing some time to get together. Sometimes our lives can get too busy. I do enjoy shopping and dinner with them. I've never done a SPA with my friends but would love to do that someday. Another fun thing to do with my friends is wine tasting. I will cross my fingers in hopes to win girlfriends getaway.
May 31, 2012 at 01:59 pm
Oh, could we have a wonderful Girlcation!
May 31, 2012 at 11:34 am
My favorite girlfriend activities are far removed from spas but that's exactly why we need a spa weekend! My best friend and I love to hike and ride our horses; in fact, she is my trainer. We would love to pamper ourselves in contrast to our usual pursuits of climbing through cactus-infested hills, breaking our nails as we scrub and polish our horses- actually, it would be nice to look better than our horses for a change!
May 31, 2012 at 10:21 am
Ready, set, shop!!

May 30, 2012 at 10:08 pm
I enjoy the being with my friends. We shop, walk, and eat together. Nothing more enjoyable then being with girlfriends to share stories, and to comfort each other!
May 30, 2012 at 09:31 pm

Us girls get together every thursday night with our husbands and do dinner at a different friends house every week. We enjoy catching up on what has gone on during the week while we help with the meal plans and just laugh and have some fun. It's funny cause the girls always sit in one room and chat, and the guys sit in the garage with the tv on, usually sports and do their thing!
May 30, 2012 at 05:27 pm
would love to win this for my wife rosie she deserves to get out with a few of her friends, shes a stay at home mom with 5 kids she does it all domestic mom, nanny, cook, chauffeur, and most of all great wife , she loves to lay out and spas and to go to happy hour when she can. this mini vacation would be a blast for her. thanks

We hang out, talk about the past, laugh a little, cry a little, talk about the future, and support each other through everything life throws at us!
May 30, 2012 at 04:55 pm
Spa activities are a great way to spend time with my girlfriends. We like to try new or exotic treatments at spas around the country and in our own backyard. The downtime is so luxurious!
May 30, 2012 at 04:34 pm
I can't wait to re-connect with my girls!
May 30, 2012 at 04:19 pm

We go down to La Jolla Scripts park for a day in the sun, snorkeling, dancing and having a picnik in the park.
May 30, 2012 at 03:31 pm
only my longest (oldest) girlfriends still call me my childhood nickname of "Swannie"~ and we try to get together at least once a month for dinner to catch up~ but we're all so busy with work..and weddings.. and funerals.. we're at that in between "sandwiched" time of life. It would be just so wonderful to have a couple of full days together to relax and get away~~we all need the break, and we all need the "girl time" together with those that have lived life with us, understand us, and love us anyway! It's those girlfriends with that kind of friendship that we call our chosen "family"! What a wonderful treat and wonderful memory that would be!
May 30, 2012 at 03:16 pm
My best friend lives in Colorado and I live in California, so we don't see each other often. When we're together we like to work out, walk, shop and always talk- about anything, but mostly anti-aging/beauty. We would relish the chance to have a get-a-way like this!
May 30, 2012 at 03:08 pm
Favorite activity is just to hang out and catch up.
May 30, 2012 at 03:05 pm
One of my favorite activities, (at least I dream of this) is to go to a place where we can have some quiet time, be at peace, relax and just enjoy being in the moment. Has this happened, no not once in my life. I will be 60 at the end (well that would be toorrow) of this month. My time just passes all of us by so quickly.
With the majority of my friends not at my age, but approaching, we are or will be empty nesters, soon. It would be so fantastic to meet at a beach somewhere, we could have spa treatments, sip a very nice cool beverage and pass our cares to the breeze. I truly can't think of anything more enjoyable.
Thank you
Liz

This would be the perfect trip for me, my mom, sister and BFF. I am a one year cancer survivor, my BFF is also a survivor and my mom and sister took care of both of us during our treatments. We could use a getaway like this
May 30, 2012 at 02:24 pm
In truth, just being together and connecting - no matter what activity - is the best. My girlfriends and I have scheduled the first friday of every month as our standing date night - we call it Lifebreath - to have one evening just for ourselves. We all have busy lives, work, family, kids - but one night a month we get together for a night of fun - we have checked out new restaurants and bars, museum nights, made tamales, and even a drag show. But really, most importantly, we make time for ourselves to reconnect, be together, and bask in our friendship.
May 30, 2012 at 02:17 pm
It would have to be plural..... shopping, dining, hiking, spa treatments or just relaxing doing nothing.
May 30, 2012 at 02:13 pm
Traveling, healing work, laughing, talking, long walks.
May 30, 2012 at 02:09 pm

May 30, 2012 at 02:02 pm
Catching up over a glass of wine! Listening, sharing, shopping, laughing/crying, supporting and just being there for each other through all of life's ups and downs.

May 30, 2012 at 07:30 am
Working 2 jobs makes it difficult to get with friends. When we do have a moment to get together is is for dinner either out at a restaurant or pot luck at someones house. Sometimes we may plan a dsy at the outlets. My friends and I would benefit from a girls getaway to catch up and get some much needed relaxation!!!
May 30, 2012 at 07:05 am
My friends and I go somewhere every year. We would be happy just staying in the hotel rooms and talking and drinking coffee (or adult beverage). But we try to explore the area, we do antique stores, small museums and, of course, shopping. We've done a spa weekend and 2 whole days at the Mall of America. Doesn't really matter where we are, just as long as we're together. Lots of talking.
May 30, 2012 at 06:58 am
My cousins are my best girlfriends we are so tight. We love to go to cruses and wine tasting then in the evenings go listen to music or dance. Anything we do is good as long as we are together

My girlfriends and myself love to shop, have dinner, have a couple of drinks and then have a wonderful massage. We have not been able to get together to do this in over a year because it seems something is always coming up to stop the "fun".
I would be soooooooooo grateful to win this wonderful week-end experience. Joni Infantino

We then spend our time together doing what ever we wish like shopping, saunas,dining, shows... We just have a wonderful time having fun together without the hubbie or kids to worry about.

Last year I broke my ankle, and my wonderful friends took care of me. They brought me food, did my errands and chores, and drove me around because I couldn't drive. I would like to repay them for giving up their time and for their kindness and care. A trip like this would be such a nice thank you for them.
May 29, 2012 at 10:58 pm

Every year, for the past 10+ years we have had a girl's weekend in November where we shop the Houston Nutcracker Market, have dinner, pile into one or two hotel rooms for the night,then shop again the next day!
May 29, 2012 at 09:27 pm
Hang out, eat and chat all night :)
May 29, 2012 at 09:24 pm
hanging out on the beach
May 29, 2012 at 09:18 pm
The thing I always do with each of my two BFFs (FOFs!), when we can get together, is sit in the hotel room or out at dinner, and talk into the wee hours, catching up with each other's lives, giving our advice to each other on current tragedies, celebrating milestones like birthdays or job promotions, and remind each other - just by being in each other's company - that girlfriends are the best, most constant, and completely reliable support system in the world. Even if we don't see each other often, when we meet, it's like we just were together yesterday, because it's a Sister Reunion!
May 29, 2012 at 09:17 pm
We love going to the movies! We stay till the credits and look for interesting names and read them out loud. It sounds silly and potentially annoying but it is our thing!
May 29, 2012 at 09:05 pm
I love spending time with my friends talking, eating, and playing cards or Bunco!
May 29, 2012 at 08:53 pm
Going to the movies or browsing through antique/flea markets.
May 29, 2012 at 08:49 pm
My favorite activity is sitting with my friends, drinking wine and sharing stories about how bad our relationships are with men!
May 29, 2012 at 08:26 pm
I just love sitting in the back yard looking out on the Lake and chatting with the ladies. A nice glass of wine or a mojito and we all set.
May 29, 2012 at 08:26 pm
Going to wine tastings, shopping, eating out in good restaurants and laughing alot!
May 29, 2012 at 08:23 pm
I love hanging out with my girl friends, around either the hot top of their lake front property, we walk our dogs together etc, but the best is camping and or fishing thanks
May 29, 2012 at 08:22 pm
I love to laugh and solve world problems with my friends.
Just being with them makes me smile! And by the way we
all need this trip more than I can say.
May 29, 2012 at 08:17 pm
I really enjoy anything/everything when with my girlfriends; dining out,movies,road trips, far away travels. When you're with your girlfiends, it's all good, it doesn't really matter where you are. This spa trip sounds wonderful. One of my friends just lost her husband to ALS...this would be the prefect perscription for having some time to gather thoughts and do some girlfriend bonding.PPM (Please Pick Me!!)
May 29, 2012 at 08:16 pm
go out for long lunches, so we can catch up on each others news
May 29, 2012 at 08:13 pm
WE LOVE TO GOING GAMING :) YEAH
May 29, 2012 at 08:04 pm
SPA DAYS! We love going once a year to a local spa (nothing as luxurious as Vail) and soaking, swimming, no makeup or fancy hair do's. Just laughing, talking, being silly. It's good to go back to your 20's once a year!
May 29, 2012 at 08:01 pm
My favorite activity to do with my girlfriends is going shopping for bargains and eating a healthy meal.
May 29, 2012 at 08:01 pm
We are 3 women who have been friendly for 40 years. We live in Florida. New York and Boston.
We meet at least once a year to laugh, cry, eat, shop.
May 29, 2012 at 07:57 pm
My favorite activity that I enjoy with my girlfriends is shopping at the outlet malls. We get up early and head to the outlet mall. We enjoy shopping at our favorite stores, going out to lunch, enjoying each others company, and we end the day with a pedicure.
May 29, 2012 at 07:56 pm
Like to go to lunch or supper and shopping
May 29, 2012 at 07:55 pm
While hanging out at someone's home & watching a movie is fun, we really enjoy live theater & museum events & exhibitions.
May 29, 2012 at 07:32 pm

I have 2 favorites.....besides walking and working out together ~ we like to enjoy red wine and chocolate or skinny margeritas and chips/salsa over encouraging spiritual conversation!
May 29, 2012 at 06:41 pm
Connecting, physically, spiritually & emotionally.
May 29, 2012 at 06:40 pm
Catching up and spending hours chatting with my girlfriends is the best time ever!
May 29, 2012 at 06:40 pm
Once a month 4 of us go out to dinner. It's a great time to catch up on our lives...........
May 29, 2012 at 06:31 pm
Going out to lunch together to gossip, always a nice break from the norm.
May 29, 2012 at 06:30 pm
I THINK THAT THE BEST ACTIVITY TO DO WITH MY GIRLFRIENDS IS TO GO TO THE SPA FOR THE WEEKEND IT IS JUST US RELAXING LOOKS FORWATD TO IT EVERY MONTH.
May 29, 2012 at 06:24 pm
Just hanging out - enjoying dinner and catching up. Throw in a good movie for extra fun.
May 29, 2012 at 06:21 pm
gossip and giggle and give good advice and console of course!
May 29, 2012 at 06:13 pm
I think my favorite thing to do is to sit around and relax with a few drinks, let our hair down and talk about and bitch about anything that is on our minds. It is great to catch up and feel better about life after getting things off our minds. My friends know that whatever they say stays with me and I know that whatever I say stays with them. It is a great way to purge our feelings and emotions while having a few laughs and maybe shedding a few tears.
May 29, 2012 at 06:07 pm
My favorite activity is to go shopping then lunch.
May 29, 2012 at 06:00 pm
A girls getaway w/life long girlfriends.. Priceless. A night of lol about girl talk over a pj party and a move. Definality falls under the priceless moments!!
May 29, 2012 at 05:59 pm

May 29, 2012 at 05:57 pm
i love to go antiquing with friends who so enjoy the hunt. listening to jazz, or dancing the night away is always fun with special friends, especially over a glass of wine. i really enjoy art gallery hopping with people who share my aesthetic tastes. shopping for clothes at a new boutique is always more interesting when done with close pals
May 29, 2012 at 05:56 pm

May 29, 2012 at 05:14 pm
After planning the weddings of my 2 daughters within 3 months of each other, I could definitely use a "Friends Getaway"! One of my "friends" also just completed her daughter's wedding so I know she could also use a getaway!! PLEASE!!
May 29, 2012 at 05:14 pm

My favourite activity with girlfriends is our bi- weekly Zumba class.it puts the fun back into our fifty plus bodies through the dancing and those little sexy movements! Oo la la!
May 29, 2012 at 05:09 pm
What a fabulous time me and my 3 girlfriends would have.
May 29, 2012 at 05:06 pm
We hang out together with our grandbabies
May 29, 2012 at 05:02 pm
No question, hands down -- it has to be weekend doubles tennis with my three partners. I can't even imagine the screams that would ensue if we were going to this resort -- which BTW looks fabulous!
May 29, 2012 at 04:52 pm
I have never been on a real trip/trip with just my girl friends over night.In fact,sleep overs were a thing we did as teenagers.It's been a long time since thenEverything in this giveaway sounds like the ideal thing to do and nothing what our male counterparts would want to do!We all love to get pampered and catered to.
So I guess my ideal dream getaway would be to go somewhere where we are catered to/pampered.Where we can spend our time not rushing to "get things done".for others.God knows we could all use it.
Overall our favorite activity is to go hiking and Colorado would be a great place to do that.Truely God's countryI'm sure.I am sure the views are breath taking and out of the way of the rush of the city.Another great way to relax!
Hope I win!
May 29, 2012 at 04:51 pm
sitting by the pool with a cold glass of ice tea laughing and talking.
May 29, 2012 at 04:48 pm
Doesn't matter so much where as what -- anyplace and anything where we can sit around, relax and LAUGH, LAUGH, LAUGH. What a wonderful break from the daily responsibilities and tensions.
May 29, 2012 at 04:47 pm
Shop, cook,eat,spa
May 29, 2012 at 04:46 pm
My girlfriends love to get together to share stories and mutual support, usually over wine and fine foods.
May 29, 2012 at 04:42 pm
Dinner and a movie has been a hit with us.
May 29, 2012 at 04:39 pm

May 29, 2012 at 04:37 pm
My favorite thing to do with girlfriends is to go hiking here in Santa Barbara. I also love to go out to dinner and cook dinner for everyone. AND go to the movies!
May 29, 2012 at 04:35 pm
What a wonderful idea!
Love spending time together, even if it is too much time passing inbetween gettogethers.
We would love the opportunity to enjoy this kind of leisurely fun together!
May 29, 2012 at 04:32 pm
A nice dinner out followed by a good concert.
May 29, 2012 at 04:24 pm
The casual chit chat with a cold one in a calm quiet place.
May 29, 2012 at 04:22 pm
I'm in a book club with some power-house women. We have been together for 10 years and we meet once a month. At first we read a book a month. That proved to be too much so we became the "non-book-club" - no reading required just sharing a good glass of wine and some treasured moments. Now we met every month but only read every three months. It's so great to do this... It enables me to keep in touch, keep my friendships going with women I really care about and might not find the time to do so otherwise. We've become more than a book club, we are there for each other; a support group, a fun evening trying on someone's blond wig, a new shade of lipstick, and always laughing and enjoying some great food that the hostess has prepared along with a good glass of wine. I truly treasure these moments with my girlfriends.
May 29, 2012 at 04:18 pm
Go to a good movie together or a good restaurant and catch up on what's going on in our lives and just unwind and relax and complain about our significant others who basically ignore our complaining so that AT LEAST we have EACH OTHER'S shoulders to cry on! We also DO try to enjoy ourselves and not take things too seriously! We ALL need girl time ONCE IN AWHILE!!
May 29, 2012 at 04:16 pm
Whatever we do, it always seems to center around eating - out to dinner, meet for lunch, drinks and nachos at our favorited bar........ Sitting and talking is a true pleasure for us, since we don't get to do it often. The food seems to keep us focused and looking at each other so that we can catch up.
May 29, 2012 at 04:09 pm
My favorite with the girls would be traveling :-)
May 29, 2012 at 04:06 pm
My favorite is to get away for a weekend. We are always planning something new and different!!!!
May 29, 2012 at 03:53 pm
just sitting around catching up.
May 29, 2012 at 03:46 pm
shop
May 29, 2012 at 03:42 pm
Love just getting together with friends and simply chatting it up about every topic under the sun. We just don't get to do it enough and winning this trip would be a dream come true!
May 29, 2012 at 03:42 pm
Just hanging out together, going to the pool/jacuzzi with some wine and cheese, watching girl TV, cooking together...texting when we aren't together. My special friend was my ROCK during a long divorce (just signed the papers today thank you very much!). I would so love to show my appreciation by taking her and our two daughters on a special FOF getaway.
May 29, 2012 at 03:37 pm
Lunch and shopping! What else??
May 29, 2012 at 03:35 pm

May 29, 2012 at 03:16 pm
Since we formed the P.E.O. Chapter of CL in Franklin, NC we have a large group of Sisters who give generously to the P.E.O. Foundation (Philanthropic Educational Organization for Women). Since 1869 women have been educating women and along the way we have developed our own fantastic friends/Sisters. There are three particular Sisters that I would take to the moon if I could because they are so dedicated to helping others, having fun whatever they do and giving back to the community as well as their other Sisters. The three I'm thinking of deserve a few days off with a lot of fun, elegance, shopping and dining. THey quite simply: THe Best
May 29, 2012 at 03:16 pm
Girls Nite Out!!!
May 29, 2012 at 03:12 pm
Anything we can find time to do!
May 29, 2012 at 03:09 pm
That is an easy question...we laugh all the time! We laugh at nothing and everything! We are all turning 60 this year and that is really making us all laugh because we can't believe it! We laugh with each other and at each other. Even if something makes us sad or cry, some how we end up laughing. We have been making each other laugh since our time in college. Aging will be a lot easier if I am laughing with my wonderful, loving, supportive friends!
May 29, 2012 at 03:08 pm
I would love to take my BFF on this trip
May 29, 2012 at 02:58 pm
Actually two of my best friends are my sisters and we haven't been able to spend time together because we live in different parts of the country. Our mother passed away 7 years ago and we don't have that anchor anymore. Now that our kids are about grown all (one 16 yr old nephew left with my little sister) it would be nice to spend some time for ourselves and rediscover each other since so much time has revolved around our children and husbands. The activities we usually do is cooking at family gatherings, a little site seeing and shopping. We are all in our 50's and raised our children and our mother was a big part of that. We all have wonderful memories of her and stories that we like to share. That's what we would like to do and there's another friend who would like to share in that too.
May 29, 2012 at 02:55 pm
Have dinner and talk and laugh!!!!
May 29, 2012 at 02:53 pm
I walk, exercise and window shop with friends.
May 29, 2012 at 02:49 pm
My favorite activity to do with my sister girlfriends is to have a spa day, especially while we're on vacation. The only drawback with that is we haven't been successful getting pampered at the same time due to the spa's appointment scheduling.
This girfriend getaway would be great for us, for I look forward to anytime we can all be together again to relax and celebrate our lives, to retreat and reflect on our 50 plus year friendship .
May 29, 2012 at 02:47 pm
love it Love it
May 29, 2012 at 02:42 pm
Me & my girfriends get to get together for a night out for dinner & drinks. Just some good time time of laughter & love between friends.
May 29, 2012 at 02:42 pm
My friends and I love to...in this order...get spa treatments...facials, massages, mani and pedi and body scrub treatments, so that we can look good when we go shopping, for new clothes to wear when we go to the movies and concerts. We are all empty nesters so now it's our time to spoil ourselves and have fun whenever we can!
May 29, 2012 at 02:41 pm
Talk, laugh, share!
May 29, 2012 at 02:40 pm
The last few years have been very difficut for me and my friends of 30 + years, including this last one. It would be wonderful to get away and enjoy eachothers company.
May 29, 2012 at 02:35 pm
as a mom my favorite activity to do with my friends is enjoy a little time away from my kids. I hate to say it but this mama needs some down time every now and then. Just getting together to talk makes life so much more enjoyable. So in a word: talk.
Thanks for the opportunity to enjoy some friend time. :)
May 29, 2012 at 02:33 pm
My college girlfriends, whom I met in 1978, make it a point to go away once a year to shop, drink, brush each other's hair, rub each other's feet, drink, eat, talk, and generally enjoy each other's undivided attention. It is AWESOME!
May 29, 2012 at 02:31 pm
Sitting on the beach and reading our own books or magazines and filling each other in on our thoughts. We like to do lunch and shop local specialities shops.
May 29, 2012 at 02:30 pm
walking & talking
May 29, 2012 at 02:23 pm
Drink wine and get massages!
May 29, 2012 at 02:19 pm
what could be better than spending time with your sisters, your very best girlfriends!!
May 29, 2012 at 02:16 pm
I have a great group of friends that love to laugh a lot! We can spend hours just talking and laughing!
May 29, 2012 at 02:16 pm
Does it really matter as long as we are together? We eat out, eat in, have some wine, laugh, talk, and just share our lives. To me, that is what true friendship is all about. When one of us cries, we all feel sad. It is a deep commitment to the well-being of each other.
May 29, 2012 at 02:15 pm
We Rent hpuses, bring something we love and shsre with eachother, sometimes it poducts, Art, clothes, we then hike, make dinnner and explore wwherever we are. Always a fabulous time had by all
May 29, 2012 at 02:15 pm
Just coming together and spending time catching up with each others lives. Have a sister party is what we call it. We cook, cook out and make drinks and just talk and talk and talk. Just enjoying one another. We laugh toather , cry together and heal together. I just love it!
May 29, 2012 at 02:13 pm
Laugh, talk, and share our beliefs and feelings. I might even substitute daughters and daughter in law as we have fun doing this too and the bond here can never be broken.
May 29, 2012 at 02:03 pm
I would substitute my adult daughters for friends. We love having "sleep overs", getting pedicures, eating out and laughing and talking and sharing memories of their childhoods. (Funny how the same incident is remembered a little differently by each of us!)
May 29, 2012 at 02:02 pm
Share our deepest feelings, thoughts, wishes and dreams and help each other realize them.
May 29, 2012 at 01:57 pm
A nice lunch with a glass of wine, a little shopping, a lot of good conversation over coffee. Ideal!!
May 29, 2012 at 01:52 pm
Just being in each others presence. Talking and laughing together.
May 29, 2012 at 01:50 pm
We get together every year for our "weekend away". We always plan to shop til we drop but instead we end up laying around, reminiscing about out old bf's, parents, teachers and just life. We live, laugh and love it up.
May 29, 2012 at 01:50 pm
Spending time together is the most important piece. We do enjoooy bike riding and other forms of exercise, cultural activities and dining out together.
May 29, 2012 at 01:48 pm
Drink wine and talk!
May 29, 2012 at 01:48 pm
This is my 45th high school reunion year - and we have been planning it - since the 40th! I still have many freinds from high school (yes - even the guys) and others who still live in town that have become friends since we graduated - we are a very close class. Whevener my dear friend from Napa CA comes to visit her mother here in town - we have an opportunity to get together - and we never get tired of talking about family, classmates, and the good old days. That is an acitvity we will never tire of!
May 29, 2012 at 01:48 pm
I have 3 special gal pals (aka my goddess sisters) that I have been friends with for many years. We get together periodically for dinners, theater; fund raising events, nature walks, birthday celebrations, etc but my favorite activity with them is an annual ritual held on the Sunday of the Memorial Day weekend (which has been titled as our High Holy Day Goddess Gathering) We recently gathered this past Sunday for the HHD; it was indeed a day of celebration/appreciation/sharing and lots of laughter; each year we gather delivers a memorable experience! I count myself lucky to have these 3 amazing woman in my life.
May 29, 2012 at 01:45 pm
Good ole catching up. We live in different states so when we get together it's like an explosion of excitement & joy. We drink wine, we swim, we dine, we talk, talk, talk, & feel the love & support that only true friends can feel. Thank you.
May 29, 2012 at 01:44 pm
Have a sleep over, talking about all of the good times we've shared with each other, (cruises and road trips) sometimes including a visit to a local casino.
May 29, 2012 at 01:40 pm
Travel, Food, Shopping and laughing & debating life's circumstances.
May 29, 2012 at 01:38 pm
Go out to eat
May 29, 2012 at 01:37 pm
getting away with them - for some 'no family' time ;-)
May 29, 2012 at 01:35 pm
Mature women have big shoulders. We take on the worries of our spouses, our children and our friends. We have depth and compassion, and we spend our days comforting, consoling, sharing, giving, joining, listening, and doing. We are here for each other, but we often lose ourselves. Just going off and laughing together is a healer. What better way to shed worries, add joy and connect than a get a way with three BFF's at a spa. THAT would be a favorite activity.
May 29, 2012 at 01:32 pm
Have a drink and talk.
May 29, 2012 at 01:31 pm
See above, as I typed in wrong place (under name).
May 29, 2012 at 01:31 pm
Mani-Pedi's are the best thing to share. Lots of conversation and great memories.
May 29, 2012 at 01:31 pm

May 29, 2012 at 01:19 pm
When we are all together, we love to eat, share cocktails and laugh til it hurts! We can make any situation hilarious. We share stories (even if we have heard them a 100 times) and just enjoy "being".
May 29, 2012 at 01:18 pm
shopping and dining
May 29, 2012 at 01:16 pm
Our Girl's Night Out group meets about once a month for dinner and lots of gabbing. We've had a few raised eyebrows for getting too loud but we just can't help ourselves, lots of laughter and fun.
May 29, 2012 at 01:16 pm
I love going to the Farmers market buying local produce ..good bottle of wine maybe some wonderful celtic music and going home and cooking a fabulous meal then kick back and enjoy good food conversation and company maybe throw a bit of wonderful ice cream into the mix with a good chick flick...

I have girlfriends from high school ... we have been great friends for 45 years! We meet for girl trips whenever we can (about every 4 or 5 years). We all are still in such good shape...physically and mentally. We just have such a great time...being together and talking about the fabulous times we have had together so many years ago, talking about our lives now, our families, etc. but mainly we discuss how much we have appreciated each other for so many years - our very special friendships. I would be SO thrilled to take them on this girls' trip...what a hoot that would be!!!!
May 29, 2012 at 11:52 am

May 29, 2012 at 11:20 am
I have some girlfriends who love to get together for a long chat over lunch.

My favorite thing to do with my girlfriends is to go to a luxurious hotel/spa and get pampered. Away from the stresses of our jobs and caring for our families including children and elderly parents. There are 4 of us (The Fabulous Four). That is the only way we can afford it, is to split it 4 ways! We haven't been away in 10 years so we are due. Please send us to Vail!
May 29, 2012 at 11:17 am
Every year my girlfriends( self named "Ya-Yas") from college take a trip together. Even though we graduated 35 years ago and live all over the country, we use this sacred time to stay connected and revitalize ourselves. This is right up our alley!
May 29, 2012 at 11:16 am
Because we all work SO hard and rarely take the time to relax TOGETHER other than grabbing a quick cup of coffee, spa days or weekend getaways are our FAVORITE way to really bond. No work, no husbands, no responsibilities - just girl talk.
May 29, 2012 at 11:14 am
My friends are my life. We go to movies together and have
a pajama party overnight.I would love to take them on a few days to be pampered. They deserve this
May 29, 2012 at 11:13 am
My favorite activity with my girlfriends involves anything BUT work discussions (or in my case school). Just talking with them is so relaxing and helps me keep things in the proper perspective.
May 29, 2012 at 11:12 am
I am so excited that my sister is moving back to California...now my two best friends, my sisters, and I will do cooking classes, dinners, lunches, and shopping together all the time. These will be my favorite activities because I am with my sisters who I love.
May 29, 2012 at 11:12 am

May 29, 2012 at 11:03 am
Wow! This sounds just lovely! I have to say the first thing that came to my mine with this being a Bavarian style lodge is Pastries! I am sure I will have my fill of eating wonderful pastries with my girlfriends! Second I see in the picture the wonderful pool! How relaxing it would be to sit around the pool until around 2 in the afternoon with my friends enjoying the sun and fresh air, and a wonderful lunch with wine of-course! Only to returns to our rooms for a quick relaxing break and to shower just to prepare for the wonderful hours ahead of us, shopping, seeing the sites and of-course more wonderful food and deserts for our evening meal! This is just the first day! lol, I would love to treat myself and my friends to a day at the spa too! I cold go on and on, all I know is I can already smell the fresh flowers from the wonderful garden where breakfast is served!
May 29, 2012 at 11:02 am

I will be 60 in a few weeks and am proud of it. It's a little disconnect for me because the number doesnt connect with how I feel. My girlfriends and I see each other almost every morning at 5:00 AM at spin or chisel. We like to ride, walk, talk and support one another. It has been difficult as my husband has been looking for work for the last 3 years. I cannot be more thankful for my girlfriends! This would be a great gift I could give to my girlfriends!
May 29, 2012 at 10:59 am
Love to decompress!
May 29, 2012 at 10:59 am
I have never went on vacation, I am a divorced mother of 4 kids, a nurse, I have worked hard all my life, have one daughter in college, the rest to follow when they are old enough, and I would LOVE to win a vacation for 4 to this resort! The details of this vacation sound so wonderful! Whom ever wins this, I am sure you will have a great time!
May 29, 2012 at 10:57 am
My best friends are my daughter & sisters. We love spending time together and remembering all the good times we had. They have really been my support system for many years, through my bout with cancer , my heart attack and now with the sudden death of my beloved husband. We can surly use some good time together, just hanging out and enjoying each other.
May 29, 2012 at 10:56 am
WE ALL LIKE TO GO TO THE CASINOS AND GAMBLE A LITTLE ONCE A MONTH.WE ALL SING IN THE CHURCH CHOIR TOGETHER, SO WE LOVE SINGING. WE ALL HELP OUT AT THE SOUP KITCHEN THAT OUR CHURCH RUNS(2 DAYS A WEEK) TO FEED THE HOMELESS(VOLUNTEER). AND WE JUST LIKE COMPARING RECEIPES. SO, IF I SHOULD WIN I WILL TAKE MY 3 OTHER SOUP KITCHEN HELPERS WITH ME. ESPECIALLY, THE COOK SHE REALLY COULD USE A BREAK.SHE JUST GOTOUT OF THE HOSPITAL FROM EXHAUSTION FROM VOLUNTEERING TOO MUCH AND NOT TAKING CARE OF HERSELF. SO, I AM PRAYING THAT I WIN TO TAKE HER AWAY FOR A DAY OR TWO.

May 29, 2012 at 10:46 am
My favorite activity with my girlfriends is talking and catching up on each others lives. We no longer live in the same cities. When we get together, it is like no time has passed. We stay up all night talking about spouses, kids, and our lives in general. Time and distance just fall away.
May 29, 2012 at 10:46 am
regular exercise & occasionall pedicures while catching up on events in our lives...then we go grab a bite to eat or drink & maybe run some errands or do a little shopping.
May 29, 2012 at 10:46 am
I love to go shopping with my girlfriends and then stop somewhere for dinner and a few drinks to just talk and hang out for the evening! I also love to go on vacation to the beach with my friends. We have a blast and talk about it for the rest of the year until the next vacation comes along! My friends and I have been in a rut lately though and could surely appreciate winning this trip to this resort and truly need the spa treatments so we can stop feeling frumpy! I'm sure it would help lift some of the depression I've been feeling for awhile now.
May 29, 2012 at 10:46 am
We love taking trips, cruises, and spa getaways. It is so
refreshing to take adventerous trips to places we have not been and this would be a pampered getaway for us.
We love swimming, spas, traveling to new places and just relaxing and sipping wine.
May 29, 2012 at 10:45 am

May 29, 2012 at 10:41 am
We love to laugh and share our lives with each other. We are all former local and state advisers for Family, Career and Community Leaders of America. This is how we became friends and sisters. We all live in different areas of Georgia. So state and national meetings were our way to stay connected. Now that we are retired, we do not have that opportunity any longer. This trip would be a great way for us to stay connected.
May 29, 2012 at 10:41 am
Talk and laugh.Then we shop and eat. If we don't shop and eat we do our nails.
May 29, 2012 at 10:41 am
I love to have lunch with them and talk, talk, talk!
May 29, 2012 at 10:40 am
We love to watch movies, cook, relax ... gossip and shop. My BFF's have been around for me to lean on the last few years during a particular time in my life where without them.. I would have been lost.. so that said they are just the best ever! It would be so terrific to do something for them!
May 29, 2012 at 10:40 am
We all love to exercise and walking give us time to talk, vent, laugh and workout in a multitasking world. We would all enjoy this girlfriend weekend!
May 29, 2012 at 10:39 am

May 29, 2012 at 10:35 am
Have drinks and good food, play bingo and dance!
May 29, 2012 at 10:35 am
We started a "bingo club" - Each month one of us will host bingo night - the hostess will provide dinner, drinks and snacks. Each member puts is $10.00 a month to our treasurer to save for out "gala dinner" in June (our bingo club runs from September to May)
Each game is $1.00 and .25 cents goes into a seperate container for the cover all a the end of the night. We have crazy rules like 3 wild numbers, etc. We catch up on who is doing what, who family member had a baby and work issues.
It give us a chance to enjoy a good meal with friends, have tons of laughs and win some money. Since there are ususally 10 or at the most 12 of us the end of the night jackpot is around $80 or $90.
Our December bingo is fun with gift swaps and our June gala has been held at Vidilia in Lawrenceville, NJ for the past few years. We sit outside at a long table, it a BYOB and we can stay as long as we want and be as loud as we want as we all laugh and have a terrific time.
Our members are from 30 years old to 75 years old.
May 29, 2012 at 10:33 am
We love to walk along the creek!
May 29, 2012 at 10:33 am
More than anything, I love to go to wine dinners with my girlfriends. Not only is it relaxing and enjoyable, but it's educational as well! There's nothing better than discovering a perfect wine and food pairing, but even when it's not perfect, it's fun to explore why the pairing doesn't work. Is the wine too acidic for the food? Does the wine overpower the food? Does the combination of the food and the wine create unpleasant flavors?
May 29, 2012 at 10:33 am
Shop, eat, and drink!
May 29, 2012 at 10:33 am
travel
May 29, 2012 at 10:33 am
Talking, drinking wine, walking the streets of New York, Green Flea Market in NYC. End the day with a pedicure and it just doesn't get much better.
May 29, 2012 at 10:32 am
Whether they are my sisters by birth, or satellite sisters because of friendship - just being in one another's company is the best therapeutic medicine that life has to offer - Long live SISTERHOOD!!
May 29, 2012 at 10:32 am
Lunch, especailly to see a couple of girlfriends that have recently retired.
May 29, 2012 at 10:32 am
I love to hang out with my girlfriends, have a cocktail, relax and gossip. It would be nice to pamper ourselves and have a spa day too.
May 29, 2012 at 10:31 am
get together and catch up - we just don't do that often enough. It doesn't really matter what we're doing, just having the chance to talk and laugh together is the best!
May 29, 2012 at 10:31 am
Just getting together for a few drinks to catch up and relax after a busy week is great for all of us. It has never worked out to go away for more than a weekend but that would be so wonderful!
May 29, 2012 at 10:30 am
Once a year we go to the beach and leave the world behind. We relax, enjoy each others company, talk about what's going on in our lives and give each other advise and opinions. We respect each others lives and love each others company.
May 29, 2012 at 10:30 am
Well, we call it book club. It's a monthly get together, at one of our homes. Drinks, appetizers, dinner, and dessert.
But the best part, altho our dinners are divine, is the gab and the closeness that it maintains for us. We are all members of a now defunct Jazzercise group. A close, fun group. We 6 refused to let go of our friendship so we created a monthly reason to get together and build on our relationship instead of lose it.
May 29, 2012 at 10:29 am
My favorite activity is shopping! It is so nice to leisurely stroll boutique stores with my favorite gal pals.

We have never been on a just for us girls weekend. We are all in our 60's now, and this could be our last chance to have so much fun with just us girls!! I usually get together with just one at a time to have dinner and drinks just chatting and catching up on each other's lives. It would be great if all of us could be together in one place at the same time!
May 29, 2012 at 10:26 am

When we can - about once a year, we like to have lunch, get a massage, facial or mani/pedi and drink a bottle of wine. We just aren't able to get together very often with so much going on in everyday life. My very best friend of over 35 years had a double mastectomy last year. She is my hero and I wish I could spend more time with her.
May 29, 2012 at 10:24 am
Just hang out drink wine, eat popcorn and talk or watch a chick flick.
May 29, 2012 at 10:24 am
We get together with glasses of wine and enjoy each other's company. We do not get to see oneanother often so just sitting, talking, eating with a nice glass of wine is so rejuvinating.
May 29, 2012 at 10:24 am
Lunch, dinner, a hike, a walk ... anything that allows for the conversations that are the best!
May 29, 2012 at 10:24 am

We have seen each other through life's challenges, as well as life's joyous moments. I would be lost without my girlfriends! We have not had the funds to all do a trip together in a long time. This trip would be a real God Send!

My favorite thing to do with my girfriends is to do a spa day. With all the stress in my life right now I can't think of anything better to do then to have a nice massage and be pampered a little. I think the world would be a better place if we could all get massaged now and then. I feel so blessed to have some wonderful girlfriends and because they've been so good to me I'd love to return their kindness and treat them to a spa day.
Thanks!!!!

May 26, 2012 at 03:08 pm
Talk, of course! About anything and everything. Nothing and everything is sacred, and all is safe. We laugh, cry, confide in, console, and inspire each other
May 26, 2012 at 02:32 pm
My group of girlfriends and I can do absolutely anything together and it is always fun. We just enjoy each other's company so a "job" never seems like work. We have sewed dance costumes, decorated and organized graduations and weddings, painted, wallpapered, etc., etc. When something fun or not so fun needs to be accomplished we just get together and get it done.
May 26, 2012 at 02:01 pm

Life is infinitely better with a good group of girlfriends!
May 25, 2012 at 05:30 pm
It would be nice to share this once in a lifetime opportunity with my girlfriends from past, present and make new memories. I can think of no greater honor than to share a trip like this with my friends. Life as you know, can be challenging you share good times and bad times with your friends that what friends are for. Although our lives have all taken different paths we still remain friends and support and care for each other.
Lot's of laughter lot's of tears but thru it all we have survived the years called life.
Let us share this opportunity to make new memories together as girlfriends.
May 25, 2012 at 05:16 pm

May 24, 2012 at 04:24 pm
My best girlfriends are my three sisters. We usuall try to go to the beach every year for girl's weekend. We haven't gone for awhile. This trip would be great for us as my one sister was in a terrible car accident, had numerous injuries, and was in a coma for two weeks. The doctors didn't have much hope. We never gave up. We sat vigil by her bed, and prayed for her recovery. She awoke from the coma, but still had a long way to go. She was transferred to a rehab where she received intense rehabilitation. She is a walking miracle now! She still has a long way to go. This trip would be a wonderful gift for my sisters, as they all did so much, and played a huge part in her recovery. Thank you!

I love to have tea at a tea room with my girlfriends, where we can all joke and talk and nibble and smile! It's a low-key but very intimate and relaxing way to catch up, share sadness and laughter, tell stories about the little events that make up the bulk of our lives, and finish our communion with tiny cakes and chocolate truffles.

We like to spend time together, talk, laugh, walk, and sometimes shop. Since we now live in three different states, we don't get as much time together as when we were growing up, so time spent together is precious!

I suppose you could say I have several 'favourite' activities with my girlfriends, and it would be very hard to choose just one. When we get together we love going to the beach, watching movies and eating lots of junk food, heading to the trails for a scenic walk or hopping on our bicycles and touring the trails and the city.
May 23, 2012 at 04:43 pm
My girlfriends and I get together at least once a month every month. Life gets so busy for each of us so we really value and cherish the hours that we spend together. We enjoy a variety of activities so we usually plan outing according to events that are happening in and around our communities (i.e, wine tastings, shopping, beauty events, etc). However, most of the time it's just girl talk over cocktails at a designated location (usually my house). During this time we laugh, cry, gasp, destress, and get caught up on each others lives. We all look forward to this monthly girls night out so much it's like a child counting down the days of christmas!
May 23, 2012 at 04:32 pm
For years we have celebrated each others birthday with a special surprise day. We plan a trip with a day of shopping, or a movie, or a play, or what ever we can come up with. What ever we do we always treat the birthday girl to a special lunch or dinner. Then its her turn to plan for the next birthday. We always have a great time spending the day together. We have very busy lives but we have made this a priority. It keeps us in touch.
May 23, 2012 at 04:32 pm

May 23, 2012 at 04:25 pm
Three of my girlfriends and I love to meet for dinner at our favorite restaurant to celebrate birthdays and other occasions. Those dinners can last for more than four hours, as we catch up on our respective children, spouses and men friends. Two of us are happily married to our original husbands, and the other two are divorced -- one for a dozen years, the other for five years. The ex-husband of one friend left her and their five young children for his office manager (he's an OB-Gyn). The other friend had an amicable divorce that she initiated. She and her ex remain friendly. We became close when we were new moms, 23 years ago and although our lives have evolved differently, we're closer than ever.
May 23, 2012 at 04:19 pm
As I live states away from all my girlfriends it would be heaven to get them together for a weekend of pampering It seems we only see each other once a year if that.

We're in ages from about 58 to 83. What an absolute "hoot" to go to a beautiful resort and spa. It would be an absolute "dream come true".
Thanks for the opportunity.

Just beigng with my Divas no matter what we do ... it is always the best medicine. We have been friends for over 20+ years. We have shared life's events... we have laughed, cried and laughed till we cried. We are always there for each other. Sadly, 5 years ago we lost one of our own, from pancreatic cancer. . . and it only confirmed the bond we have as we supported our dear one until the end and we toast her every time we are together. We have been in a Jeff Daniel's movie, travelled together, and many special dinners, family events, etc... but our favorite activity is just being with each other... playing dominos... laughing, talking and sharing what only a group of 50 something women can do best and that is loving life and our time together.
May 22, 2012 at 11:20 pm

I have a special group of friends...we call ourselves LNO (ladies night out) no matter if we meet at night or day. Favorite activity is a good hike/walk/snowshoe...that is full of laughter and chatter, followed by a bite to eat, something little to drink and more laughter, chatter and support. These women are amazing and I have benefited from their friendship. I would love to be able to treat them all to something so wonderful as this get-away. We are all so good to those around us, but tend to not carve out the time to reward ourselves.
May 22, 2012 at 10:45 pm
Best time ever, sit on porch, have a glass of wine, cheese & crackers and just chill!

The best times always seem to be the moments that just happen, when we find ourselves just sitting in the dark, sipping drinks and talking. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't trade the spa days or sobbing together over Grey's Anatomy-- but the best moments are the ones when we tell each other the things we never thought we'd tell anyone.
May 22, 2012 at 09:28 pm

Shopping.Quarter auctions
May 22, 2012 at 08:49 pm
We like to shop. Go to estate sales and garage sales on weekends. Have lunch at our favorite little restaurant. Just talk about things happening in our lives and about family. It helps to have someone you can share your good times and bad times. Taking a road trip on weekends, sometimes getting lost, but still having fun finding our way.
May 22, 2012 at 08:47 pm
My friends are also my sisters. Anything that the 4 of us do together is fun, exiting and a happy memory!

May 22, 2012 at 08:40 pm
One of my most favorite things I do with girlfriends is wine tasting and shopping! What style maven doesn't like this combo? The best opinion you'll ever get is from a trusted friend who will tell you to "take it off, it looks awful!"
(especially with a little wine under her belt!)
May 22, 2012 at 08:39 pm
We love going to Montauk, Long Island and walking the beach, eating out (of course!) and making sure we are sitting by the water with a cocktail at sunset -- in fact, every day is planned around sunset. Watching the sun goes down has become a tradition on these trips!
May 22, 2012 at 08:35 pm
Just being together to enjoy catching up. We can be hiking, having dinner or wine, see a movie, etc. It doesn't matter as long as we are together! What a hoot!
May 22, 2012 at 08:34 pm

My favorite activity with friends is just being together with no agenda, other than just spending time together sharing our experiences, joys and sorrows with each other. Life's lessons are a wonderful experience to share with dear friends.

May 22, 2012 at 07:55 pm
TALKING AND CONNECTING! I think with our busy life styles we forget to sow encouragment and love to one another! My goal would be to re-connect with my friends and up-lift their dreams and life purposes here on earth. I think that is what everywoman needs in their life!

Although our ultimate favorite pastime with my favoroite high school gal pals is drinking wine (....we discovered our mutual passion while planning our 30th high school reunion...) What we have come to find, is that we are all happy spending quite momments with each other..a.ble to be comfortable in silence, which is just as important as laughing, crying and sharing the initmate details of our lives
May 22, 2012 at 07:51 pm
Going to a spa and relaxing
May 22, 2012 at 07:48 pm
We love to go to Trivia night once a week. It is just the anticipation of being together and laughing, having fun, and just enjoying each others' company. Having close friends is a joy, and having regular "dates" to download and rejoice is a blessing!
May 22, 2012 at 07:47 pm
we love to read and study the bible
May 22, 2012 at 07:44 pm
Lots of love between us, so any night or weekend together is made special just because we are together, we live a distance apart, dinner/drinks laughs...giving each other support, great to have the relationship of girlfriends.
May 22, 2012 at 07:41 pm
Black Friday shopping. We get up at 1a.m., travel about 60 miles. Shop, have breakfast by 6 a.m., and we are done by noon, then it's lunch & home. We have the best time and get the greatest deals!

Mt girlfriends have meant to much too me, especially since I got hit by car when walking in crosswalk in Sept. 2011. I was on medical leave from American Airlines and this accident just made things worse. Lost short term memory. My girlfriends have emailed, called me and let me know they are there for me. The old saying, "You can chose your friends, not your family". We could shop, take walks, enjoy nature, have some wine too! Don't know when I can see them, soon I hope! You certainly know who your friends are after a disabling accident like mine, there are here with me spiritually if not physically. I love them!
May 22, 2012 at 07:38 pm
Spend time decompressing with great food, music and location.
May 22, 2012 at 07:38 pm

My Best Girlfriends and I get together once a month and either rent movies to watch at one of our homes or we go out and eat and then go to the theater. More food, Great laughs and other times, we have gone to the mountains to stay at one of our cabins. We have also taken a day trip or two to the Casino or to sight see in Washington state! I don't know what I would do without my three best friends!
May 22, 2012 at 07:22 pm

May 22, 2012 at 07:22 pm
When my mother was terminally ill, my girlfriend held me together! I couldn't have lived through her illness without them.
My favorite activity with my girls is massage, facials,good food and good wine. They deserve a present of gratitude from me!

May 22, 2012 at 07:06 pm
My girlfriends are all nurses so we have never been able to be off at the same time to do things together. This would be a first. We like other friends like to sit and chat, see movies, dine together, yes we fellowship well or should I say we try to. Discuss fashions,our kids, religion, and work.

May 22, 2012 at 07:00 pm
Vail in the summer is the best and I have not had a vacation in so long I can't remember. To giggle and laugh with my friends would be the best!

Each of my best friends have large active families but we have managed to visit one another across the many miles that separate us. Our visits are our favorite activity.
May 22, 2012 at 06:22 pm

I like attending festive and elegant events with my friends, from sumptuous banquets to fabulous TV award shows.
May 22, 2012 at 06:12 pm
My perfect day would be taking a long walk or hike in a beautiful outdoor area, then have a massage followed by a great dinner & drinks & talk.
May 22, 2012 at 06:12 pm
I love to travel with my friends. Traveling is a great way to relax and let your troubles take a back seat for a few days. Unfortunately, in with the economy being the way it is traveling isn't always as optional as what it use to be. It would be nice to just sit back and feel free for a few days and share a few laughs with friends and make new memories. Ahh wishful thinking....
May 22, 2012 at 06:10 pm
We love to play cards, go to wineries, and shop!
May 22, 2012 at 06:09 pm
very long lunches
May 22, 2012 at 06:09 pm
Since we live all over, and we don't get to spend much time together - just sitting and talking and laughing (and sometimes crying) together and catching up. We could spend our time over an umbrella drink or dinner, it doesn't matter as long as we can give each other a hug (in person) and have some quality time.
May 22, 2012 at 06:07 pm
Lunch together, texting to keep up with each others life, and of course phone calls when we can't see each other. Wish I could get together more often with out of state friends.
May 22, 2012 at 06:06 pm
When we get together we love to visit to "catch up", enjoy a nice meal, and shop! This trip would be wonderful as we are all turning 60 this year!
May 22, 2012 at 06:04 pm
Talk and catch up on everything, since we live a distance from each other
May 22, 2012 at 06:04 pm
Wine tasting
May 22, 2012 at 05:59 pm
My friends and I all live in different states so we only see each other 1 or maybe 2 times a year if we are lucky. When we do get together we love to catch up over a foofoo drink or 2. Then of course there is shopping and depending where we are penny slots at the casino.
May 22, 2012 at 05:59 pm
Go to a Ballet.
May 22, 2012 at 05:55 pm
We all have ADD so we celebrate our differences and boost each other up. Most often we like to do this playing cards.
May 22, 2012 at 05:47 pm

May 22, 2012 at 05:27 pm
Taking trips with your girlfriends to only places women can love, which always includes shopping.We can poke around,pause from it and go talk over lunch,take in a "girls movie",etc...Women usually don't take enough of these adventures together because they are taking care of their family.
May 22, 2012 at 05:22 pm
Laugh, love and honor our time together. Nothing better than girl time.
May 22, 2012 at 05:12 pm
Lunch and shopping! Wine and laughter...beyond that, since it's all about being together it doesn't matter what we do.
May 22, 2012 at 05:11 pm
We all knit, so we like to get away from the hustle-and-bustle of everyday life, by arranging a knitting trip. Once we settle in, we sit, knit, enjoy our Starbucks and leave life's everyday hastles back at home!
May 22, 2012 at 05:10 pm
Any time I am with my friends is a good time. We get together for dinner at least twice a month and catch up on all the latest family news. We telephone,e-mail,attend weekly bible studies together.Just knowing that if we ever have a serious problem...we have each others' back.
We are more than friends'...we are "Sisters!!!"
May 22, 2012 at 05:10 pm
Talking,laughing,solving the world's problem and of course shopping.

We love going to the movies, shopping, spas
May 22, 2012 at 05:06 pm
My girlfriends are my dearest treasure. The time we spend together is loud and fun and so precious. We love to travel, golf, ski, hike, discuss books, eat great food and drink plenty of wine! This trip would be the perfect getaway for us. Each year that one of us turns fifty we plan a fabulous trip for all of us.
May 22, 2012 at 05:06 pm
Cocktails and swimming!
May 22, 2012 at 05:04 pm

May 22, 2012 at 04:58 pm
Since my friends all live in different cities across the country, we try to have a yearly get together in someone's hometown, or a vacation spot and then eat, drink, sightsee and catch-up on each other's lives.
May 22, 2012 at 04:58 pm
Just a weekend,,,,ahh we could use a week..lol
May 22, 2012 at 04:57 pm
Favorite activity with girlfriends is just to sit around and talk. Sound boring? It's not!
May 22, 2012 at 04:49 pm
I would love the chance to just sit and catch up with my "Besties". Since I live in UT and they live in AZ, I don't get the chance to see them as much as I would like. My motto is: A friend is someone who knows you and loves you just the same.
May 22, 2012 at 04:47 pm
Our friendships have developed into a Sisterhood which we found through P.E.O. International in Franklin, N.C. P.E.O. is a Sisterhood which helps women reach their full potential with educational grants, loans and scholarships. Most of us had known one another for several years, but nothing could have prepared us for the friendships that with which we have been blessed, nor our commitments to others and women that we've never met.
In our own lives we keep our homes, take care of husbands, who in some cases are not well and never lose our senses of humor or dedication to the Sisterhood and one another.
The three women I would take are MORE than deserving due to their giving hearts and loving spirit.
May 22, 2012 at 04:46 pm
Every year before Christmas, we take a Friday off from work, pack into a mini-van and drive a couple of hours to the Outlets to do some shopping. We start off with our Dunkin Donuts coffe and lattes and talk up a storm until we reach our destination (or someone has to use the restroom). We map out our plans and pick a time and place to meet for lunch. Then back to shopping. Then we drive home and go to our favorite local pub for drinks and dinner. (Of course hubbies are home with the kids).
The next day, we try to sort through our stuff because inevitably, our purchases always mixed up! It's a wonderful day and we laugh more that day than any other!
May 22, 2012 at 04:45 pm
We love to go to wine tastings, dinners out, movies...and just hanging out with each other.
May 22, 2012 at 04:44 pm
I love to meet them for lunch and shopping. Just enjoy the time together. One of my favorite memories was from a conference we went to. One afternoon after the meeting a few of us went for a manicure, psdicure, and facial at the hotel spa. Afterwards we sat by the pool talked and laughed until late in the evening. It was refreshing and a wonderful bonding experience. You need good female friends to help keep life in perspective.
May 22, 2012 at 04:36 pm
Just being together! We could be hanging out, having dinner, playing board games, talking, drinking, just being together. It doesn't take much to make us happy and to have fun. We laugh, act silly and let our hair hang down. When I get together with my fellow breast cancer survivors we don't even have hair to let down! But boy do we have fun!! We support each other and are there for each other and that is what counts in life! Girlfriends rock!!
May 22, 2012 at 04:34 pm
Anything active and outdoors.
May 22, 2012 at 04:32 pm
My favorite things to do on a girlfriend trip is simply enjoy girl talk and company, SPAs & facials, shopping and site seeing. Good time to compare notes about life in general and to catch up with what's going on in our lives.
May 22, 2012 at 04:31 pm
Have a glass of wine and just let our imaginations take us to our favorite place!!!!
May 22, 2012 at 04:28 pm
I like to get together and have tea while we knit and have catch up on our busy lives.
May 22, 2012 at 04:28 pm
I have never taken a weekend away with girlfriends. I think it would be lovely and such a treat to leave my hubby and all my stresses behund for a weekend of fun and relaxation.
May 22, 2012 at 04:23 pm
My best activity to do with girlfriends is to travel to far away places . It's great to explore different cultures ,food, and costoms with people in fa r away lands. On several trips to Africa we had the oppornity to vist with kids in orphanages and schools. The exchange was both emotional and rewarding at the same time. We sort of play the roll of good will ambassadores on our travels. It is always so important to remeber to give back whenever and wherever we can.
May 22, 2012 at 04:22 pm
Spend a whole weekend ... AWAY ... shopping, dining/drinking and maybe catch a show!
May 22, 2012 at 04:22 pm
We love getting together for lunch but we do try working in
a bike ride or long walk.
May 22, 2012 at 04:20 pm

May 22, 2012 at 04:20 pm
Laugh until we cry!
May 22, 2012 at 04:19 pm
I either text or use facebook to visit my friends because they don't live near me.
May 22, 2012 at 04:17 pm
Going to the beach, or hanging out and enjoying a nice cold glass of sweet iced tea. My best friend has seen me go thru so much through out life and has been my rock I could lean on!
May 22, 2012 at 04:17 pm
Going for decadent ice cream sundaes after a day at the beach or shopping.
May 22, 2012 at 04:17 pm

May 22, 2012 at 04:14 pm
Site seeing is our favorite pasttime. We can be anywhere and have a great time together. That is a sign of true friendship! It has been a long haul. The last time we were all away was 6 years ago to NYC.
May 22, 2012 at 04:13 pm
Shopping, lunch and a pedi!
May 22, 2012 at 04:12 pm

May 22, 2012 at 04:08 pm
Just visiting and having a glass or two of wine!
May 22, 2012 at 04:07 pm
Chill and reminisce about our great memories that go back 40 years!!! So great to be friends so long, but we don't get together enough anymore - maybe every couple of years, yes YEARS!!!! Everyday Life gets in the way, and we really need time together!!!
May 22, 2012 at 04:06 pm
My best friend was my rock during a long and stressful divorce. I would love to say thank you by taking her and her daughter and me and my daughter on this trip.
May 22, 2012 at 04:05 pm
I love going out to eat with them!
May 22, 2012 at 04:05 pm
Raise some energy with friends by discussing our intentions and what we wish to manifest in our lives!

I would loveto get away and just giggle a lot
May 22, 2012 at 04:00 pm
This trip sounds like heaven! My girlfriends would be so thrilled to be able to escape to this fabulous resort in the Rockies!
May 22, 2012 at 03:59 pm
We cherish out "Women Nights Out." Our favorite activity is going out to eat. However, pampering ourselves at a RESORT would pretty much outshine all other activity, including eating!
May 22, 2012 at 03:58 pm
I love my ya ya's! They have been there for me marriage, divorce, an abusive relationship, surgeries, and child rearing. My favorite thing to do is once a year we literally put our feet in the gulf coast sand and kick aaway the thorns in our life. After this exhilerating excursion we sit for hours toasting, laughing and me especially thank the lord to be blessed with such a fantastic group of girlfriends.
May 22, 2012 at 03:58 pm
Eat out at a restaurant!
May 22, 2012 at 03:56 pm
Just sitting by the pool and being able to catch up would be so awesome, I have not been able to make any type of summertime or just good ol relaxation plans. Typically, when I am able to make a trip to Florida (where I grew up and most of my closest friends are), we usually spend much time at the beach catching up, window shopping, and having picnics. Now that I am out of school, and my budget is depleted, for the summer, it has been forecasted as pretty boring, thus far.
May 22, 2012 at 03:53 pm
GIRL TRIPS !!!!
May 22, 2012 at 03:48 pm
My friends and I enjoy shopping, eating out and going to the cassino together. We have been friends since high school. Our husbands are friends now.
May 22, 2012 at 03:48 pm
Running!!!
May 22, 2012 at 03:48 pm
Shopping of course. Doesn't matter where just as long as we are having fun.
May 22, 2012 at 03:43 pm
Caring and sharing stories of our lives as we go through the good times with our grandchildren,families, friends and the tough times with our aging parents. We are the sandwich generation but feel so blessed to have the young and old in our lives.
May 22, 2012 at 03:42 pm
everything!!!!!!!!!!!!
May 22, 2012 at 03:40 pm
The best is a day in the city which involved lunch, a play, cocktails, dinner and lots of walking and laughing. The city may vary but the fun, laughter and love does not.
May 22, 2012 at 03:33 pm
When I get together with my FOFriends, we love to eat desserts, shop Goodwill, and just be there for each other thru the good times and the not so good times. We all love to talk but my FOFriends are good listeners too! Oh, I just would really love to have this opportunity to make unforgettable memories with my bestests FOFriends a trip of a lifetime!
May 22, 2012 at 03:32 pm
My girlfriends and I love to explore new destinations. Mostly we have explored small towns off the beaten path, but would love to expore this part of CA!! Happy Summer!!
May 22, 2012 at 03:29 pm
Watch Bridget Jones, drink booze, laugh, snort, and bask in how fortunate we are to be together!
May 22, 2012 at 03:29 pm
Thrift stores, flea markets, cook, drink coffee, eat cake
May 22, 2012 at 03:29 pm
We love to go shopping at one of our favorite malls in metro Denver, then enjoy a nice cocktail, appetizers and some lively conversation! Really don't get together as often as we should, but it is always fun when we do!
May 22, 2012 at 03:25 pm
Relaxing and laughing over some good food and wine is a favorite for my friends and me.

When my girls get together we tell stories, laugh and just enjoy the fact that we are together and do not have to answer to any stinking' men. We revel in the fact that no matter how long goes between meetings we are always as close as we ever were.
May 22, 2012 at 03:19 pm
my girlfriends and I each year go for a spa and wine tasting vacation.
May 22, 2012 at 03:17 pm
I really need to get away and to take my best friends would be ideal. My husband and I rescued a two year old Airedale and he has been a challenge. A girls' retreat would bee soooo nice and a wonderful change of scenery!
May 22, 2012 at 03:16 pm
We love hunting through thrift and antique stores, swap meets and flea markets. We also love all things gardening and like to visit historic houses with gardens as well as work on our own yards. Lastly, we love to go out and have tea together at tea rooms.
May 22, 2012 at 03:15 pm
I would just love to go with my girlfriend and my mom :) it would be fun
May 22, 2012 at 03:10 pm

Kayaking the Eastern Shore's salt marshes and rivers followed by dining on in-season seafood and frozen Margaritas by picture windows with water views.
May 22, 2012 at 03:06 pm
My favourite girlfriend activity is volunteer work. I enjoy being pro-active - whether it means setting up a church bazaar, being a volunteer tutor in literacy, helping with therapy horses, or walking canines for the Humane Society, volunteering bonds girl friends and is so enriching.
May 22, 2012 at 03:06 pm
Love walking- we get so much good undistracted talking done when we go walking- the time is doubly worth it!
May 22, 2012 at 03:06 pm

Hanging out drinking wine and gabbing!
May 22, 2012 at 02:59 pm
Do I need a break? In last three years hubby has worked less than half of each of those years. That would mean, he's been home 24/7 for over 6 months each of the last 3 years! You BET I need a break, vacation, girl time...whatever you want to call it!
May 22, 2012 at 02:59 pm
Gathering over a great dinner out with lots of time to relax with good wine and enjoy our conversation is the easiest activity for me and my girlfriends. Doing so in a fabulous locale makes it just perfect!
May 22, 2012 at 02:57 pm
Enjoy great food and wine together.
May 22, 2012 at 02:56 pm
It's is hard to pick a favorite! We are a group of ladies who met during our college daze (!) and who now, over 35 years later, try to get together at least once every month or so. We have done movies, meals, plays, jazz concerts, game nights, and wine tastings. The most important thing is just the time together, to share, relax, and have fun.
May 22, 2012 at 02:56 pm
Just hanging out and catching up on each of our lives. We usually meet over lunch and drinks . For some reason we rarely get all of us together at the same time !
May 22, 2012 at 02:55 pm
I love making dinner with my gals, drinking wine, getting silly and then sitting down to enjoy the fruits of our labor.
May 22, 2012 at 02:54 pm
We love to eat and drink at our favorite downtown pub in Nashville.
May 22, 2012 at 02:54 pm
Thrift shopping! It's retail therapy without the guilt and there are some great buys, especially at consignment stores.
May 22, 2012 at 02:52 pm
shop, of course
May 22, 2012 at 02:51 pm

My girlfriend Penny and I like to go to the theater together; Margaret and I play bingo; Patricia and I go to Brunch; and Anne and I like to go out for Mussels! I would love to get all these wonderful women in my life together for a girlfriends weekend like this!
May 22, 2012 at 02:46 pm
We're Mah Jongg players, on a weekly basis; some of us have been together since 1968! I would love to win this for these sweet ladies...my friends who have seen me through joys and sorrows...gains and losses...but, as Elaine Stritch used to sing her song: And we're still here!
May 22, 2012 at 02:43 pm
We do lots of different things...but my favorite activity that we do together is LAUGHING!
May 22, 2012 at 02:42 pm
We enjoy fine dining, good wine, great conversation and pampering in a relaxing environment.
May 22, 2012 at 02:36 pm
we just get together at the beach or someones house. One group of girlfriends makes jewelry while we talk, the other group we just talk and enjoy each others company.
May 22, 2012 at 02:36 pm
Share chocolate, whether it be a facial, a chocolate massage or a chocolate martini at Hershey Spa, Hershey, PA
May 22, 2012 at 02:35 pm
Whatever we do together is my favorite! I am SO BLESSED to have such AMAZING FRIENDS in my life! I had no friends until 5th grade and I can still remember feeling so lonely and outcast and asking God to send me friends! I have been SO BLESSED ever since! I just attended the wedding of my oldest friend's son this weekend! HOW AWESOME!!!
May 22, 2012 at 02:29 pm

May 22, 2012 at 02:22 pm
My favorite activity is wonderful conversation over a tasty meal.
May 22, 2012 at 02:21 pm
We love to get together over dinner (or lunch) and catch up with each others busy lives. We compare stories about children and grandchildren, talk about trips we have taken or want to take, give and receive advise about hair and clothes and generally support and encourage each other.
May 22, 2012 at 02:21 pm

May 22, 2012 at 02:14 pm
Talking about nothing and everything!
May 22, 2012 at 02:09 pm
My girlfriends are my sisters and we get together once a year for laughter, shopping and just goofing around in a place between all of our towns in Wisconsin and Iowa. It would be a dream come true if we could get a distant get-away from the kids, grandkids and husbands...just for US! We love each other and stay close because of this weekend...please let there be more!
May 22, 2012 at 02:09 pm
Favorite activity is simply talking about the challenges we are facing in our daily lives. It's amazing how we can find common ground so easily and never want to go home once we get started.
May 22, 2012 at 02:08 pm
Walking on the wonderful 26 mile Green Circle - filled with beautiful green shade trees, fresh bark and wild flowers. Biking on the country roads near our homes. Ending the day with a cool glass of beer brewed at our local microbrewery. Sharing stories about our children/grandchildren.
May 22, 2012 at 02:08 pm

May 22, 2012 at 01:52 pm
i really enjoy antiquing and trying a new restaurant for lunch afterward. i love working out in pairs, perhaps a pilates class. working out with a friend always motivates me beyond my usual reps. lastly, listening to a set of jazz with a martini is a nice way to enjoy a cool evening under the stars.
May 22, 2012 at 01:52 pm
Honestly, not enough, we're all corrections officers and it is hard to find down time. We have very, very stressful jobs dealing with inmates, watching our own and each others back. This would be so perfect. Just to forget, and let go of the stress.
May 22, 2012 at 01:50 pm
Right now, we bike with each other, training for a 100 mile ride in early June.
May 22, 2012 at 01:50 pm
I love just having a meal and drinks and hanging out around the table, talking. Or hanging by the pool...
May 22, 2012 at 01:46 pm
Love to go on runs or walks followed by a nice glass of wine!
May 22, 2012 at 01:45 pm
Actually my best girlfriends are my sisters and cousin, all of us FOF working moms and all separated by great distance geographically. Favorite activity? That's easy! Talking. Now some might not call that an activity, but trust me, with this group of girlfriends it is. For talking, like any worthwhile activity, really talking well that is, takes focus, energy, time and effort. And what this particular activity returns to us all is well worth the investment. Our conversations are the most nurturing, healing, amusing, inspiring, and educational of my life, and dare I say theirs. Whatever's going on in our lives, we know we can share, empathize, support, laugh or cry about, or simply take in, all the news that's fit to print and much that isn't. When we're together this is our favorite activity, and the one we keep returning to no matter our age or life circumstance. It would be a blast, and a truly meaningful one at that, to converse together on a trip like this, to share much needed R&R at the Sonnenalp Resort, renewing connections to each other and ourselves—body, mind and soul.
May 22, 2012 at 01:44 pm
....what a wonderful, fun-filled, relaxing time such a get-a-way would provide!!!
May 22, 2012 at 01:44 pm
We like adventures and are up for anything. We like to have fun and realize that the very best moment in any long journey that makes your dreams come true, comes not on the day you realize they have, but on the day you realize how little they matter compared to loving the adventure they've inspired.
May 22, 2012 at 01:41 pm
I love time with my friends to catch up on what is going on. Shopping, snacking, talking and most of all laughing are some of my very favorite things to with my girlfriends! It's therapy at it's best!
May 22, 2012 at 01:40 pm
We meet for dinner at least once a month! Our schedules are all so different that it is impossible to count on seeing one another if we don't plan this monthly outing. We always pick the date for the next outing before we leave the restaurant. Its amazing how we all manage to make sure we plan to get there!!!!
May 22, 2012 at 01:36 pm
Hiking the beautiful trails in Colorado and enjoying the beauty of nature.
May 22, 2012 at 01:34 pm
We love to get together in a lovely setting--here in Southern California, it can be at the beach, at a spectacular outdoor park or garden, in our own gardens, or just a fabulous hang-out--share a splendid meal, enjoy one another's company and discuss the state of the world, the state of our lives, precious memories, and our hopes for the future. And, that's just the beginning...
May 22, 2012 at 01:34 pm

May 22, 2012 at 01:26 pm
We love wine, music and spicy sushi
May 22, 2012 at 01:25 pm
Great conversations while relaxing and sharing a good bottle of wine with dinner. Even better if we are on a weekend getaway and/or spa vacation!
May 22, 2012 at 01:25 pm
My 3 friends are really great. We meet when we can and have lunch, talk about present and past things in our lives, and with that we laugh, cry, teach each other with our thoughts, love and share our family occurances. We know that even though we are not there every day, we will always be there for each other no matter what the circumstances are, and when we meet its like it was yesterday, even if 40 years have gone by. I love them!
May 22, 2012 at 01:24 pm
It's hard to beat sitting around & talking about EVERYTHING but hiking together doesn't stop the conversation. We also, then, have the beautiful scenery to inhale & ground us.
May 22, 2012 at 01:24 pm
Getting together to catch up on each other's lives at a restaurant so nobody has to host - talk and eat, talk and eat, talk and eat!
May 22, 2012 at 01:24 pm
Eat, pray, and love!
May 22, 2012 at 01:20 pm
I love to eat, drink, shop and gossip with my friends!
May 22, 2012 at 01:20 pm
Fun Fun Fun
May 22, 2012 at 01:20 pm
My closest friends are teachers, and when we can, we get together for a dinner out. We provide support for each other in our personal and professional lives. This is our means of survival.
May 22, 2012 at 01:19 pm
I love to go to the spa with my girlfriends. Get all the goodies for face and body. Have a wonderful drink in our bathrobes with green goo on the face. LOL
May 22, 2012 at 01:18 pm
Wine tasting!
May 22, 2012 at 01:18 pm
What a great time for a group of friends, which would include my sisters for sure!
May 22, 2012 at 01:16 pm
We love the "beach" anywhere. We also have great slumber parties, love to eat good food and listen to good music.......

May 22, 2012 at 01:12 pm
dancing
May 22, 2012 at 01:11 pm
First of all we love to catch up with one another over dinner and drinks. We all seem to be so busy even though we should be taking life more slowly now that we are well over fifty. Yikes! We try to plan one trip together each year and have always said we would love to do a complete spa weekend. Maybe this is our chance?
May 22, 2012 at 01:11 pm
Since I've been on medical leave since early this year it would be great to spend some quality time relaxing with my close friends. Couldn't think of a better way to bring more joy into this year.
May 22, 2012 at 01:11 pm
Eat, drink and talk at a nice restaurant. If we have time, shop.
May 22, 2012 at 01:11 pm
My friends and I enjoy a warm evening ride on our horses and going horse camping. We enjoy going to Vegas and seeing a show. We adore girls weekends away at botique hotels and getting massages and other pamper treatments. We love the sun!
May 22, 2012 at 01:09 pm
Just one? Solve the problems of the world at coffee shops with open air, trees, babies, dogs, older people, homeless, amidst books, salad takeouts, trucks, cars whoozing by, and connect deep within via the heart's tendrils.
May 22, 2012 at 01:08 pm

May 22, 2012 at 01:06 pm

k
May 22, 2012 at 01:05 pm
love to hike with my besties!
May 22, 2012 at 01:04 pm
Since most of my BFFs are teachers I've worked with for over 30 years, I would say our favorite activity is to relax with a glass of wine and talk about where we've traveled recently or what books we've read. Many of us are in the same bookclub and see each other frequently. We're a very chatty bunch!
May 22, 2012 at 01:01 pm
Meet for a meal and talk, talk, talk.
May 22, 2012 at 01:00 pm
I have 3 girlfriends and we love to get together for dinner at least once a week. We did go on a short vacation to Savannah back in March, and we had a great time, shopping, eating, and ghosthunting! Please consider us for this wonderful trip!
May 22, 2012 at 01:00 pm
Tennis! Shopping, eating and gabbing is fun, too! :))
May 22, 2012 at 01:00 pm
We like to chill over a glass of wine and really share what is going on with each of us. A real healing session.
May 22, 2012 at 12:59 pm
We really enjoy each other's company so anything we do together is great fun! We especially like playing games while we catch up and visit!
May 22, 2012 at 12:56 pm
SHARE A LONG MEAL AND CATCH UP ON EACH OTHER.
May 22, 2012 at 12:56 pm
We play bunco together !
May 22, 2012 at 12:55 pm
To forget our cares, to relax and have a good time. To shop, hang-out, dining, spa, lounging. To do whatever we feel like doing.
May 22, 2012 at 12:54 pm
Would love to get away with my best girlfriends for a wonderful spa weekend!
May 22, 2012 at 12:53 pm
I have three dear friends from high school that I cherish! We have been friends nearly 40 years, despite each of us living in different cities on the east coast for most of our adult lives. We try to get together once a year or so to spend a long weekend at a seaside spot to catch-up, talk, laugh, cry, walk, dance and rejuvenate our friendship and our spirits! Our favorite activity is to walk and talk on the beach each morning, followed by an evening of dancing at a local dance spot! It would be a fabulous retreat for the four of us to travel for a spa vacation together! Please consider us for this incredible prize!
May 22, 2012 at 12:52 pm
enjoy the spa
May 22, 2012 at 12:50 pm
Enjoy the pool, food, drinks and forget everything else. Sounds like heaven.
May 22, 2012 at 12:48 pm
My favorite activity that I do with my girlfriends is shopping, folowed by dinner with a few glasses of wine at which time we catch up with whats going on in our lives. The icing on the cake is when we express what we are grateful for in our lives. We do this last because we always have grievances, complaints and dissapointments to acknowledge .... that's life but we are mindful of the fact that no many what we go through ... we comeout victorious. We are all old enough to have exprerienced the loss of loved ones so we are very mindful of the fact that is a blessing just to be able to inhale and exhale! What a blessing to be alive! :)
May 22, 2012 at 12:45 pm
drinking a glass of wine and just talking.
May 22, 2012 at 12:43 pm
We meet to go to Bruce Springsteen's concerts. We laugh, we cry, we dance.
May 22, 2012 at 12:42 pm
Wow.., what can say I would love to do this.. what a dream..!
Would want to share this with lifelong friends that are all in different places and more importantly my daughter as well..
Woohoo!! Girl power - the strongest bond that women can have - GIRLFRIENDS!!
May 22, 2012 at 12:36 pm
My friends and I, a group of 7 do our best to get together every Fri. At 4:30 for coffee and catching up. Each week there are at least a couple of us who are there and I look forward each Fri to that special time.
May 22, 2012 at 12:36 pm
When we have some time to share heart-to-heart about our lives, where we are going, those deeper conversations that women can have where we look at our lives from a wider perspective.
May 22, 2012 at 12:36 pm
My favorite thing to do with my girlfriends is taking our road trips through small town America. We have had so much fun and have met so many wonderful people along the way. And, it's really true.....it's not about the destination, but the journey to get there! I love you J and T!!! Where to next?
May 22, 2012 at 12:36 pm
Tiny bubbles in the wine, make us happy, make us feel fine.
May 22, 2012 at 12:35 pm
Lunch. Lunch and more lunch. Oh and some shopping too.
May 22, 2012 at 12:34 pm
Favorite activity is to come together once a week (or more often if possible) and VENT! We are able to share anything - good, bad or ugly and know we won't be judged. We support, advise and just love one another. We pray, laugh, cry and pray some more. Just to get away and escape if only for a couple of days would refresh our lives and rejuvenate our souls.
May 22, 2012 at 12:33 pm
mani pedi and eating out
May 22, 2012 at 12:32 pm
We love to shop -- including flea markets, yard and house sales. Don't always buy-- just reconnect and visit, catching up because we are all so busy with family and work. Saturday or Sunday mornings are perfect because then we might have time for lunch! What's better than good freinds and good food?
May 22, 2012 at 12:32 pm
Spa all the way. Facial, & massages and of course a cocktail afterwards
May 22, 2012 at 12:31 pm
I am 61 and my girlfriends and I grew up together. We all live in different places but manage to get together for little outings. Our favorite this is probably just laughing but our last trip to Moab to float the river and hiking and hummer trip was probably the funnest. We love new things and great food.
May 22, 2012 at 12:30 pm
Playing May Jongg & talking & laughing...
May 22, 2012 at 12:27 pm
Laugh until I begin to consider wearing Depends on these outings!
May 22, 2012 at 12:27 pm
Just hanging out, dishin the dirt with a couple of cocktails. As long as my girls and I are together, it's always all good. ;)
May 22, 2012 at 12:26 pm
Hang out at the beach, drink wine, and share stories!
May 22, 2012 at 12:25 pm
go to the theater
May 22, 2012 at 12:19 pm
Dinner, wine and conversation after an afternoon at the spa getting whatever we need such as a facial, mani or pedi.
Oh my, what a happy group we would be if we coud get away and have some free time away from the stress of work and volunterism.
May 22, 2012 at 12:17 pm
Shopping and swimming .
May 22, 2012 at 12:17 pm
We go out to dinner after our bible study at church and laugh and laugh! Enjoying each others company!
May 22, 2012 at 12:15 pm
travel
May 22, 2012 at 12:15 pm
We explore all options of life, laugh, cry, expound on life the knowns and unknowns. We KNOW we have traveled together many lifetimes nurturing and supporting each other through our many different experiences here on earth.
My girlfriends are truly my soul sisters. Astral travelers growing and evolving into loving and compassionate beings. We also have the best time laughing at life and the people in it. All of us could have made great stand up comedians.
May 22, 2012 at 12:13 pm
I cannot think of a better way to bond with my friends. This would be absolutely fantastic. We could have the unbelievable experience of a georgeous resort is a remarkable location, eating and enjoying the spa, shopping and relaxing without a care in the world. Magnificent!
May 22, 2012 at 12:12 pm
Go out to eat, relax and talk about family and good old times
May 22, 2012 at 12:12 pm
We need a trip for sharing, swearing, caring, supporting and cavorting.
We used to get together often, but it's been over a year since the four of us have gathered together. What a great trip to take with some tried and true, deserving friends.
May 22, 2012 at 12:11 pm
my favorite thing to do is go to spa and get the full treatment, then have dinner together and when finished rretire to room and recall some pleasant memories before saying good night
May 22, 2012 at 12:11 pm
We taught together, retired together, and now we meet at our created book club monthly. We also go to movies, plays, lectures, and laugh together!
May 22, 2012 at 12:11 pm
We love to dine, movie, talk, shop, walk, theater & spa & talk again. We all work hard so we need to play hard...More often!
May 22, 2012 at 12:10 pm
My BFF and I love to go shopping in consignment shops, antique shops, thrift stores and yard sales. It's like a treasure hunt and it gives us quality one-on-one time to talk & talk.
May 22, 2012 at 12:10 pm
Two years ago, four of us reconnected from our junior high and high school days via Facebook. Living in MA, FL and CA, we planned for a four day "Spa Reunion" long weekend at Jill's house in CA. We named ourselves the "Fab Four" and then became the "Fab Five". Up to the weekend, we emailed daily to catch up on each others lives from the prior 35 years. I made up T-shirts and mailed them to each friend prior. We all showed up in CA with gifts for one another and hung out poolside and laughed, stayed up late, went through so many bottles of wine. Marisa did our nails as she was once a nail technician and Jill had spa kits made up for each of us. Was so much fun, we moved the next reunion that Christmas to MA. And we are deciding where and when the next one should be...Vail would be FAB for us!
May 22, 2012 at 12:07 pm
We love to drink margaritas on the screened porch, talk, laugh, listen to music, and play cards.
May 22, 2012 at 12:07 pm
Eating out and just visiting while we have a long, leisurely meal!
May 22, 2012 at 12:06 pm
Just being together and remembering.
May 22, 2012 at 12:05 pm
I don't even have three friends, never mind three over 50.
But just to get away would be great since the past 2 years have been terrible caring for my end stage cancer husband. I'd take my one friend and her friend along if I win. They are both 45.
May 22, 2012 at 12:05 pm
hang out at the pool in the summer, go out to lunch, take glasses, help each other out, chit chat and everything else we can fit it.............. NEVER had an opportunity to have a spa getaway tho, WOULD LOVE TO! :)
May 22, 2012 at 12:02 pm
The favorite activity that my girlfriends and I do is hiking in the mountains. We have hiked in the Himalaya and will be hiking the Inca Trail in August. Locally we hike mountain trails and trek up some of the 14,000' peaks in beautiful Colorado!
May 22, 2012 at 12:02 pm

I would adore the girls getaway trip.I am so excited for the opertunity to getaway and have some fun. Relaxing while being pampered by spa treatments sounds like just what I need ,I have been widowed & recently lost alot of weight and I'm looking forward to starting a new life and this vacation would be a great start
May 22, 2012 at 12:00 pm
I would Love..Love...Love to spend this mini girls trip with my three favorites. My Mom will definitely be one of them whom I love dearly and only get to see once or twice a year. A relaxing cocktail with a mani pedi rank up there as a favorite activity along with good conversation and shared experiences.
May 22, 2012 at 11:57 am
Chit chat with a cold drink while lounging in an incredible setting outside.
May 22, 2012 at 11:55 am

May 22, 2012 at 11:55 am
Enjoy celebrating our 50th birthdays together (a year late)! hanging out at a spa was our choice for our 40th birthdays...lounging at the pool, getting in a game of golf and eating healthy choices at the spa restaurant!
We haven't been able to get together due to rising costs of college tuition that we are trying to all help our children out with....can't swing a fun getaway and this! Would love to surprise my long time friends with this fantastic gift!
May 22, 2012 at 11:55 am
Sunbathing, Talking/Laughing & Wine! or Shopping, Talking/Laughing & wine! Wine goes with everything! Just would like to get together with the 3 other " Ya Ya's" again, as one of our group moved to North Carolina, and one is in northern Illinois-so we can't see each other as often as we used to! : (
May 22, 2012 at 11:55 am
We love to do two things. My one girlfriend and I travel the world. The other 2 love to join me for dinner to hash over all the latest news and plan for our "best selling book about life and lust in our town, that will become a made for tv movie..."
May 22, 2012 at 11:55 am

It would be a blessing if my friends and I - aka, The S.L.U.T.S. (Southern Ladies Under Tremendous Stress) won this Girlfriends Getaway. We have weathered several severe "lifestorms" this year - during the 1st Quarter of 2012! Our lifestorms range from the demise of parents, health issues, career reinventions, and the list goes on! We could really use a break to prevent any of us having breakdowns. To visit the Vail mountains would give us an opportunity to take in a breathe of fresh air and clear some of the cobwebs out of our minds, bodies and soul. This Girlfriends Getaway could instantly change us into new S.L.U.T.S. (Southern Ladies Up To Something!)
May 22, 2012 at 11:51 am
We live in different states, and with work and obligations, this would be a great way to be together and connect again. especially since one of my bff's is my daughter. They all deserve to have this time, and I would treasure it forever!
May 22, 2012 at 11:50 am
My Sister, which is my best friend, lost her love of her life, her husband, at age 67. My other two friends and I started making craft projects to sell at flea markets to keep her (my Sister) occupied. My friends had never met my Sister before. My Sister, my two and I, began spending the weekeds together scrapbooking, garage sale shop'n and making crafts to sell. We "four" have become very close. I would love to treat them to a Faboverfifty Spa. One friend is only 54 and has had a "Poodle Perm" for the past 15 years. She never smiles in photos because of her bad teeth, but when the four of us are together, We are always smiling and laughing. She definitely would love to be treated to a Spa, as she works very very long hours, but always takes the time to spend with my Sister.
May 22, 2012 at 11:48 am
We laugh, celebrate, support, shop, commiserate and enjoy each...in alternating order as the suituation requires. Knowing we can count on each other...no matter what...is a blessing!
May 22, 2012 at 11:48 am
My girlfriends and I dream of a spa day, without work issues and kids, to just chillax.
May 22, 2012 at 11:48 am
Go out to eat and shopping and relax by the pool
May 22, 2012 at 11:47 am
I sing with some, do yoga with others and ride horses with a few and dance with some, too!!! I love my girlie friends!
May 22, 2012 at 11:47 am
TO VISIT GOSSIP AND CATCH UP ON EACH OTHER'S NEWS
May 22, 2012 at 11:45 am
We love to get away for a weekend just to relax on the beach. It can be as far away as St. Thomas, or as close to home as Virginia Beach. A couple of great dinners, a little shopping and just sitting by the ocean restores my soul as well as my girlfriends.
May 22, 2012 at 11:44 am
Gossiping and complaining about our weight as we drink and eat too much!
May 22, 2012 at 11:43 am
Having lunch or dinner together and going to a "girlie" movie is our favorite activities but would love to include "spa treatments" at Sonnenalp Resort in Vail to the list! :)
May 22, 2012 at 11:43 am
my favorite girl activity is just hanging out, having a nice leisurely meal and talking. "it's a girl thing".
;)
May 22, 2012 at 11:42 am
To be honest we love to sit around and enjoy each others company no matter where we are.
May 22, 2012 at 11:42 am
I hardly ever get to do things with my girlfriends as we all live in different areas. When we do get together we visit, talk about old times, children and grandchildren, have a few cocktails etc.
May 22, 2012 at 11:42 am
Sip wine, catch up and just BE!
May 22, 2012 at 11:42 am
laughing- we laugh a lot when we are together
May 22, 2012 at 11:40 am
My very best friend and I love to go once a year to a spa in Chicago. We save all year for the opportunity to be pampered! It would be so fun to go to a new place with a couple of other friends and relax.
May 22, 2012 at 11:40 am
My favorite thing to do with my friends is to go to a nice restaurant & enjoy a great meal together.
May 22, 2012 at 11:40 am
We love to chat and discuss what is going on in each other's lives and in the world. So important to stay connected and gain a different perpectives on issues. Would love to have a getaway and get together! Something we just never get around to doing.
May 22, 2012 at 11:40 am
Dining out.
May 22, 2012 at 11:40 am
Laughing, Lunching, Shopping, and Enjoying our time together.
May 22, 2012 at 11:39 am
We are professional artists-- what we do together as friends is applaud each success, defray each disappointment.
May 22, 2012 at 11:39 am
I most enjoy spending time relaxing and catching up with friends.
May 22, 2012 at 11:38 am
talk about aging
May 22, 2012 at 11:38 am
Long lunches, lots of laughter, and sharing our lives with each other.
May 22, 2012 at 11:36 am
Would love to win
May 22, 2012 at 11:34 am
I would take my sisters, or daughters, or a mixture of both.
May 22, 2012 at 11:34 am
Go out to eat.
May 22, 2012 at 11:34 am
Our favorite activities include everything this FoF weekend promises. We have never all had the means to enjoy all that during one weekend -- especially in such posh surroundings.
May 22, 2012 at 11:33 am
My favorite thing to do with girlfriends is just talk and spend time with them, usually over wine and some relaxation. I always say that girlfriends are kind of like old dogs we wag our tails and act like it's only been days since we've seen each other rather than years in some cases, like we haven't missed a beat!
May 22, 2012 at 11:33 am
Dinner, drinks lots of good conversation and laughing with my girlfriends we have the best times together.
May 22, 2012 at 11:33 am
My best friends are my four sisters. We don't have much money, but we love to do the simple things like hike in the mountains, go on picnics with our children, go to community theater, and just plain old talk to each other.
May 22, 2012 at 11:32 am
Brisk walks along the Delaware River for good exercise and great conversations in a beautiful setting.
May 22, 2012 at 11:31 am
Sit outside on a beautiful day, drinking a cold glass of wine while nibbling on yummy little appetizers and talking and laughing! and of course being a little silly all while solving all the problems of the world!!
May 22, 2012 at 11:29 am
We celebrate each other's birthday. The birthday girl picks a restaurant (no dishes or prep) and we show up with a special place mat and napkin for the honoree, along with a special wineglass for each of us. There are party favors and gifts, but the real purpose is make sure that we celebrate our friendships regularly.
May 22, 2012 at 11:29 am
We support each other emotionally-- no one is better at quickly finding out what we've each been through lately and hearing all about it! Maybe we make suggetions, maybe not- just knowing each other is there listening is enough sometimes. We got to know each other because our husbands formed a study group together as professors, but we quickly became close fast friends and have stuck together through funerals, illnesses, learning problems with children, and joyous weddings and graduations.
May 22, 2012 at 11:29 am
This would be a dream come true
May 22, 2012 at 11:29 am
Oh My, what a wonderful getaway. The getaway will give us a great time to share our thoughts, our problems, our happiness, and just be together. We will walk, talk, eat and fellowship together. We can never stop gabbing and laughing. We love to be outdoors, as summer is so short. Just being together, gives a special closeness. We treated ourselves to good time not very often. It would make me so happy if I could be the one to share such as a fabulous trip and fellowship with them.
May 22, 2012 at 11:28 am
My best friends all live in other states so when we are together, which is not very often, we just spend the time enjoying each other's presence...talking and laughing. One of us has ALS and has lost her ability to speak, so just seeing her smile, and being with her is special.
May 22, 2012 at 11:26 am
mani-pedi
May 22, 2012 at 11:25 am
Talk, laugh, sip wine, laugh some more, come away renewed and refreshed.
May 22, 2012 at 11:24 am
We have Pot Luck dinners and talk, talk, talk.
May 22, 2012 at 11:24 am
Since we live in different towns and states our favorite thing to do is communicate via phone, e-mail and texting. We all meet while working together in Jacksonville, Florida. We each had two daughters around the same age, our husbands worked crazy hours, so we hung around together doing things with our daughters, bonding. I was a transplant from Texas, while my girlfriends were from Florida, we bonded on everything from work, kids and home life. About 14 years ago I moved to Ohio and another moved to Georgia. We haven't seen each other since, also because of work, kids, etc. My husband was called up to active duty after 911, and just retired this past March, and finally returned home. We have had a wonderful reunion these past couple months. Now I would love to have the same reunion with my girlfriends, who I've missed terribly!! We are all older, wiser and so much younger in our hearts!!
May 22, 2012 at 11:24 am
There are four of us, dubbed the Steel Magnolias, for as in the movie, we have all gone through a lot and been there for each other. Three of us lost our spouses, one suffered through breast cancer, we all went through losing our parents together. But we also have gone through the joyful moments of seeing four marriages, children and grandchildren...recently there has been some distances between us...especially me. I moved 2000 miles away. The only time we can "get together" sometimes is through phone calls. Even that has become difficult, as one friend moved 60 miles from the other two. It would be a wonderful blessing to have 2 days that the 4 of us can just be together and relax...with tons of time to share and care!
May 22, 2012 at 11:24 am
Talk Talk Talk...
May 22, 2012 at 11:24 am
My girlfriends and I love to fix up a pitcher of lemonade, kick our shoes off and canvass, canvass, canvass! We phone bank to organize neighborhoods, fund-raise, inform folks about elections, events and just chat with folks in the area. It's amazing what kinds of interchange go on about social security, local politics and the wars wherever.
May 22, 2012 at 11:23 am
We love to have spa getaways.
May 22, 2012 at 11:23 am
The FOF girlfriends I would invite on this getaway would be my sister, mom (whom I am so fortunate to have at 87!) and sis-in-law. Since the four of us live east coast, west coast, and in between, just being together in a beautiful place would be heavenly. I would be so grateful to win this for them!
May 22, 2012 at 11:22 am
Occasionally we meet after work to have a drink and catch up. Also, try to get away for a few days just to have girl time to site see, shop, try different restaurants, etc.
May 22, 2012 at 11:21 am
We like to take the day off work, pack a lunch and go garage saling.
May 22, 2012 at 11:21 am
morning yoga, walk, read, picnic dinner while listening to classical music at Tanglewood... and an ice cream sandwich.
May 22, 2012 at 11:21 am
My favorite activity is to walk and talk! I love going out in the sunshine for a refreshing walk or hike with a precious FOF girlfriend. While we are walking, we solve our most pressing problems, figure out a way to fix the global economy, end all wars and plan a healthy dinner for our families. Yes, a spa day (or two) would be a most welcome change to our routine :)
May 22, 2012 at 11:21 am
Favorite activity - weekend getaways. Sometimes we go to the casinos (three hours away) or go to the Gulf Coast (8 hours away).
May 22, 2012 at 11:21 am
My favorite activity with my girlfriends are hanging out and having wine, or chilling at a beach, or a night of dancing (which happens every solstice.) We pretty much don't plan anything specific other than getting together to laugh and laugh and laugh!
May 22, 2012 at 11:21 am
talk talk talk talk talk...sharing life's adventures and mishaps.
May 22, 2012 at 11:20 am
Shopping, dinig out,lying by pool
May 22, 2012 at 11:19 am
My hubby doesn't want to travel! Would love to go with girlfriends to Vail! My favorite activity would be to gather and eat, walk, talk!!!
May 22, 2012 at 11:16 am
We are all in different cities: Philadephia, Boston and Pittsburgh so when we get together we dress up, sip wine and TALK and LAUGH and then laugh some more!
May 22, 2012 at 11:16 am
Just finding time to be together, sipping wine, catching up, laughing and sharing.
May 22, 2012 at 11:14 am
Hiking, hanging out, pedicure/manicure days, lunches, bowling
May 22, 2012 at 11:13 am
My favorite thing to do with my very best girlfriends is -- be myself. Of course, we have a blast shopping, eating and traveling together, but my top No. 1 girlfriend activity is shedding that strong-women-don't-giggle exterior that gets me through my professional work day. When my special group of FOFs gets together, I can feel my body physically relax and my mind mentally clear itself of deadlines and meetings. These women love and respect me for who I am, whether I gain 5 pounds, forget to get my roots retouched or say the wrong thing at the wrong time. And returning the favor just makes it better.
May 22, 2012 at 11:13 am
beautiful day great hike chatting all the way
May 22, 2012 at 11:13 am
Lunch and shopping!
May 22, 2012 at 11:13 am
Traveling together has become more possible these past five years, and my girlfriends and I have found a whole new experience to share in doing so. 'Girls Only' trips have brought many of us back together from miles apart and many years of separation due to family, children, work and life in general. And we continue to make new friends who we add into the mix as well. Even if it doesn't involve leaving the State or US, getting out of the average day brings out the best in us and makes us appreciate the fact that we are still vibrant, exciting women with vast interests and hopes for the future who aren't ready to settle for average or hum-drum lives.
If we can't travel, we girlfriends enjoy sitting outside when the weather permits drinking some wine and sampling some wonderful patio food while we catch up talking about current events, our children, our spouses (if there are any) movies, books, our dreams and what-ifs and when we can get together again. Mostly we just enjoy each others company for as long as we can and as often as we can. Our families are all important to us, no doubt, but there is someting very special about having other women around for comfort, security and support, and that is what being a true girlfriend should be at any age.
May 22, 2012 at 11:12 am
I love to spend a relaxing afternoon with my friends at the pool--sun, cocktails and great conversation!
May 22, 2012 at 11:12 am
Just being together, laughing, chatting, laughing, eating, laughing!
May 22, 2012 at 11:12 am
Shopping, lunch, cocktails, long swims at the pool, you name it!
May 22, 2012 at 11:11 am
We love to sit on a balcony overlooking nature -- whether the ocean or green pasture and say one word occasionally to make the other friend laugh. all it takes is one word.
May 22, 2012 at 11:11 am
talking and laughing over good food and drinks is the best
May 22, 2012 at 11:11 am
Lunch, dinner, spa treatments
May 22, 2012 at 11:11 am
Shopping, more shopping, and a little more shopping.
May 22, 2012 at 11:11 am
Talking about our lives, generally catching up with each other.
May 22, 2012 at 11:11 am
Spending leisurely time chatting together over drinks and a meal and seeing a show or concert together....and when
we can afford it, shopping together
May 22, 2012 at 11:10 am
I love all the girly stuff especially chatting, sharing, cooking, supporting each other...I also love shopping with friends.
Spa sounds really good!
May 22, 2012 at 11:10 am
Love going to the movies with a group of friend to see a "chick flick".
May 22, 2012 at 11:10 am
My favorite activity to do with my girlfriends is sharing a great meal and conversation.
May 22, 2012 at 11:10 am
Dinner, movies, popcorn and wine.
May 22, 2012 at 11:09 am
We do a periodic weekend finding great places to eat, places explore and always looking for a neat destination and then we blog about it! This would be AMAZING!
May 22, 2012 at 11:09 am
My girlfriends & I need to get away. What a wonderful dream
May 22, 2012 at 11:08 am
Go out for dinner and drinks
May 22, 2012 at 11:07 am
We love to walk!
May 22, 2012 at 11:07 am
I Love to travel with girlfriends! There is never a fuss over directions and we get to seek out new and exciting places to eat and drink and shop! What could be better?
Going to Vail would be better since we have never been there!
May 22, 2012 at 11:06 am
Relax with good wine and food.
May 22, 2012 at 11:05 am
We don't get together often enough, but when we do it's usually over cocktails [sometimes with food] and we discuss EVERYTHING! Spa treatments would be heavenly.
May 22, 2012 at 11:05 am
Dear FOF,
A bunch of Chi Omega Sorority sisters from the 1960's at our beloved University of South Carolina meet monthly for lunch. We laugh heartily (eat heartily, too, but not so much as we did when young, which is good!) and sometimes cry.
We began seven years ago when one of us lost her son in an automobile accident. She said that before that, she hadn't realized how much she missed us and needed us. We have vowed that, as sisters and friends, we have a bond which we won't allow to be broken and that we'll always be here for each other.
I would like to take three of these "girls" (the one whose son died, plus two who've recently been widowed) on this wonderful trip. Thank you for the opportunity, FOF!
With warm regards, Gelene Ellsworth
May 22, 2012 at 11:04 am
A trip of shopping and the spa.
May 22, 2012 at 11:04 am
My favorite activity is getting together at the gym to walk the treadmill, go to Pilates class and then breakfast afterwards. Doing things together makes everything more fun!
May 22, 2012 at 11:04 am
Hiking, tubing down the river, and talking!
May 22, 2012 at 11:04 am
Would love to get my college friends together to reunite!
May 22, 2012 at 11:03 am
Once a month we go to a "chick flick" in the morning, and then have lunch at a circular table to laugh and catch up.
May 22, 2012 at 11:03 am
We are all besties from high school. We love to get together for a great lunch reminicing about the fun times we've had and then spend the day shopping. It is always nice to get together for fun adult conversations and lots of laughs!
May 22, 2012 at 11:03 am
Looks like soo much fun.
May 22, 2012 at 11:03 am
We get together and spend precious time with each other. Not a minute goes by that we don't appreciate each other! We really love each other and have learned the value of life by now.
May 22, 2012 at 11:02 am
we like to help out the food bank--growing vegetables and picking produce at orcarrds
May 22, 2012 at 11:02 am
When I'm with my girlfriends I love to go shopping and sightseeing especially when in a new place.
May 22, 2012 at 11:01 am

May 22, 2012 at 11:00 am

May 22, 2012 at 11:00 am
I have several women that we have been friends since grade school. We get together every year or so for a vacation. We go different places and do whatever is available, but our most favorite thing to do is just hangout have drinks and talk-about everything.
May 22, 2012 at 10:59 am
Shopping, movies
May 22, 2012 at 10:59 am
We all serve on the board of our HOA, and decompress after meetings with a girl's afternoon out and abundant laughter,
May 22, 2012 at 10:57 am

May 22, 2012 at 10:54 am
a day of antiquing then a pajama party
May 22, 2012 at 10:54 am
We love to get together and talk all night. We sing and dance and laugh at each other. The last time we did this was May 11, 2012. I lost my mom on April 12, 2012 and being with them helped me so much. I would love to take them on a trip because of the way we love each other. Please consider us for this trip. Losing mom is still hurting me and I think leaving here would help my depression. Thank you so much.
May 22, 2012 at 10:53 am
THERE ARE SO MANY....BALLET, BOOK CLUB, ESCAPING TO A WOODLAND RETREAT FOR YOGA, MEDITATION, EXERCISING AND JUST BEING TOGETHER!!
May 22, 2012 at 10:53 am
Since I live in a different state then my best friends, the weekends away have always been special to us. We shop, eat, drink, relax by a pool, talk, we have one tradition that goes way back. We rent a scary movie and watch it together. But the best thing about being together is the laughter. Best medicine....laughter and girlfriends.
May 22, 2012 at 10:51 am
I love spa treatments with my girlfriends, that way we get relaxed and real, all the stresses of being a wife, mother and executive wash away.
May 22, 2012 at 10:50 am
Drinks and dinner, camping, traveling!
May 22, 2012 at 10:48 am
My all time favorite activity is spa treatments. It has been along time since we have all gotten together. My best friends live in San Diego, Boston, and Binghamton NY. We haven't been able to all get together in a few years. Love and miss seeing my best friends. Please pick me.
May 22, 2012 at 10:47 am
Just hang out and chat
May 22, 2012 at 10:47 am
I love to discuss a good book while sipping an excellent white wine with my gal pals.
May 22, 2012 at 10:46 am
It is so rare these days that we see each other since we live all over the country, but the group I have had the most fun with were girls from grade school. We drank and laughed all night long the last time we saw each other. It was as if we were in 3rd grade again. We are now in our 60's!
May 22, 2012 at 10:46 am
Since we are all so busy - we try and get together when we can and catch up on Life's blessings and have some mimosas or margaritas and enjoy each others stories!
May 22, 2012 at 10:45 am
Have dinner and see a movie!
May 22, 2012 at 10:44 am
Lunch/dinner lots of talking and laughing (and at times... even a few tears).

May 22, 2012 at 10:43 am
Thanks God Almighty for this opportunity. My friend is Sweet Jesus the Christ you know the one the crucified one. The one that got up with power in his hand. My mom is my friend she just turned 79 years old. She seems to be sad. She loves all of us however my eight brothers and sisters conspired with corrupt authorities to find out what my mom and I talk about. My mean retired cop sister is popular just like the others. One of my brothers is making a living off of her. She looks weak. I have been stayiny with her for eight months. Last night the other brother that been in jail for 16 years has been home for three years. He set me up by saying I owe him money. I already been drugged and God knows what else happened to me. He jumped in my face and my old stomping ground does not accept me because I tell it like it is. My family have me watched by counsil people. I ran for office just to escape their clutches. I help everybody else it's my turn. My mom deserves happiness and money. My job was taken from me that was six years ago. My relatives are plotting my death. The corrupt cops are on their side. My mom is weary. I tell her all the time I love her.

talk about our families....
May 22, 2012 at 10:39 am
With our hectic lives and busy schedules, all of my girlfriends find exercise an important (but often boring) part of our daily routine. Therefore, we often kill two birds with one stone and either walk together with friends, or jump on my elliptical while catching up with girlfriends. While exercise is good for our body, daily talks with my women friends clears my head and is a great coping mechanism for sorting out problems. I even find this time productive in planning out my day, events, etc.
Listening to a radio is certainly way to make exercise more enjoyable, but I find myself even more invigorated and clear headed (even stress relieved) when I walk and exercise with my girlfriends.
May 22, 2012 at 10:38 am
Spending time together to catch up with one another - we always end up laughing and being so happy just to be together!
May 22, 2012 at 10:37 am

My college friends have been together for over thirty years! It seems that whatever we do together is wonderful. We really love to travel and explore the food and culture of places we visit.
May 22, 2012 at 10:36 am
Getting a group of us together to exchange clothes, lipstick and make-up that we may not like but the other may. We have drinks and food along with great conversation reminnessing of days gone by, present and past. We have lots of laughs and tears together, what we should have, could have, or have done. We have our children and children's children to talk about and share.
We love each other unconditionally.
May 22, 2012 at 10:36 am
My girlfriends and I would enjoy the outdoors with food and drinks, catching up on all of our families and fun that we have missed while living our busy lives in different states. We are still close after all these years, but somehow have all ended up caring for our elderly parents. We have all taken different paths in life and ended up in the same place, although different physical places. To be able to enjoy some time together, possibly for the last time all together physically, would be such a cherished memory for us. We care for parents and grandchildren. I KNOW they all deserve it, and I like to think I am also worthy. Thank you for the dream of relaxing with my best friends one last time.
May 22, 2012 at 10:36 am
The girls get together 2 or 3 times a month. We grill out and chat the night away!
May 22, 2012 at 10:35 am

My favorite activity with girlfriends is getting together for lunch, dinner or a glass of wine to catch up and talk!
May 22, 2012 at 10:30 am
My girlfriends and I go on a music cruise in the Caribbean every winter. We spend 7 days in the sun, at the spa on the ship and choosing among about 125 concerts all in all. And we eat and drink!
May 22, 2012 at 10:30 am
We enjoy power walking, lots of talking over a meal or lots of snacks while we chat and catch up. The beach or pool, travel, and especially getting spa treatments together. Being all busy working and raising families, when we do get together it's a treasure!
May 22, 2012 at 10:30 am
A weekend at the beach, escaping our problems, laughing at anything and everything.
May 22, 2012 at 10:30 am
Wining, dining and sharing our lives with one another through conversation. Supporting one another is another aspect and an ongoing and trusting love.
May 22, 2012 at 10:29 am
The four of us have been friends for over 30 years and two of us over fifty years! (Telling you any more would be dating ourselves)We live states apart one in Michigan, two in Illinois and one in Colorado. We keep in touch by phone and barely manage a few days a year in good ole Skokie, Illinois where we all grew up in very unique circumstances. We know how fortunate we are. When we come together we spend the time thanking each other for our very rare solidarity and our total committment to nourtouring the friendship we have shared so very long that, indeed, we are a part of each other. It would be wonderful to celebrate our gift at these facilities. Sincerely, TerrilynBergeron@att.net.

I absolutely love spending the day doing something physical like running, hiking, or biking, then enjoy the evening around a table with good food, good wine, and lots of converstaion, laughter, even a few tears, and nice back ground music.
May 22, 2012 at 10:25 am
Doesn't matter what we do; it's about being together.
May 22, 2012 at 10:25 am
My favorite activity is horseback riding. More over, after horseback riding it would be lounging by a pool with foofie drinks and my best friends.
We don't often get time to spend with each other and this would be the most perfect opportunity to make us get together so:
Pick Me Pick Me!
Thanks!
Jamie
May 22, 2012 at 10:24 am

May 22, 2012 at 10:22 am
During the summer we like to bike ride on a bike trail to a coffee shop a few miles away.
Otherwise we try to get together for a ladies night out which is usually at a restaurant.
May 22, 2012 at 10:22 am
Long hikes or walks that lead to long conversations, stories and pseudo-therapy sessions that lead to food or drink or both that lead to laughter, tears and memories.
May 22, 2012 at 10:22 am

May 22, 2012 at 10:21 am
Men may come and go, but true girlfriends are for life. They are there to laugh and cry with you, support you when you're down and share your joy when you're flying high. A weekend away with my special friends would be heaven!
May 22, 2012 at 10:21 am
I love my "girlfriend" time no matter what we are doing. We love to shop, eat, scrap-book, travel, go to concerts, work out, or just walk for a cup of tea and talking! Keeps me sane in my crazy busy life.
May 22, 2012 at 10:21 am
A fab lunch and a day at the mall burning up the charge cards!!!

May 22, 2012 at 10:17 am
We love going to the movies, getting coffee and dessert, and just hanging out. My husband has leukemina and I don't get to just "be" very much. I would love the chance to spent a few days with my friends, not worrying about hemoglobin counts, etc.
May 22, 2012 at 10:17 am
Fun weekend getaways.
May 22, 2012 at 10:17 am
We don't see each other often so we enjoy catching up on each other's lives and enjoying each other's company.
May 22, 2012 at 10:17 am
We're burnt out and need a get away.
May 22, 2012 at 10:17 am
Our favorite thing to do is gamble and shop. What more could a girl want besides chocolate!
May 22, 2012 at 10:17 am
Make each other laugh so we know we aren't the only "one"
May 22, 2012 at 10:16 am
Going out to dinner which is difficult due to the limited number of places to dine in this area. Would like to make a change and find a new activity that all of us can enjoy.
May 22, 2012 at 10:16 am
I would love to go on this getaway with my 3 sisters, they are my best friends.
May 22, 2012 at 10:16 am
We listen! Heartfelt listening. Being with and walking alongside. Through the darkest night and the brightest day. The rest is gravy.
May 22, 2012 at 10:16 am
Love to shop
May 22, 2012 at 10:16 am
relaxing and enjoying a movie, dinner and catching up with family news
May 22, 2012 at 10:16 am
These days - although not as often as we'd all like - it seems to be going out for a glass of wine (or two) and dinner. Used to be we would get together to do some serious antiquing, after a lovely breakfast, but we've all gotten very busy with kids and grandkids, and checking in on our aging parents!
May 22, 2012 at 10:15 am
Our favorite activity is to re-connect and catch up. Just finding the time to spend time together is a coup in itself! Our last get-away was last 4th of July at a beach house in Florida - memories that will last a lifetime!
May 22, 2012 at 10:15 am
We love to drink wine and have massages together. This sounds right in line with our next outing!
May 22, 2012 at 10:15 am
Relax, chill by the pool, read, enjoy great food and talk all night (or until we pass out). Relaxing is the most important part . . . and focusing on our friendships!
May 22, 2012 at 10:15 am
Being there. We all have difficult situations we are all dealing with in our lives and having each other to call, listen, vent, cry and most of all support is our favorite activity for each other.
May 22, 2012 at 10:15 am

Exercise,walk, share wonderful meals together,and of course shop.
May 22, 2012 at 10:15 am
I would take my 3 sisters, and my favorite past time with them is just being together and enjoying each others company, as none of us live in the same state. I am positive the evening of chick flicks would bring lots of laughs, as would the spa lunch in a bathrobe.
May 22, 2012 at 10:15 am
Relax! Mentally and physically.
May 22, 2012 at 10:15 am
Me and my girlfriends have a supper night once a month, we all bring something and then the gabfest begins, I would love to be able to take them away~~
May 22, 2012 at 10:15 am
I love most to enjoy the company of my great friends, each unique and much they have given me in my own journey of life. I love walking, swimming, chatting at Diner with each and everyone. I love boating, shows and sitting at the pool reading books. I love every moment I get with them. They each are very special to me.
May 22, 2012 at 10:15 am
Shop, of course! Have lunch or supper, have a cocktail, go on short day trips -- most important -- meaningful, interesting, fun conversations!
May 22, 2012 at 10:15 am
To enjoy their company...a couple of of my besties are many miles away since I moved.
May 22, 2012 at 10:14 am
hanging out by the pool or going wine-tasting, shopping, followed by a nice dinner and a decadent dessert!
May 22, 2012 at 10:14 am
Taking time to get away for a day or two. Talking, listening, laughing. My friends are 60 years old and have been friends since high school. We have supported each other through good times and hard,sad times. I don't know what I would do without their love and support.
May 22, 2012 at 10:14 am

May 22, 2012 at 10:12 am

We have girls night as often as we can! We have a great circle of girls that have been friends now for about 15 years. Sometimes we meet at a restaurant for dinner, sometimes is a bar and karaoke night and sometime one of us will just have everyone over for dinner and a bottle of wine. (or two!) It doesn't matter as long as we're all together!
May 22, 2012 at 10:12 am
I enjoy catching up with my friends over dinner and a glass of wine.
May 22, 2012 at 10:11 am
With a friendship of over 30 years, we are always amazed that we still have something to talk about. We really just love being together. We've experience so much of life together and the last few years have been very stressful. We could use a time to reconnect with some relaxation and fun.
May 22, 2012 at 10:11 am
go to the beach
May 22, 2012 at 10:11 am
Because TIME and LIFE seem to make get-togethers so few and far between I honestly value just some down time with my "peeps".
We really don't like to pack to much into our time so that we can just BE and talk, catch up and refresh each other.
May 22, 2012 at 10:11 am
shop and eat and go to musuems or the theater or do nothing

Tell us when and we will be there!
May 21, 2012 at 09:14 pm
Sitting in a spot with a beautiful view and catching up with my girlfriends. No husbands, no kids, no jobs --- no interruptions!
May 21, 2012 at 08:40 pm
Many times we go out to dinner or meet up at one another's houses since we don't have a lot of time to see one another.
May 21, 2012 at 07:42 pm
I LOVE talking and catching up with my Dear Friends. It is so much fun to learn what they are doing in their lives! For example, one of my Friends lives in Tennessee and is raising her precious Great Granddaughter. Anther friend is in New York. New York always is a subject of intensity. Since I lived there, I can really relate. I love to do just about anything with my girlfriends. To pick a "fav" I'd have to say "TRAVEL". I've sure done a lot of this with my girlfriends and have such golden memories with them!
May 21, 2012 at 05:34 pm
Since most of my girlfriends, over the years (I being an Air Force brat), are scattered to many places, would take daughters and daughter-in-law's. We all enjoy doing things together and could use a relaxing trip like this, thanks!!
May 21, 2012 at 04:27 pm
Our annual getaway to NY City - a 3 day week-end filled with plays, restaurants, and shopping! And LOTS of laughs!
May 21, 2012 at 12:25 pm
My four girlfriends and I(friends since childhood) love sitting around, eating and drinking, and catching up on each other's lives since we get together just once a year.
May 21, 2012 at 12:22 pm
I just enjoy sitting with a cup a tea or maybe a snack chatting & visiting with my friends, now days to be in person with someone you enjoy hanging around with is one of lifes greatest pleasures!
May 21, 2012 at 12:05 pm
Because all of my most precious circle of girlfriends live a days travel or farther away, my most favorite activity is simple getting together and seeing each other face to face.
I feel blessed to have not only fabulous long time friends, but to have loving cousins.
May 21, 2012 at 11:16 am
Get together, see a movie, shop, go to a restaurant...

May 20, 2012 at 08:46 pm
Our gang has been going out to lunch every Friday for the past 15 years. We love to share what is going on in each others lives, there is always so much to talk about!

Thanks for the opportunity to enter in the girlfriend giveaway retreat.

May 19, 2012 at 12:55 pm
My group of girlfriends and I truly enjoy all things luxury. We go for mani-pedi's in pairs on a regular basis to reconnect and relax. I have another friend that I do all day spa packages with. All my friends and I enjoy meeting and having coctails and dinner at our favorite local Italian restaurant. Out of town trips for a chance to get away and just be ourselves...wonderful!
Do I have to pick just one? I enjoy them all!
May 19, 2012 at 11:51 am
A spa vacation where we can just stop for a bit...relax and recharge.

Let's chat ladies!
May 19, 2012 at 10:50 am
Ready. Set. Shop!
May 19, 2012 at 03:30 am
My favorite activity to do with girlfriends is get some exercise together while discussing everything going on in our lives. Walking at the park, roller skating, shopping, and biking are all fun ways to do this. Afterwards, I always feel like my batteries are recharged and I am ready to take on the world again.
May 19, 2012 at 12:49 am
... having tea at Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf...
... bible study ...
... watching old movies...
May 18, 2012 at 10:04 pm
As an esthetician myself, my friends & I like to be able take time recharge our batteries, receive spa services.
We hike,run, eat good food, eat junk food, lament that :)... Always look forward to seeing each other as "human beings" outside of work.
Many people don't realize how strenuous being a " body worker" i.e. Esti, Massage Therapist, can be. We often neglect to take care of ourselves.
May 18, 2012 at 06:37 pm
A spa day!
May 18, 2012 at 06:35 pm
Shopping, eating, movies, spas, arts & crafts festivals
May 18, 2012 at 06:11 pm
I would take my 3 sisters with me because now that we're all grown up, we are best friends. Our favorite activity to do together is laugh out loud. Honestly, we could be almost anywhere together and have a rip-roaring good time, though the idea of being somewhere so beautiful, far away from our husbands and kids is a most delicious thought! We would Zumba, we would float in the pool, we would spa like crazy!
May 18, 2012 at 05:20 pm
dinner and movies
May 18, 2012 at 01:25 pm
We get together at each other's homes once a month for appetizers and wine and a rousing game of steal bingo! Each lady brings a $10 prize. We play round one until each of the prizes has been "won" by someone. The prizes leave the room, the machine that calls the numbers is sped up and for one hour in round two, we steal the prize from someone who won in round one. The same prize can be stolen more than once, but when the timer goes off after an hour of play, whoever has a prize in their possession can keep it. It's a lot of fun and we have a lot of laughs. But it would be nice to get away and really have a chance to connect because one day a month is not enough -- and of course, we can't really talk and play!
May 18, 2012 at 01:26 am
We get together at coffee shops or at each other's homes. This is just great to relax, catch up a bit, and to laugh at what life has (or has not) thrown at us. I'd love to get together with my sister and my mother to play cards, read, and laugh together again at least one more time. I live 7000 miles from them but we talk on the phone a lot!
May 17, 2012 at 11:39 pm
We love to get together at each others homes to catch up with each other, try new recipes and new wines that we have found. We are know to spend hours with each other cooking, visiting, laughing and watching movies.
In fact this summer one of our sons is getting married and we are flying out to California from Texas a few days ahead of time to see the sights and then pick up our friend the day after the wedding to spend a few days relaxing with her in San Diego before heading home!
We love experiencing life together!!
May 17, 2012 at 11:31 pm
I like to get metaphysical with my friends. We can talk for hours!
May 17, 2012 at 11:10 pm
The 3 peopel I would take would be my sisters, and what a wonderful getaway it would be. The only thing better would be to add on my 2 sister-in-laws and my mom. This would be great for us to celebrate Mom's 80th b-day!

May 17, 2012 at 04:15 pm
Different activities with different friends, but because I have cancer and must deal with a lot of side effects from the treatment, a favorite activity is inviting a few friends over and hanging out on the back yard patio. Lots of flowers and garden art, soft white flowing curtains, lots of cobalt blue. white and lime green accents. Then, we have lunch and hang out in the family room and laugh & talk and share stories. Lots of laughter and sharing good times are the goal.
May 17, 2012 at 04:06 pm
Spending time with my friends is a wonderful way of leaving all my issues behind me and having a great time and enjoying life.
May 17, 2012 at 03:37 pm
My favorite activity with girlfriends is making homemade greeting cards, chatting all the while. :o)
May 17, 2012 at 03:24 pm
Our "Diva" group of 4 has gone out to dinner once a month for years! We've been through thick and thin together, always supporting one another. We helped raise each others children and even though they are all grown now, we are still raising them! You know what I mean.............
May 17, 2012 at 03:07 pm
Walk the beach and catch up on the latest in each others life!
May 17, 2012 at 02:59 pm

Surf, yoga, eat good food and laugh
May 17, 2012 at 02:56 pm
Get together every Monday noon and really share in a most honest and "gut" level way. It's all confidential and is not discussed outside the group -- giving a "safe" and private place to attend on Mondays !!
May 17, 2012 at 02:45 pm
Explore and shop during the day, have a manicure&pedicure, and then finish off at home with a few drinks and just talk and relax.
May 17, 2012 at 01:27 pm

May 17, 2012 at 01:11 pm
Hang out watching chick flicks and having popcorn and cocktails. It's great to take time with your best friends to escape the day to day stresses and spend some time with those who always support you in whatever you're doing!
May 17, 2012 at 12:59 pm

My friends and I love to take short trips to resorts. We've been to Lake Geneva, Wisconsin; Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin and Galena, Illinois.
We love going to the beach and visiting the spa. Nothing is more relaxing and it couldn't be better sharing it all with close friends.
May 17, 2012 at 11:37 am

May 17, 2012 at 08:29 am
This would be more for my best freind that me. She has 5 children and for the past 25 years has not had a break..no vacation...no time for friends (me)....health issues...and may other things. We have been friends since we are 7 years old. While I don't get to see her often, I can pick up the phone like we talk every day...I miss her and would love to surprise her with this. The last time we were on a vacation together we were 17.....She just had surgery and I would love to surprise her with this.
Thank you
May 17, 2012 at 07:50 am
We don't get too much time together due to work, family and other commitments to our time. However, when we do we try to spend quality time together along with doing something fun for ourselves such as trying to places to have lunch or dinner, short weekend getaways usual nearby or just gathering at one of our homes to catch up. A trip together to Vail would be amazing. I know I have never been there and would love the opportunity, especially with my best friends. Thank you!
May 17, 2012 at 07:37 am
We love to have a spa day together. We get massages, and mani/pedis and of course a drink or two!

We enjoy lunches, Packer parties, and just "hanging out". We've been together since high school graduation over 50 years ago.
May 16, 2012 at 10:56 pm
We usually have a dinner party or barbecue and catch up which usually goes into the the night. We are all on budgets since our children our in college. I wish we could getaway but taking turns being the host is a perfect way to get us all together.

Early every Saturday morning we get up and head out to the garage sales and flea markets looking for antiques and treasures..... then on to breakfast with the full course, and last we clean up the loot to see what treasures we each found. Fun, fun, fun!
May 16, 2012 at 09:53 pm
It seems that my girlfriends and I always have the best time when sharing experiences and feeling a sense of accomplishment through it all. My favorite activities with girlfriends is all about new experiences, whether climbing the highest peak in Zion, or taking a Bollywood dance class or improv class together, or trying tennis for the first time. At our age, we don't care who's looking and we don't care what anyone thinks, so we are willing to try something new together. That's all always rewarding. And bonding. And then again, so is sharing a great meal, wine and conversation.
May 16, 2012 at 09:47 pm
What a luxurious getaway! The spa treatments, garden terrace and fireplaces! Great way to spend a few days with friends.
May 16, 2012 at 09:19 pm
Lunch at trendy restaurants.
May 16, 2012 at 09:16 pm
I have friends with varied interest, however we all share

May 16, 2012 at 08:59 pm
we like to take a walk together (weather permitting) then sit and relax afterwards to chat.
May 16, 2012 at 08:56 pm
We love to get together to paint. We find instruction on the web, go to someone's house with food and drink and have a great time even though we stink at painting. We also get together for book club. We eat, drink and sometimes even talk about the book!
May 16, 2012 at 08:44 pm
Relaxing and being pampered at the Spa. But this is no bargain! Does not include airfare! Big deal! Not much of a prize.
May 16, 2012 at 08:35 pm
I have about 4 girlfriends that I've known since high school (23 years). When we do get to see each other, I most enjoy spending time talking, relaxing, having a couple of drinks and catching up.
May 16, 2012 at 08:12 pm
Play tennis with my team members (5 courts at a time), followed by food & drinks by the courts (to the great envy of the opposing teams).
May 16, 2012 at 08:07 pm
Wow. Would love to go to Vail. A beautiful place to be.
May 16, 2012 at 08:01 pm
We love going to Bikram yoga classes together followed by some sushi.
May 16, 2012 at 07:57 pm
Being with them is enough and always gives way to relaxing fun, food and lots of great conversation and ideas!
May 16, 2012 at 07:52 pm

I love doing anything with my friends- it is so rare that we can get together, just enjoying their company is fine with me- I guess I'm kind of a low-maintence friend!! I go with the flow!
May 16, 2012 at 07:26 pm
My girlfriend and I walk 3 miles a day for many years now. We get our exercise in while chatting about our children, husbands, Jobs etc...It is a win win. Girl time and exercise. Love it.
May 16, 2012 at 07:09 pm
This is on behalf of my wife. She and her girlfriends would love the routine SPA treatments, tour of the Okanagan wine growers, taste-testing, and the limo ride back to the resort for lunch and dinner. Thats 3 and then the fourth idea would be river channeling thru Penticton. Just the four girls, not me...nope, not allowed. Special just for them! :) Happy wife, happy life!
Rick (On behalf of my wife)
May 16, 2012 at 07:08 pm
The nordique spa - nothing is better than soaking in hot tubs with wine gabbing then daring each other to jump into cold rivers screaming then back into hot saunas and steam rooms. Bliss and fun all in one.
May 16, 2012 at 07:07 pm
Lounging and drinking wine !!
May 16, 2012 at 07:06 pm
My favorite activity that I love to do with my girlfriends is to Catch up over a glass of great wine !! We dont see each other often and this is a nice way to spend the little time we have together.

Just having a glass of wine with dinner while laughing about our life's.
May 16, 2012 at 06:32 pm
Theres a tea room in the old former town hall library here in London. It has old wood panelled walls and views of the river. Once a month the girls get together and each swaps a favourite book or item of clothing.. We have cakes and champagne ... And more champagne (with all the money we're saving by swapping things!)
May 16, 2012 at 06:31 pm
My favorite day with my girl friends would be taking a train into New York to see the museums ,take a subway into the East Village for some great natural food, and of course shopping.It's a lot to do in one day but it's been done!
May 16, 2012 at 05:53 pm
I moved away from my besties, so we try and plan a girls' getaway every year for catch-up, wine, and spa. This year the last two of us are celebratibg Fabatfifty, and this would be the perfect birthday getaway!
May 16, 2012 at 05:49 pm
Eating meals in a restaurant and "sharing".
May 16, 2012 at 05:23 pm
A brunch and beach day. I'm from Florida so there is nothing better than getting brunch with my girls and heading over to the beach for some sun and swimming. It's the best way to spend the day!
May 16, 2012 at 05:22 pm
I mostly just enjoy the company of my girlfriends. Love traveling with then for a shopping, dinning, hiking. And really enjoy hanging in a spa pampering ourselves.
May 16, 2012 at 05:21 pm
All of my friends are getting divorced, so I like to listen to the ex-husband trash talk-a-thon...then go home and be grateful my husband is nice to me!
May 16, 2012 at 05:12 pm
For our 40th birthdays, we treated ourselves to a 4 day spa retreat in Arizona! We lounged by the Spa pool, ate healthy, had our treatments and then played golf and shopped around town, when we weren't getting pampered! It was a wonderful trip!
Due to our busy schedules, one of our travelers--my college roommate--gave her niece a kidney, college tuitions and just being plain short of funds, we couldn't duplicate the trip this past year for our 50th birthdays. I would love to be able to help treat my girlfriends to this fabulous trip to destress and enjoy our newest decade together!
May 16, 2012 at 05:09 pm
Everything!!! Bookclubs, museums, plays and movies, dining out or just getting together for coffee. I also have friends to exercise with, bike riding and sailing. I must say my favorite activity is just to spend time with them catching up on each others lives and experiencing the joy of their friendship.
May 16, 2012 at 04:45 pm
Relax & Have FUN !!!!!
May 16, 2012 at 04:36 pm
Anything where we can spend time face-to-face, talking, laughing, and catching up with one another: walking, biking, dinner, luncheons, etc.!
May 16, 2012 at 04:30 pm
I have to say my absolute favorite thing to do with my girlfriends ever since I was 16 years old was visit Vail Colorado over the 4th of July. We would look forward to it every year. To this day I have so many fond memories of the girls and me enjoying our days there. The weather is beautiful. The streets are busy and the fireworks are seriously "the best" around. Summer trips to Vail with the girls, nothing beats it!
May 16, 2012 at 04:27 pm
My favorite is getting together and laughing....at anything. I come home refreshed and full of energy,nothing like gabbing with your friends.
May 16, 2012 at 04:23 pm
I don't get to see my friends often but we keep in touch on facebook. This would be a great way to spend some time together.
May 16, 2012 at 04:20 pm
Gabbing about anything -- we've known each other for almost 30 years, there's no topic off limits. We laugh our buttocks off!
May 16, 2012 at 04:16 pm
My girl's and I can sit and talk for hours.
May 16, 2012 at 04:11 pm
Talking! We are spread out a bit around the country and can't always get together, but we can always call, text, or email. But there's NOTHING like being together and sharing a bottle of wine and talking each other through the good times and rough times that come with life.
May 16, 2012 at 03:43 pm
I have not been to Vail and would love to check it out! Thank you for a chance!
May 16, 2012 at 03:28 pm
If its warm enough to swim , that would be great.
May 16, 2012 at 03:24 pm
Going to a Broadway show in NYC & then having a discussion about the play. How did it make us feel, the music and set design.
May 16, 2012 at 03:17 pm
Good friends and good food - a recipe for fun!
May 16, 2012 at 03:16 pm
Eating and shopping - what could be better!
May 16, 2012 at 03:02 pm
We don't have to do anything - just being with one another is the best thing about being best friends!
May 16, 2012 at 02:54 pm
Any time spent with "the girls" is quality time and sure to be fun, whether we are out "junking" or just sittin outside solvin all the world's problems with our favorite beverage...
May 16, 2012 at 02:35 pm
I think it goes with out saying we would enjoy the quaint shops in Vail, but a nice spa day, pampered extensively an afternoon lunch with lots of wine. A late afternoon nap and then an invigorating hike the next day; enjoying the wonderful and immense mountains of the Colorado Rockies. It would be extra special as my father, Jame Rose grew up in Vail/Leadville.
I would so love to win this trip.............please!
May 16, 2012 at 02:31 pm
Enjoy a glass of wine and great conversation. Throw in some shopping and wonderful meals!

May 16, 2012 at 10:38 am
We are four college friends who'll be celebrating our 35th reunion next year. We are all in different cities with our own busy lives. We rarely see each other but manage to keep in touch. A rare occasion that brought us all together after 35 years was my wedding last year and we vowed to reunite annually. We love having cocktails and reminiscing over old college photos and old boyfriends.
May 16, 2012 at 10:34 am
A great day with my people finds us dancing, singing, meditating or walking the labrynth, and then visiting over some good food.

I love to just hang out and talk its so relaxing and it can be such a stress reliever.
May 16, 2012 at 08:52 am
Taking power walks and catching up.
May 16, 2012 at 08:44 am
My favorite activity with my girlfriends is chatting and catching up with each other. There is a special group of my friends from different corners of the country, and we used to meet once yearly. Due to re-locations, new jobs, and other reasons, we have not been together for 3 years. Our activities, when we meet are very close to the outline of this adgenda. If I won this I would invite 3 of my longest friends from the group to join me.
May 16, 2012 at 08:28 am
Catch up! live, laugh, love, and enjoy each other's co
mpany.

WE love just going to a spa-beach or any pace we can catch up and just girl talk. Maybe get nails done anything really just as long as we are together
May 16, 2012 at 06:55 am
We enjoy just being together no matter what we do. We love to shop for jewelry and when one of us needs an accessory for our home, we scour the shops to find the right item.We met at a nursery we were employed at and has since closed. This time of year we have been visiting every nursery searching for the perfect plants for our garden. We used to go on buying trips together for the store we worked so for us to get away together would be like old times! What fun!!!
May 16, 2012 at 06:17 am
Right now we all are on a diet together! So we meet for our weekly meeting and go out to eat (we count our points). No more girl's night with drinks for right now. We can still have our movie night out, just no popcorn.
May 16, 2012 at 05:26 am
At a SuperBowl party in February of 2010 I threw out the challenge to all the women at the party to join me in a sprint triathlon that year. I had immediate interest, but I wasn't sure if it was the booze talking...so we set up a schedule and trained twice a week and in August of 2010, 11 of us crossed the finished line - 8 of us being first-timers! This year, myself and another friend have decided to do an ocean triathlon, so 7 of us are going to a beach house this weekend to practice the swim together. It's all about support: I'm recovering from 2 knee surgeries, another one of us has NEVER DONE a GNO weekend without her husband of 35+ years, and a 3rd friend works 60+ hours/week. We love to share, bond and SUPPORT one another!
Thanks for your consideration,
Donna Jacobites

fun and let our hair down.
May 16, 2012 at 01:43 am
I would love to win this litle getaway. I would take my mom who is turning 90 in June, and my sister, my two best friends. What a great gift that would be for my mom's birthday!
May 16, 2012 at 01:43 am
I have three Sisters whom I would consider my best friends. over nine years ago my youngest sister was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a double mastectomy. Every year since, the four of us get together for a weekend somewhere to catch up, shop and celebrate her survival and our friendship.
May 16, 2012 at 01:37 am
We like to go out to lunch or dinner and just sit and talk and laugh or cry and encourage each other. We can solve the problems of the world at our dinners.
May 16, 2012 at 01:28 am
Several of us get together and go watch another girlfriend participate in roller derby! Remember watching it on tv back in the 60's on Saturday afternoon after American Bandstand? Yep, roller derby is back! But nowadays all proceeds go to charity - a different designated charity for each bout.
May 16, 2012 at 01:26 am
Just spending time with them is a blessing. I am a three year cancer survivor.
May 16, 2012 at 12:53 am
I love to spend the day catching up, talking, blowing off all our daily steam. And having a great meal together, lots and lots of talking and laughing. Ohhhhhhhh, it has been way to long ! :)

Getting together, good food, good conversation, and most importantly great company!
May 16, 2012 at 12:29 am
Girlfriends are an incredible gift. I laugh, I cry and enjoy really being me...the real me, burdens are lifted while talking and playing cards or watching a movie. We make up our own words and are silly. I feel free to just be me...Woo Hoo!
May 16, 2012 at 12:28 am
Getting a mani/pedi, or doing facials & deep conditioning treatments @ home (we'd go to the Spa if we could afford it... ) but we'd LOVE to be pampered like THIS! Thanks for the chance...

Once a year my three sisters and I get together somewhere in the United States to celebrate our Mom's birthday who passed away in 2006. We are poor so this would be a great surprise and treat for my sisters who live in Indiana, Tennessee and Colorado. We like to hike, shop, bike ride, shop, eat and shop.
May 15, 2012 at 11:41 pm
Getting together each month just for support and lots of laughs.
May 15, 2012 at 11:35 pm
I love to get a group together to cook for the evening. We all bring something to contribute to the meal, open a couple bottles of wine, talk, laugh and tell our stories to one another.
Alternatively, we get together to go out for lunch and then spend the afternoon combing the thrift stores to see who can find the best item at the best price. It's a competition!
May 15, 2012 at 11:29 pm
A lovely dinner with wine and talk into the night...followed by a morning coffee and leisurely walk of follow up discussion in the morning.
May 15, 2012 at 11:08 pm
Having a nice dinner and lots of sharing life's experiences with what ever is going on in each of our life's. Enjoying a nice drink or two to end up the evening of visiting. Some site seeing as we visit as well.

We get so little time together that we enjoy just having a meal, some wine and talking.
May 15, 2012 at 10:49 pm
I love traveling with my one girlfriend. We like to do the same things, eat similarly, and find the same things hysterical. My other two girlfriends are wonderful women who have pulled me through some very stressful times. We all love to share a meal, good wine, and plenty of laughs!
May 15, 2012 at 10:48 pm
Shopping, drinking wine, working on craft projects, laughing...whatever!!

just hanging out and chatting
May 15, 2012 at 10:19 pm
Hey, we still hang out sometime! Everyone is not married, so we respect each other's right to participate or not in a night out at a nice club setting. We go out to lunch, celebrate each other's birthday and do some community activities. We really enjoy various events.
May 15, 2012 at 10:14 pm
shopping! and casino gambling
May 15, 2012 at 10:13 pm
Talk. We go over all problems. There a lot of encouragement and good ideas because who has known me longer or better? If due to "life" we don't talk for awhile we just pick up like no time has passed. And of course there's a lot of "do you remember?" and "whatever happened to?" Reminising is fun. Like a relative, you don't have to explain what happened or catch them up to the story. I treasure my old friends, the few that are left.
May 15, 2012 at 10:05 pm
I enjoy just about anything with girlfriends, but just socializing with a bottle or two of wine is very relaxing to me!
May 15, 2012 at 10:05 pm

Walk and talk for exercise
May 15, 2012 at 08:57 pm
Every Thursday morning I meet with my girlfriends and we do a power walk around Balboa Island. We talk about everything - books, restaurants, kids, family, and anything that may be going on in our lives. Laughter, empathy, sage advice, and sometimes tears are all a part of the fabric woven into the richness of girlfriend time. Through ups and downs, in's and outs, we are always there for each other - for over 25 years and counting. I tell my daughters something I wish my own mother had shared with me - "Men will come and go in your life, but girlfriends are forever. Tend your garden well - water and feed, and occasionally pull the weeds that can spoil the benefits of your garden and you will have a lifetime of beauty and pleasure from it."
May 15, 2012 at 08:56 pm
Lunch,shopping,and maybe a movie too. Or wine tasting as we are very close to the wineries in the foothills of ca., just a half hour away.

Favorite activity is exploring the City, walking around, window shopping, checking out a gallery or art opening, having a fun brunch at a sidewalk cafe or getting food from a street vendor, people watching, all the while talking and laughing with my good female friends. Sometimes a hike in the country or a day at the beach can be great too,
May 15, 2012 at 08:21 pm
We sing (along with 40 other women) together and joyously...in the Mendocino Women's Choir...over the years, we have had spa weekends together, gone camping, had garden parties, and fundraisers to support our choir. We have recently published a cookbook, "Recipes for a Song" and we're in our second printing! We just celebrated our 20th Anniversary with a sell-out Spring Concert and are now in rehearsal for performances in London cathedrals. Singing connects women deeply -- through the heart and soul -- and it's probably my favorite activity with girlfriends...
May 15, 2012 at 08:19 pm
It's hard to pick one. We love crafting together, going to tv show filmed in New York and "spa-ing". This trip would be heaven!
May 15, 2012 at 08:14 pm

Thank you for the opportunity.
May 15, 2012 at 07:58 pm
One of my best memories of an activity with my dearest friend is that I went on my third visit to London -- and she convinced her husband to let her come along for her first visit. We hit the British Museum for a few hours, and then had afternoon tea at this wonderful little place called Bea's; this one is in Bloomsbury, near the museum. The window displays alone are enough to make a person salivate -- I mean you're talking scones (real English scones) and cakes and miniature tarts. We had a table out on the sidewalk; were served tea in a beautiful porcelain tea pot, and our treats were brought to us on the prettiest china. Unlike the expensive hotels which push $100+ afternoon teas, this was so intimate but still elegant...and still very English. We just sat out there and people-watched, and had the best time talking, comparing notes, enjoying this beloved English custom. I know it's not an every day activity -- I only get to London every few years, and I'm in KY and she's in Texas, but we still talk about that afternoon at Bea's and how we can't wait to do it again in a couple of years.
May 15, 2012 at 07:57 pm
It doesn't matter what we are doing...just love being with them. Mostly enjoy the talking...and laughing, good times!
May 15, 2012 at 07:55 pm
I love to shop with galpals, and also watch movies. Depending on which other gals, we love to take long walks, then go out to eat something yummy. Much conversation accompanies any of these activities (even, sometimes at the movies!)
May 15, 2012 at 07:54 pm
shop, shop, shop and then shop
May 15, 2012 at 07:54 pm
We love to go to the movies together without our husbands.
May 15, 2012 at 07:53 pm
Travel and see someplace new together...
May 15, 2012 at 07:50 pm

May 15, 2012 at 07:41 pm
I would LOVE to get away with three of my praying girlfriends--there are several of us in prayer group. It has become one of the most meaningful parts of my life. However, in addition to praying, we also laugh a lot, drink wine, enjoy good meals and tell stories. Please, oh please, I hope I am the winner of this one!

May 15, 2012 at 07:07 pm
Watch movies and eat chocolate!
May 15, 2012 at 07:05 pm
A book club! I'm a voracious reader and one of the first things I did when I moved to my new "home town"several years ago was to join a book club. A number of the women who were already members of the group have become my good friends. Today, my life is much richer because of them -- and their friendship brings the added benefit of an unending stream of book recommendations!
May 15, 2012 at 06:55 pm
Once a week I meet with 3 of my friends for a "Stitch and Bitch" session. We each work on whatever knitting project we choose to do. My friends are very talented and experienced craftsmen. I ,however, am just learning how to knit. They are all so patient with me! Our group has been there for each other through good times and bad, including the cancer diagnosis and treatment of one of us. We laugh, talk, cry and share our lives. And sometimes we even knit!
May 15, 2012 at 06:52 pm
Bellydancing!

Relax, laugh, honor our lifetime of being friends!
May 15, 2012 at 06:38 pm
Great alfresco dining.
May 15, 2012 at 06:38 pm
Shopping & Coffee or lunch with no rushing, leans to a relaxed day with an open talkfest on anything that we want to talk about or need to talk about - a dump fest and an excellant stress reliever.
Oh yes, my bags are packed!
May 15, 2012 at 06:36 pm
This may seem unusual to some - but - we each like to "do our own thing" then meeting for dinner (hopefully with music) and have a wonderful evening just "chillin.' and dancin'
May 15, 2012 at 06:29 pm
Go shopping and gambling. Also enjoy eating.
May 15, 2012 at 06:21 pm
Probably just sitting around and talking over good food is my favorite thing to do with my friends. A spa would be a fantastic place to do it.
May 15, 2012 at 06:20 pm
Talking is a favorite. I am a massage therapist so I usually do not talk much while doing a massage so it's nice to talk with friends when I get a chance to be social...
May 15, 2012 at 06:15 pm
Ohmygosh! This is SO it! My dear friends and I have been going on many "things" in life with our husband's health, our dedication to our families and other that WE ARE the four that needs this getaway. We are deserving, with loving concerns for each "Sister" and it's really time that we got away for a couple of days and discussed/enjoyed/counted oiur blessings, etc. We ALL need serious hugs :)
May 15, 2012 at 06:15 pm
Hang out, talk about our kids, watch a chick flick and drink Pina Coladas
May 15, 2012 at 06:14 pm

May 15, 2012 at 06:13 pm
Right now, we spend a lot time biking.
May 15, 2012 at 06:10 pm
Our favorite activity most always includes shopping for the latest fashion finds at discount prices. We love to live, laugh, talk, and shop.
May 15, 2012 at 06:10 pm
Favorite activity is simply talking. We recently got together for an evening and talked nonstop for 3.5 hours about our kids, husbands, & families. It was the best time ever but we don't make time to do it enough. This fabulous spa trip would be a dream come true and one more chance to bond with my dear friends!
May 15, 2012 at 06:07 pm

Our favorite activity would be the spa treatments. This trip would truly show my friends how much they mean to me.
May 15, 2012 at 05:52 pm
I love to get together and share stories. Then I like to do some sort of physical activity so we can feel healthy, a nice brisk walk together... and then comes the wine and something delicious (after all sharing food is always a good thing).
May 15, 2012 at 05:51 pm
I like to take day trips and explore different towns.
May 15, 2012 at 05:50 pm

May 15, 2012 at 05:22 pm
Spending time together, reminiscing of our younger years, where we danced all the time....movies, vodka cocktail over dinner, shopping of course, holidays and birthdays, walk with our dogs, sharing girlfriend secrets and watching our children become young adults! What a great birthday present to me (06-11-1954) because I have been really sick this past year and getting away to relax would be perfect!!!!
May 15, 2012 at 05:17 pm

May 15, 2012 at 05:13 pm
Since college, we’ve been scattered, so when we’re able to get together, we do everything together for the weekend. Sightseeing, shopping and cooking together is a blast...even after several decades.
May 15, 2012 at 05:08 pm
Getting together is such a treat in this busy world...but we love to have a nice dinner out and sit and gab for hours!!
May 15, 2012 at 05:06 pm
I have so many wonderful freinds, but the one of the things we have in common is drinking wine, and shopping and just hanging out and getting crazy. It's alot of fun and laughs!
May 15, 2012 at 05:04 pm
Favorite? Goodness, that's a tough one because just taking a walk with a close girlfriend is good for the soul!
May 15, 2012 at 05:01 pm
Eat out, shop, spend time with each other. What could be better?! Thanks for the chance!
May 15, 2012 at 04:56 pm
Would love to win this !
May 15, 2012 at 04:55 pm
Two of my best buddies live in my town -- so we get together for everything from dancing and dining to working out and going to the movies. The other one lives in California, so we take turns visiting each other and cram several months worth of conversations, dinners and dancing into a long weekend every quarter or so!
May 15, 2012 at 04:54 pm
We love to have dinner or just appetizers and wine, then just sit and gab for hours. Sometimes me might do the same but include a chick-flick
(movie) and share a popcorn.
May 15, 2012 at 04:40 pm
We are all turning70 or on the verge of it. Play bridge and maj Jong Book clubs. Exercise and of course lots and lots of happy lunches and occasional good cry
Still involved with children and now grandchildren. Never ends
Still brings great joy and occasional sorrow
Would adore carefree special time with special people
One of my girlfriends and I have been friends for seventy years. You will never understand that it all seems how fast time flies
Help slow it down!!!!
May 15, 2012 at 04:40 pm
Spend time at the beach wishing the waves were more gentle so we could venture into the sea again.
May 15, 2012 at 04:36 pm
Movies, shopping & eating out.
May 15, 2012 at 04:32 pm
A movie/play and dinner with a lot of reminiscing and good laughter.
May 15, 2012 at 04:30 pm
We get together every year at one of our homes. We have been doing this for so many years that at our 50th we went on a fabulous vacation together. we have followed through for about 15 years.. We have known each other since first grade. We will be friends forever!!!!!!! We live in NY, Florida and Virginia. We miss each other always.
May 15, 2012 at 04:28 pm

Lost my hubby almost four years ago and just got out of the depression a few months ago and I lost alot of weight and I have a new zest for life again .This trip going to the Sonnenalp resort sounds awesome and so relaxing and fun , excited ,hope to win!
May 15, 2012 at 04:23 pm
I have had some of the greatest times with my girlfriends when we've dedicated a whole afternoon or evening to creating Vision Boards. It's so much fun to find pictures and words for each other and watch the Boards unfold.
May 15, 2012 at 04:23 pm
I learned many years ago that my girlfriends are a true blessing in my life and without each one of them, my life would have been entirely different and the challenges we all faced would have been much more difficult to work through to the other side. My favorite activity: Honoring these timeless, remarkable friendships. It doesn't matter what we're doing as long as we're together. We lift each other up; we laugh and cry together; we listen to each other's dreams; we empower one another; and we love each other. These are my favorite activities.

May 15, 2012 at 04:02 pm
We love to shop andelf course we love to start or end our excisions with dining at a lovely restaurant.
May 15, 2012 at 03:57 pm
Dinner and catching up, or tea and catching up, just relaxing somewhere and checking in with our lives, our children - our wishes, our worries, daily liofe and how we each live each day to the fullest - and still find time for each other!

Going out to dinner and a show in downtown Wilmington, NC. We hire a van to drive us all in together so we don't have to worry about drinking and driving. We have so much fun. I have the best friends in my neighborhood!
May 15, 2012 at 03:54 pm

May 15, 2012 at 03:52 pm
Putting on swishy skirts, a little wine, blasting 70's music and dancing!!! We have a meal of course, but the dancing (via Soul Train line) is the best.
May 15, 2012 at 03:50 pm
Walk and talk, we can walk anywhere, up anything, through anything and never stop gabbing and laughing. We love when we get to be outdoors, as summer is so short here. Just being together, relaxing as we walk and talk...there's a special closeness to it. Gives us time to share our thoughts, our problems, our happiness...and just be together. And when we can top it off with a light bite and drink..(and of course some chocolate) even better. I have been very lucky to have a special group of friends who meet regularly, we call ourselves LNO (Ladies Night Out) and have been well spoiled and treated to good time by them all. If I could be the one to share such as a fabulous treat with them, it would make me so happy. I owe them all thanks.

The favorite activity for the girls and I is to take a day off to the spa. Hair, nails and a massage, especially after a hard week is ultra-refreshing and faboverfifty. Most times after this, we dress up and go on the town for dinner and a show. It's like having a special holiday just for us!
May 15, 2012 at 03:46 pm
Spend the day in Amish Country eating, shopping and riding around enjoying the peaceful scenery of a bygone time.
May 15, 2012 at 03:45 pm
We love to get together at the local bistro and gab!!
May 15, 2012 at 03:43 pm
coment our writings and life stories
May 15, 2012 at 03:28 pm
Relax over a good meal!!
May 15, 2012 at 03:28 pm
My girlfriends and I worked together for many years at the Department of Veterans Affairs. We continue getting together for lunch and home tours, and always look for something unusual and different to do. We would be beyond excited to win such a trip to Vail.
May 15, 2012 at 03:26 pm
Wine tasting (or gulping) would be my favorite activity with girlfriends.
May 15, 2012 at 03:20 pm
I love to do a girls weekend away - for fun and excitement I go to NYC with a best friend for a weekend of museums, restaurants and walking the high line. for R&R: A spa weekend up in the mountains or down in the tropics, or a restful yoga/meditation retreat to replenish and re-group is essential. Even a casual Thursday night dinner with the girls for Sushi and support can be enough to satisfy the craving for 'girl time.'
It's so critical to our mental, spiritual and physical health maintain a "team" of girls that come together to laugh, cry or out and out scream! I have at least 6 very close girlfriends who I see as often as possible. My life would not be as rich without them. Deb
May 15, 2012 at 03:18 pm
My gal pals love to share conversation while walking and think up projects to do together.
May 15, 2012 at 03:18 pm
Love to go camping and leave the hustle and bustle of life at home.
May 15, 2012 at 03:17 pm
Putting our feet up on the balcony watching the ocean from our spa resort!
May 15, 2012 at 03:16 pm
It would be a beautiful bonding experieince to spend quality time with my friends. Being pampered in a luxurious repsort sounds heavenly!
May 15, 2012 at 03:15 pm
We like to share a glass of wine and just talk about everything and anything. It is when we heal our souls.
May 15, 2012 at 03:15 pm
Wining, dining, spa'ing & shopping!
May 15, 2012 at 03:14 pm
This is the best time of our lives. We're mature enough to know what we want out of life and feel young enough to enjoy it. Oh, did I add the kids are all grown and it's ME time!
May 15, 2012 at 03:10 pm
Sharing changes & helpful lessons for the upcoming decade while enjoying cocktails :)
May 15, 2012 at 03:09 pm
When I get together with a girlfriend we go shopping, to the movies, try out a restaurant or even travel! It is fun to just let your hair down just between us girls!
May 15, 2012 at 03:08 pm
Travel, talk, and of course shopping!
May 15, 2012 at 03:08 pm
Eat, drink and travel. Reminese about the "good old days" and wish we knew then what we do now.
May 15, 2012 at 03:05 pm
Just sit around and catch up when we haven't been around each other (since some live in other cities)
Laugh non-stop as only we can :)
With the ones in same city, have fun on outings, dinner, dancing, shopping...ooh lala :)
May 15, 2012 at 03:03 pm
Just hanging at someone's house, gabbing. No agenda, lots of laughs.
May 15, 2012 at 03:02 pm
JUST ONE?! SO HARD TO CHOOSE; THERE ARE SO MANY. DAY(S) AT THE BEACH.
May 15, 2012 at 03:01 pm
Mini-Vacation is a new city or reuniting back in our hometown: great hotel, (a little) morning exercise, outdoor dining, seeing the city's signature sights, shopping, pool or beach, a little spa, dinner and staying up all night (even at our age!!)
May 15, 2012 at 03:00 pm
We love to look at pictures when we were in high school and college!
May 15, 2012 at 03:00 pm

The four of us work together in customer service at the local phone company. We have a great time at work, but would love to "play" together at this resort!
May 15, 2012 at 02:52 pm
Anything I do with my girlfirends nourishes my mind and spirit. Time with women is a necessity of life.
May 15, 2012 at 02:52 pm

May 15, 2012 at 02:42 pm
Our favorite things to do together are eat, chat and shop! This would be perfect!!
May 15, 2012 at 02:39 pm
Booksignings at children's book festivals, followed by a delicious meal with a celebratory bottle of vino!
May 15, 2012 at 02:34 pm
We love to talk, talk, talk--kind of the same as in middle school. It's way more than the men in our lives can tolerate. But we never get tired of it.
May 15, 2012 at 02:33 pm
Playing cards, going to Karaoke and singing, cooking together, sharing our favorite shows we watch on TV, such as Desperate Housewives, and going out to eat at The Olive Garden!!
May 15, 2012 at 02:33 pm
Star gazing, storm watching and midnight swimming in the lake.
A bottle of nice Proseco is never sniffed at either.
May 15, 2012 at 02:31 pm
My favorite activity with my girlfriends is ver simple. Just going to one of our homes, having wine and appetizers and catching up. Sometimes we discuss our problems, sometimes just everyday things. It always includes music and laughter - and very much love and appreciation for each other.
May 15, 2012 at 02:29 pm
We love to have a nice lunch and then get mani/pedis. Lots of catching up in between and some relaxation time that we all need so badly.
My girlfriends and I work in the animal welfare, nonprofit sector and it's tough work with very little "me" time. An occasional day away to pamper ourselves is so important to deter "compassion burnout" which takes down so many in this type of nonprofit work.
A weekend in Vail would be heavenly!
May 15, 2012 at 02:28 pm
I love to shop, talk/gossip and eat with my friends!
May 15, 2012 at 02:26 pm

We do "Girls Weekends" several times a year.
It could be a long weekend in Atlanta @ Embassy Suites with margaritas & outlet shopping. Or it could be a Friday(happens a lot now) when my sister & I do yoga then Starbucks. Or a day spa in Chattanooga (we have the best) to get massages for our B-days. We have been seen in Seattle(space neddle), Charleston (buggy ride), Gulf Shores (beach), Nashville (Grand Ole Opry), Ashville (Biltomore), Charlotte (grandkids-not mine), Pigeon Forge (Tanger outlet shopping), and many more cities (spas,coffee, chocolate).
Vail woul be one to mark off of our bucket list!
