In the ever increasing pace of our busy lives, it is very easy to lose touch with those closest to you.  Whether it is your best friend, your mother or your sister, it is so important to take time out of your hectic routine (whether it means running endless carpools or balancing board meetings with soccer schedules) to reconnect with your loved ones.

Here are just a a couple of ideas for a quick getaway with the girls that will not blow your budget but will leave you feeling recharged and ready to face the world again!

Las Vegas Luxury

These days, Sin City offers so much more than just 24/7 gaming and junky midnight buffets.  In recent years, Las Vegas has truly emerged into truly a world-class destination offering THE best of everything, ranging from award winning spas to Broadway shows to top-rated dining from countless celebrity chefs.  And if shopping is your thing, designer boutiques abound from the Forum Shops at Caesar's to the outlets a short cab ride from town.  Finally, if you have had enough of manmade fun, take in the area's natural beauty with a picnic in the nearby Red Rocks Canyon or hop on a helicopter tour of the Grand Canyon.  Based on double occupancy, the price below includes roundtrip nonstop air from Memphis and 3 nights room and tax at one of the finest hotels in Las Vegas. 

  • Mirage $347 pp for 3 nts  
  • Wynn Las Vegas $375 pp for 3 nts (includes bonus $75 resort credit!) - enormous resort view room with floor to ceiling windows
  • Bellagio $610  pp for 3 nts in an elegant and spacious SUITE  - the pinnacle of luxury and my personal favorite (fountains will mesmerize you and spa to die for!)

Travel/RiuPalaceRivieraMayaExterior.jpgUnder the Mayan Sun

With its easy access (inc nonstop service from Memphis) and sunny beaches, the Riviera Maya offers the perfect quick girls' getaway destination. If you are not content to bask in the Caribbean sun, shop til you drop in Playa del Carmen, explore the ancient Maya ruins, or take a unique snorkeling trip through the famed cenotes. The beautiful all-inclusive Riu Palace Riviera Maya is one of my clients' favorites for a quick and affordable getaway.

Based on double occupancy, the price below includes roundtrip nonstop air from Memphis, three nights in a gardenview jr suite, all meals and drinks (milk to margaritas!), miscellaneous activities (such as water aerobics and use of catamarans), nightly shows, and rt airport transfers. 

  • Gardenview jr suite from $899 pp for 3 nts

Paradise at The Plaza NYC

The world-famous Plaza Hotel is back better than ever and once again sets the standard for luxury in New York City!  I recently treated myself to this old grande dame and was blown away by the spacious and beautiful new accommodations which include 24 karat gold fixtures throughout the luxurious bathrooms.  This hotel's address at the intersection of Central Park South and Fifth Avenue makes it the ideal base from which to explore Manhattan, whether it means shopping til you drop or overloading on Broadway shows!  If you prefer to stay around the hotel, indulge in brunch at the Oak Room or "see and be seen" at the new lobby champagne bar or Rose Club.  Your personal butler is there to attend to your every need 24/7.

Travel/PlazaBathroom.jpgTravel/PlazaBathroom.jpgThanks to our affiliation with Virtuoso, this summer I am able to pass on an exceptional offer to my clients when they stay at The Plaza.  Our rate includes a free third night and guaranteed upgrade when booking a suite, daily full breakfast, and a $100 food and beverage credit.  Based on double occupancy, the rate below includes these amenities, roundtrip nonstop air from Memphis, hotel room and tax, and all fees for 3 nights. 
  • Rose Suite $1079 pp for 3 nts
