Yes, this book is about taking Getaways
with your Girlfriends, both extravagant and
short "evening, in the neighborhood"
getaways - but it is also a book about living
a more extraordinary life.

There are a couple truths I have discovered in
my own life and travels with girlfriends that
spoke to me as soon as I casually thumbed
through this compelling book.

The first is: "Road trips can save you big bucks
in therapy." AMEN to that!

The second is: "Before going on a roadtrip,
practice calling shotgun in a loud, persuasive voice."
(I loved that one!)

And..... the other truths pepper the pages.. I even found
a quote from Mary Oliver that leaped from the
page and has shed light on my entire day
ever since I read it:

"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your
one wild and precious life" Mary Oliver.

Each Getaway includes "The Girlfriends" (who
inspired the entry); "The Mission" (why invest
your time, effort and energy on the getaway)
and then "The Getaway" itself - also known
as the Story of The Getaway.

Author Pam Grout includes ooodles of web-
resources and a wide variety of getaways for
you and your friends to enjoy immediately.

Prepare to live with more zest and joy
than you may have thought possible....

I had gotten her other book about vacations thought this would be the same. Giving idea's on trips to take with girlfriends. Oh NO this is just short chapters of her girlfriends trips that they have taken. The stories were not that interesting and was very disappointed. Her book on where to take vacations is amazing and several friend have read it also so we were all so excited and ready to plan girlfriend gets a ways NOT!

This book arrived fast and good as new, i enjoyed reading this book very much. thanks
