  Traveling with your mate is really nice too. Different in so many ways, but still nice. We went to New York, barely four days after I returned from Mexico with my girlfriends. I put away my bathing suit, took out my turtle necks, gloves, and coat. My husband had to be there for a board meeting and coincidentally, it was our anniversary. This time, no lounging by a pool or walking on a beach, but instead, walking up and down Madison avenue, meeting with friends for lunch and dinners, and having champagne in the room on the night of our anniversary. We saw plays, went to La Galue, (we like it so much, we went there twice), and brunch at Fred's. We shopped from Bergdorfs to Zara's on 59th. We took taxis, Uber's, napped, had breakfast sent up, and read the Sunday paper. It was an easy New York trip. We didn't rush to museums or run down to the village, we walked mostly everywhere, and it all felt very familiar. We stayed at the Regency Hotel where we had been married 28 years ago (we think). Could that much time have passed by? The answer is yes. In a trip with a man, you don't get to pour your souls out but you do get to hold hands. It was nice, and comfortable, and sweet.
I'm lucky I got to do both. I'll take it.

  I love going out of town with my husband. We find a part of us that unfortunately is sometimes forgotten. We remember how much fun it is to be together and how great it is to meet new people, learn new things and reestablish our relationship. But then there is a girl’s get away trip and that is exactly what it is! You get away from your reality, mates, dogs, errands, etc. and in this you go right into someone else’s vacation reality. So when my friend Teri asked Judy and I to come to her fabulous house in Mexico for her birthday, we both jumped at the chance. There were other girls invited who could not make it so Judy and I lucked out to have Teri and the house to ourselves! It is a breathtaking house on a magnificent strip of beach and I am always blown away by every detail and the exquisite taste that went into the making of this house. On a girl’s trip, there is no makeup, no hairdo, and a lot of talking, laughing and sometimes some tears. Even though one might have brought the perfect clothes, you end up wearing the same thing in one variation or another, every day. You eat whenever, nap whenever, swim in the aqua pool and the warm ocean and then nap some more. Oh yes, there is lot’s of reading and noshing happening too. We watched a little news and we talked about everything from Judge Kavanaugh to Sally Field’s love life. As an added bonus with this gorgeous house, there is a fabulous spa right down the beach where we would receive our daily treatment (massage, stretching, acupuncture and yoga). One day we actually made it into Zihuatanejo for a little lunch and shopping. Of course, we celebrated Teri’s birthday at the Present Moment (the name of the spa, who by the way has wonderful food) with Tequila and cake. It’s a different vacation with a man. It’s relaxing, easy and delicious If you haven’t tried it, you must!!! Girls Trip Best Quotes – ‘Today is the last day that we will ever be this young.’  |
