What Are GREAT Women's Vacations?

Simply put, great experiences!!

Remember those road trips with your family? Your Dad at the wheel - and the only goal was to "make good time" from point A to point B.

There could have been quaint towns, historic sites, or scenic views along the way, but there was no time for that! Dad had to get "X miles" in before sunset!

That is not a woman's vacation.

Spas, shopping, sightseeing- that's a woman's vacation.

We like unusual vacations - glamping anyone? - and stretching our boundaries. We want to try something new, something we don't usually have time for - painting, surfing, beading or scrapbooking - that's a woman's vacation.

Spending time with friends, your mother, your daughter, your sisters - that's a woman's vacation.

"Girlfriend getaways" are women's vacations - relaxing with your friends and catching up on their lives as you have a facial at a spa, taking a cooking class together, or touring a new city.

Or maybe it's a mother daughter vacation. Once your daughter is grown and on her own, time together becomes scarce - and oh, so special!

A "sisters trip" is a also a great women's vacation - I travel with my sisters and we have a great time together.

Vacations for women focus on re-connecting with those close to you. Taking time away from the daily grind, and making time for those you love.

No matter who you travel with, a great women's vacation is about the experience!

How do you find these experiences?

At Great Women's Vacations (and TripDiva Travel), we've done the searching for you.

As you explore this site, you will find a world of ideas for a stimulating, rewarding vacation experience.

Learn to paint, play tennis, cook Thai food, or speak Italian (in Italy, of course!).

• Relax at a spa or learn to surf.

• Follow the legend of the Da Vinci Code on a Parisian walking tour, or learn about Victorian architecture in San Francisco.

• Do your Christmas shopping while cruising the Danube.

• See the New Seven Wonders of the World and start marking those "1000 Things to See" off your list!

And we have plenty of other resources to make planning your vacation easier:

Find out about passports and other documents, navigating the airport, saving money on your trip, how and what to pack, tipping and etiquette in foreign countries, the weather at your destination, and more.

Share your stories and ideas with us. What was your dream trip? Is it one you've already taken, or one that's still to come? Where did you go? What did you do? What did you learn? Tell us about it!
