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 - actually learning something about the places you visit - that's a woman's vacation.

Trying something new - something you've always wanted to try but didn't have the time to learn - painting, surfing, speaking French - that's a woman's vacation.

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

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.

Great vacations are made up of great experiences.

Think about your favorite vacation. What was great about it?

Was it simply that you "went to Paris"? Or was it visiting the Louvre, having dinner atop the Eiffel Tower, sitting at an outdoor cafe watching the world go by, cruising the Seine....

My favorite vacation happened to be in Hawaii. But what I enjoyed was not just the scenery, it was snorkling, standing on top of the volcano, paying my respects at Pearl Harbor - and sharing it all with my sisters!

How do you find these experiences?

At TripDiva, we've done the searching for you.

While Travelocity is great for flights and hotels, you're not likely to find a yoga retreat, volunteer archaeological dig, or river cruise through Provence.

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

This site is designed to be a one-stop resource for women traveling together. There are ideas for great trips for women, sightseeing tours and excursions, tips and advice for packing and navigating the airport, weather and currency info, products that make your trip easier, and a few “stories from the road”. (We hope you’ll share your tips and stories, too!). And once you’ve gotten the bug, you can book your trip and the activities that truly make it a vacation!

We have some GREAT vacation ideas:

- 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.

But TripDiva isn't just about vacation planning

We're an online community of women, sharing stories and inspiration, tips and resources, to help ALL women achieve their dream trip.

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!

Ready to get started?

Read the stories, get inspired, browse the trip ideas - and plan YOUR dream vacation!
