Girls-Only Getaway to Paradise

The day I gave birth to my daughter was the day I bid farewell to girls-only vacations. (Unless, of course, you count our mother-daughter trips to visit grandma and grandpa in Hawaii as girls-only getaways.) At this point in my life I can’t imagine jetting off to a tropical locale (not even my hometown of Hilo) with a group of gal pals for some much needed R&R. Still, I must admit, the travel packages designed for women-only, which are constantly being advertised on the Travel Channel are enticing. The one I found most appealing is being offered by Maui’s upscale … Continue reading →

Last Minute Travel Gift Ideas for Mother’s Day

Forget about the sirloin steak dinner and singing greeting card. Ditch your desire to shower her with coffee mugs and candy.
