Pick your destination
This is the hard part, but it’s also the funnest (sorry, you win some, you lose some). You need to decide which destination is going to give you and your girlfriends everything you’re looking for in a holiday, so you should spend a while thinking about this. Somebody may have to compromise here, especially if they’re the only person wanting to go on a skiing trip. Sorry, but you’ll only be needing your bikini this time if everybody else is looking to catch some rays during your ultimate girls-only trip.

Budget, and budget some more
You’re going to need some dough if this is going to be the holiday that you’ve all been waiting for, but it may not be as stressful as you think. If you can sort out your monthly budgeting, then you’ll have a lot more than you expected when your trip actually comes around, so hold back on the Starbucks lunches for a few months if you really want to see the difference. If you’re a budgeting novice, then getting a budget app is a good place to start.

Decide how you’re going to get around
Hiring a car could add to the fun of your best friend getaway, but if your girls are fond of some lunchtime cocktails, then it probably isn’t the best idea. Plan everything ahead, and make sure that you all have the budget to cover the transportation for the duration of your holiday. You don’t have to hire a personal driver to get you around, but if you need to get cabs, then look into how much your plans are going to cost you, and whether they’re practical. Check out options on Uber and other apps.

Choose whether a package deal suits you
A package holiday could be a good idea if you and your girls know what you want, and where you want to stay. They don’t have to be all-inclusive of food and drinks if you want to explore the local area instead, but if you simply want to relax and have a good chit-chat for a week, then recharging your batteries with a package holiday may be a good idea. Obviously, this may not work out if you all want to go to Tbilisi, but for more conventional holidays, look into the package deals out there.

There is definitely a list of things to consider when booking a holiday with your girlfriends, but whatever you choose, have a great time! Remember, those moments are keepsakes for your heart.
