Thinking about traveling with girlfriends? Had a difficult journey with friends in the past?September is a special month around Girlfriendology – it’s International Women’s Friendship Month (aka: #FriendshipMonth) and we’re celebrating with 30 great guest blogs filled with fabulous girlfriend advice and wisdom.
Having trotted the globe with my best friend, I have a few bits of advice to share that have helped us over some rough spots as well as to avoid future bumps in the road (or the air, whichever the case may be).
1. Decide what does and does not work for you before you firm up plans. Some of my friends are okay with sharing a room (or even a bed) for the sake of economy—some are not. Some of us rock stand-by and pray for those Read More
We’ve all been through tough breakups, and we’ve certainly all tried to help our girlfriends struggle through the tears and fears of moving on. Rainy Day Diva Girlfriend Denise Johnson gives some great advice for getting past the rough patches and falling in love with life all over again.It doesn’t matter how it happens: phone call, sticky note, text message, argument, or papers served—the fact is breakups happen. Whether we were blissfully happy or trying to make it work, dealing with a breakup is never easy.
Since grade school we’ve been led to believe that we should have a boyfriend and a happy-ever-after. Ever since our Read More
Do you have family or friends that live far from you? And do you find your visits with them are overshadowed by daily activity so that you miss a lot of the “girlfriend” time?Girlfriend Guru and travel guide Janet DeVito (who lead our recent ‘Girlfriend Cruise‘ which was excellent!) tells of her recent family visit — and reminds us why “getting away” is the key to getting back our “girlfriend time” in this Girlfriendology guest blog:
I am excited. Right now I am sitting on a Continental flight to South Carolina to visit my Sister and Mom who live there. I don’t get to see them often, as I live in NJ, so when I get a chance to fly down to SC, I know it is going to be a great time! The only drawback is the pressure of time. (My mom is already complaining that I am stopping on my way there to see a friend.)
I have great visions of how fun it will be to Read More

Do you have a girlfriend group? Do you play Bunco? Have a Book Club? Invest $, Craft or Exercise – together?Do you get together with your girlfriends on a regular basis and have a ‘purpose’ to your group? (For example: reading, knitting, Bunco or movies.) Do you have a fun name for your group and possibly rituals that only girlfriends in your group know? Are you closer with these friends because of your group and the fun times you’ve shared together?
Having a fun set of friends, with a common purpose/bond, and meeting with them on a regular basis to do something fun is a great way to turn acquaintances into friends and friends into BFFs. Kinda like we were kids and we had our own ‘club,’ there’s just something special about Read More
“Improve your marriage. Leave your husband.”The magazine ad copy for travel to Gulf Shores, Alabama gets your attention, doesn’t it. The copy continues with: “Spend a few days with the girls soaking up a little sun on the beautiful sugar-white sand of Gulf Shores and Orange Beach. By the time you get back, he’ll want you more than ever.” Read More
