Oprah Has Us Dreaming of Australia

Apparently, "There's Nothing Like Australia" so perhaps that's why Oprah Winfrey announced that she and John Travolta are taking 300 of her Ultimate Viewers to the land down under for 8 days and 7 nights. After watching this great commercial, we've decided to look into deals to the Land of Oz so watch for updates. We'll be adding them to our Australian Getaways page on GirlfriendGetawayPackages.com

Find Fun in a Small Town

Slow down the pace and enjoy life - small town-style with a visit to Flat Rock, NC. Flat Rock is located 22 miles south of Asheville, NC (so it's an easy day trip if you're staying there). Flat Rock is nicknamed "Little Charleston" because wealthy Charlestonians used to escape from the summer heat by retreating to the mountains of NC and to Flat Rock. In town, you'll find "Little Rainbow Row", a collection of shops and eateries in the heart of downtown. Be sure to grab a bite at the Flat Rock Village Bakery or Hubba Hubba Smokehouse - both on Little Rainbow Row. For more details, visit www.visitflatrock.com/Little_Rainbow_Row/index.html

Great Concerts for Girls Getaways

Concerts are a great excuse to plan a girls getaway and though any concert can serve this purpose, there are some that are just perfectly suited. Visit our concerts page and choose from Alanis Morissette, Cher, Madonna, Celine Dion or Barry Manilow, Neil Diamond and Elton John and other great performers.
