A few years ago I read an article in Real Simple magazine about this group of girlfriends who made a pact to go on one annual trip, which sounds pretty normal and fun, right? But, this gal-pal getaway had a few important and unique twists that caught my eye, leading my group of girlfriends and I to follow suit!
Here are the rules from the article:
1. One or two of the girls planned the entire trip completely solo.
2. Everyone on the trip contributed the same amount of money and gave the money to the planner/s. This meant that regardless of where each girl lived, she paid the same dollar-amount, making it financially fair and square. The chances of the entire group attending became exponentially higher, and girls that lived farther away didn’t have to spend more, which, YES, always happens and isn’t so fabulous.
3. THE ENTIRE TRIP WAS A COMPLETE AND TOTAL SURPRISE. And when. I say that the article called it a surprise trip, I actually mean it. From start to finish- location, flights, activities, food…everything was planned by the planners and was all unknown.
I’m leaving this morning and all I have to go on are these photo clues…I am so lost, it’s not even funny! FYI – we’re not going to Italy…think Domestic (USA). Diana Agron, Italy, a football and the Beatles.
I.AM.SO.LOST.
And I have this email from the ladies planning the trip with our packing list (read to the bottom to see a shout-out specifically to me…yes, I’m wildly irresponsible about jackets).
Hello lovely ladies!
