Now, this is something that I plan every
year and I have to tick it off year-on-year. The fad started when I began
reading more articles on solo traveling and stuff. While, I’m still not
comfortable taking a trip all alone (I don’t fear it but I feel a company would
make the trip much better), taking a trip with my girls has done so much more
to my soul than I ever thought it would do.
This is something I always
look forward to. Sometimes, because of work, A (husband) gets stuck and we’re
not able to go around together, but the travel bite in me keeps pestering to
take the trip even if it means going without him. I don’t know why, but the
idea of going out from the city entices me a lot.
Last year, I took a trip to
Kasol with my sister revelation. We learned a lot of things on the trip, which
I barely think about when I go with the husband.
Then there was another trip
to Calcutta with the ladies in the house (it was my MIL and SIL). More than me,
it was them who were more than happy to go without their husbands. It was the
first time for them in so many years of their marriage and that trip kind of
opened their courage for more trips without their husbands: P
This year, after being stuck
in the regular routine along with battling a lot of on stress, I finally gave
in to the idea of taking a break from everything and just have some time to
myself without giving second thoughts to it.
I’m happy that I have that
kind of friends who’re there for you when you really want to be with them and
would travel miles just to have each other’s company. This trip was to Bombay
and Pune! It was nostalgic and rejuvenating! At least for me. And them, of
course… I guess.

It mended certain irreparable things and this came as a
total surprise! Everything went well and left us to look forward to more such
trips.
Wherever you are, whatever is happening in your life, try
to find a way and take a trip with your girls… it will heal your soul in ways
you never knew ever existed. And if you have already taken one, then don’t
stop… keep this ritual alive and see wonders happening to yourself.
Cheers
Aww, so lovely! I have never been on an all girls trip...sighh! But feeling so tempted after reading your accounts. Indeed I am sure it would be a lot more fun on such girls trips than regular family trips. Fun read this Geetika!
ReplyDeleteSame here. I have never stick around quite long enough to make bunch of girlfriends to travel with. After reading this, I feel like calling up my highschool people for a trip :)
Deleteapsster @ Little Heart Speaks
Yes, it surely is Kala! And take that trip without thinking much! It is going to be so much fun, you have no idea!
DeleteCheers
Please... without delaying further and giving it a second thought! You should definitely go for it!
DeleteCheers
Yaayyy to sisterhood. It's so much fun travelling with girls, specially when they are as adventurous as you. I miss my girlfriends a lot here
ReplyDeleteHaha! Even if they are not, it's just fun to carry them along and have some company ;)
DeleteCheers
Girl trip is something that has been in the works for ages. After reading your post, I have got a new zeal to push for it :)
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to learn about that!
DeleteCheers
Aww..I so want to do this thing....go on a trip with my girls - your post has tempted me to seriously contemplate taking such a trip some day soon!
ReplyDeleteGood and happy to hear that Shilpa... I'm sure you won't regret it! You should surely take a trip dear and have the time of your life!
DeleteCheers
That's so cool! I must do this! I've never been on an all girls trip! Must go on one soon!
ReplyDeleteReally? Plan it soon and experience the joy!
DeleteCheers
Lovely post. We are planning one next month and I agree trips with our girl gang are the best ones. @momtasticworld(Kavita)
ReplyDeleteThat sounds incredible! All the best for your trip! I hope you take more and more in the future!
DeleteCheers
Oh yes, traveling with the girl gang is amazing. Breaking free from the routine and doing things that we love doing together and non-stop chatter and laughter is truly liberating and enjoyable. I recently went on a trip with my sisters and we had some cool fun. And guess what, I wrote about solo trips for Day 2.
ReplyDeleteYes, I read the post and you have pushed me real good to take that solo trip!
DeleteTrips are always fun... with or without anyone, right?
Cheers
Its a purely fun feeling to go on a girlie trip and even better if its by road in a self driven vehicle!! I am missing my besties now.... sigh!
ReplyDeleteAwww.. give them a call and plan a trip soon!
DeleteI'm sure you can do that!
Cheers
Oh I've done it once - a two-day trip, it was the most fun. We try to go for at least a dinner or a coffee and that is so very invigorating.
ReplyDeleteYes... I think I remember reading that post! Actually, some alone time for ourselves does wonders to our souls... imagine what would a trip do!
DeleteCheers
Good you go out on your own and leave the poor husband at peace. I started out last year too. And now I am bitten by the bug. I mostly go with my sons.
ReplyDeleteHaha.. Lol... That is actually making me pity my husband :P
DeleteI have this thing in my head to take trips with my children (whenever I have them) again, without the husband! ;) :P
Cheers
