Need some more ideas for a girlfriend get-a-way? Read below formore ideas that may have you thinking about a romantice or family get-a-way! Charleston, SC Charleston is easily one of America’s most exciting foodie destinations—not only for its restaurant scene but also for its culinary tours and cooking classes. With Charleston Cooks!, for instance, you can tackle comfort food classics like grits with garlic greens and chicken and sausage gumbo. Make your reservations now for renowned locavore-centric restaurants Husk and Fig. After dinner, plan to hit the Social Wine Bar and Butcher & Bee for a late-night scene that draws chefs on their off nights for light bites and BYOB. Maui, HI Finally, an irresistible exercise regime: yoga in the morning, a healthy lunch of tuna poke, seaweed salad, and fresh coconut water, then back to the beach for a sunset paddle. No swanky gym can compare to the gorgeous backdrop of Hawaii, where hotels promises yoga, surfing, and all kinds of exercise instruction. Bringing along your favorite, sportiest girlfriends only helps with the motivation and fun factor. Scottsdale, AZ If your pursuit of happiness involves health and wellness treatments, look no further than Scottsdale—where you can hop from one world-class spa (Golden Door at Boulders) to another (The Westin Kierland Resort & Spa) to another (the brand-new Well & Being at Willow Stream Spa). All that ahhhh time deserves a little indulgence of the gastronomic variety too. Brooklyn, NY Manhattan will always be fabulous—why not see what the current Brooklyn hype is about? Browse the borough’s trendy neighborhoods, starting at Brooklyn Flea, eye-candy overload with vintage clothing, antiques, jewelry, and local art (open weekends in Fort Greene and Williamsburg). In Williamsburg, hit Catbird for awesome accessories, many priced around the $50 mark, and scour 1950s and ’60s vintage French and Italian designer castoffs at Grand Street’s Fille de Joie. And to really Brooklynize your look, stop into the Dear Fieldbinder boutique in Cobble Hill. Delray Beach, FL Fly into Miami or Fort Lauderdale, then head north for this more chilled-out, charming seaside town. Lined with tangles of sea grapes and mostly devoid of high-rise hotels, the beach here is one of Florida’s best (and the stomping ground of many a handsome board-toting kite surfer when the onshore winds cooperate). Swing by Joseph’s Wine Bar for tastings paired with Mediterranean food, and close out the night at the Blue Anchor Pub. DC For ladies looking to shop until they drop, The Collection at Chevy Chase (dubbed the East Coast version of Rodeo Drive) features 112,000 square feet of high-end boutiques on Wisconsin Avenue, just outside DC in Chevy Chase, Md. Retailers include Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Jimmy Choo and a multi-level Ralph Lauren store modeled after the interior of a luxurious mansion.
