Last month, my girl and I went on vacation. I don’t mean one of those working trips where we had to show our faces at multiple venues across a week’s time, take pictures and schmooze VIPs. I mean a real, sit on our asses and only do what we feel like doing vacation. No cell phones, no computers, no moms, no kids, no dogs, no work. Just us, overlooking the ocean, in paradise, for seven whole days. And we did it surrounded by women.
Over the years I have heard critics talk about the downsides of traveling with the companies who provide this type of trip. Usually, the one thing that is said over and over again is that it costs more money to go with one of those companies than if you go to the same place without them. Sometimes, that is true. But I have to tell you, it’s one of those things where once you’ve done it, you never want to have to do it any other way.
There is an amazing feeling of freedom that comes from being on a real women who love women’s vacation. You walk hand-in-hand every time you leave your room. When you spontaneously decide to play “Dancing With The (Non) Stars” in the lobby, everyone who walks by smiles and mentions how cute “you two are together.” You don’t even think twice about grabbing a smooch in the pool or hot tub or snuggling up in the same chaise lounge to watch the sunset.
Put that together with entertainment, music and comedy for and by women. And women, from all over the world who, like you, just want to have that same freedom. We came away from this trip not only rejuvenated, refreshed and romanced, but also with several new friends who touched our hearts and will be in our lives for years (and trips) to come.
Yeah, you can hop on that same cruise line or run off to the same resort for a few bucks less. But it won’t be the same, I can promise you that. Paradise isn’t really paradise if it doesn’t come with the ability to enjoy it to the fullest with the woman you love. And really, isn’t she worth a few bucks more? Mine sure is. Don’t let me make you look bad.
So, give it a shot. I promise it’s so worth it and afterwards, like me, you will never want to do it any other way. Feel free to send me a postcard from paradise!

See you next month,
Tina Sordellini
