A travel trend emerges - Girlfriends' Getaways Boom!

"Girlfriends' getaways" - a new phenomenon where women are traveling with other women and leaving the husbands at home - are booming. Yahoo Travel News has noted a recent surge in the number of women taking adventure trips with other women.

This phenomenon definitely represents a cultural shift. Traditionally, women were the planners of family vacations and it was their responsibility to ensure each family members happiness and satisfaction. Meanwhile, men went camping, fishing or golfing with the guys, while the teens started their own travel with school and/or youth groups.

Now, women are saying, "What about me, it's my turn!" With so many women as part of the current work force, women can now afford to travel on their own. At the same time, these women have moved away from childhood friends and college roommates and they find travel as a way to reconnect and recharge their batteries all at once.

A sailing vacation aboard a private yacht in the picture-postcard destination of the Virgin Islands offers an ideal way for women to reconnect and recharge with their girlfriends. These yacht charters offer professional and pampering crews, luxurious amenities, gourmet cuisine, and plenty of activities or relaxation each day.
