BACHELORETTE PARTY - PLEASE HELP!
 
Hi all, i have no idea if i spelled bachelorette right, but I have bigger problems!

My best friend is getting married next April, and wants a destination bachelorette party. That's no big deal, but there's about 10 of us included and we all have different budgets!

We are coming from all over - Chicago, NY, Seattle, and LA. The destination is up in the air because we are looking for a good deal.

The bride isn't the party, wild type, so somewhere where there are nice restaurants, spas, golf - basically, somewhere warm.

The trip is going to be over Presidents Day weekend, from Feb 16/17 with a return scheduled for Monday the 20th.

I guess I'm asking if anyone knows of any deals at this time? Any nice all inclusive hotels? Anything to help is greatly appreciated. Man is it hard to make everyone happpy!

Vegas, baby :) Something for everybody to do, every budget. It's not just a gambling place.

Ouch, expensive time to travel.

How about a cruise? That is about the only bargain you'll find booking this far out.

Have you looked at Mexico?

Las Vegas, Phoenix or Sedona, the Keys.

Vegas has everything you mentioned. You don't have to stay out all night and party hard to have a good time there. Go direct to the hotel websites and sign up for some e-mail deals.

That weekend is a pretty busy travel weekend so deals may be few and far between.

Sure Vegas has what you are looking for - but it will NOT be cheap over President's day.

I'd recommend San Diego - it won't necessarily be warm but will likely be pleasant, there is lots to see/do, the scenery is terrific, and you could maybe get a package at the del Coronado or some harborside hotel. It is a long way from some of the guests - but many airlines serve san Diego and fares tend to be reasiable.

I also vote Arizona
nice weather
budget friendly
golf
spas
try "Gold Canyon Resort"
I used to work there a while back and its a beautiful ranch/resort based on golf with exquisit views and animal sightings....Javalina Deer Roadrunner Jack Rabbits etc Its nestled in a rock formation like mountain and is really neat
Its set in a private desert setting and has a great bar & grill as well as a upscale dining area
I believe there are 18 holes and is a more dificult coarse and is quite spendy to play
i can post more links and info if necessary

Good Luck

Just in case your friend is in the mood, I'm ready to pop out of a cake in my string bikini if the party gets rowdy. Ever see a 70-year old man in a string bikini? That'll quiet down any party.

Eewwwwwwwwww, gross!!
I nearly spit my coffee.

Bad boy Wayne. Put your clothes on and back away from the cake......
