New Rule: Spend Some Quality Time with Girlfriends


By Abbie Kozolchyk

By now you've probably realized that -- no matter what your age -- girlfriends rock. The good ones grow with you, seeing you through outrageous haircuts, demanding jobs, rotten boyfriends, screaming babies and more. The trouble is, with all that going on, you only get to see them for the occasional lunch or dinner. Sometimes you need a few days to really get your laughing, gossiping and secret-spilling fix. So whether you prefer to bond on a gorgeous beach, over a relaxing mani-pedi or while running the rapids, here are five chick trips made better by having your own personal fan club in tow.

If You Love Sand And Surf
Let the laid-back vibe on Oahu set the tone for your getaway.
If You Like Gourmet Camping
If the only thing keeping you from a rafting trip is the hot-dogs-on-a-stick campfire cuisine, it's time to pack your waterproof bags.
If You Want To Shop
This luxurious hotel is only a two-minute walk from the Magnificent Mile, Chicago's tourist-packed yet upscale shopping nirvana.
If You're Into Watersports
Built on a former coconut-tree plantation, the newly renovated Buccaneer's Creek is framed by pristine white-sand beaches and lush green trees.
If You Like Tackling Trails
Crisscrossed with trails -- and warm all winter long -- Tucson is one of the best places for hikers.
