Travel is a desirable luxury for many people. It can be difficult to work into your budget. If you are pining for a getaway for yourself, or with girlfriends, consider looking for some cheap getaways for women. Think outside the box. While you may not be able to take a luxurious vacation to Paris, there are many ways to have an enjoyable time by taking a road trip near you or a short flight to a fabulous city. Even taking an out-of-town trip to a theater or a spa weekend in a nearby city is a cheap way to pamper yourself.
Charleston, South Carolina
- If you are located on the East Coast, take a trip down to Charleston, Carolina. There are budget-friendly accommodations at both the Doubletree and the French Quarter Inn in Charleston. If you are with your girlfriends, arrange for a carriage ride through downtown Charleston. Arrange for a pampering spa visit, and a visit to any number of high-quality restaurants. It is an ideal destination for a girl's weekend.
Phoenix, Arizona
- For women closer to the Southwest, take a trip to Phoenix, Arizona for a getaway. It is a cheaper option than a bigger city such as Los Angeles. Yet Phoenix offers a lot of fun activities for women. Stay at a moderately priced hotel, such as the SpringHill Suites, located in downtown Phoenix. Then book a massage and pedicure at a day spa for relaxation. For outdoor fun, go horseback riding.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is filled with culinary delights, and tends to be less pricey than other East Coast cities, such as Boston or New York City. Make your way to the restaurant Chifa, a Peruvian-Cantonese restaurant, to try something new and exotic. Philadelphia is filled with nightclubs, bars and just about anything you are looking for.
Transportation
- To find the best prices for cheap travel arrangements, such as flights or buses, either plan the getaway well ahead of time, or at the last minute. It is likely that you can easily find last-minute flights to cities such as Charleston and Philadelphia. Finding cheap flights is more likely if you keep your travel times and dates flexible. If you are on a seriously tight budget, drive instead to a nearby city.
