Tips for an Epic Girls Trip
- Book accommodations early — Oceanfront condos or group-friendly hotels. Reserve 6–8 weeks ahead for peak season.
- Assign a coordinator — Not the most social girl; someone organized. Handles reservations, timeline, logistics.
- Set budget expectations upfront — Shared meals, activities, tips. Transparency prevents money drama.

- Rent a party limo or charter bus — $300–$500 for evening, split 6–8 ways = $40–$80 per person. Safe, fun, everyone drinks freely.
- Create a group chat — Coordinate timing, share ideas, build excitement. Keeps everyone in sync.
- Take lots of photos — Hire a photographer for one group session, or designate someone to document. Photos are the real trip souvenir.

- Pick shoulder season — April–May or September–October for lower rates, fewer crowds, perfect weather.
