Getting Away From It All With The Boys

If you’re sick of wishing that you could get away with the boys for a weekend, why not consider organizing a special ‘lads only’ trip? Be honest with the wife or girlfriend, tell her that you miss the boys and that you need a bit of freedom – she’ll understand. Then, organize something really special that you’ll remember for a long time to come. You could rent a private island like Spitbank Fort, or enjoy a weekend of whiskey tasting at a country retreat. The choice is entirely up to you. Here are some tips and tricks that you can use to help you organize your getaway with the boys.

Pick A Leader – If there are a lot of big personalities within your group of friends, this might be a little tricky. It can make organizing your getaway much easier, though. The leader of your group will be responsible for making the necessary bookings and keeping all important details and documents together. The chances of losing something vital like your hotel reservation or your travel tickets are greatly diminished, if just one responsible person is in charge of looking after them. Pick the most sensible member of your group and trust that he will book what needs to be booked and bring along the things that need to be brought. If you prefer, you can pick two team leaders. By all means, decide on the details of your trip together – just leave the administrative factors to one or two trustworthy people.

Location, Location, Location – If you haven’t seen the boys for a long time and you really want to catch up, it might be worth going somewhere really exclusive there is a multitude of amazing venues out there to choose from. If you’ve got the cash, why not consider renting out a really fancy location and living it up in total luxury for a weekend? There are few places better suited to a raucous boys weekend than a private island. Spitbank Fort is located in the Solent Strait that separates England from the Isle of Wight – it’s a man made military island that has been converted into a private, luxury retreat. It could be time to treat yourself to something rather special. Let’s face it, who doesn’t want to be waited on hand and foot on their own private island?

What Happens On The Lads Getaway… – All members of your group should be on the same wavelength – there shouldn’t be anybody who wants to run off and inform the missus about every single thing that goes on during your trip. It’s not really a boys getaway if you spend the whole weekend talking about work or your other halves either, say the experts at TravelWithAMate.com. Make the trip about you and your friends. Your girlfriend or wife will be waiting for you at home just as soon as you’ve had enough fun and shenanigans. Remember – what happens on the lads getaway, stays on the lads getaway. It’s cheesy, but it’s true. This does mean that any and all embarrassing photographs have to pass a committee vote before they’re allowed on Facebook or Twitter.
