The concept of the “girls’ getaway weekends” has been gaining popularity in recent years. Regardless if you are married, single, or shall we say “in between relationships, “ it’s always a good idea to squeeze some special bonding time with your gal pals. Palm Springs, CA provides the perfect getaway weekend during the summer months, and visiting there then versus the winter time or peak season can save you as much as 50%. If intense heat bothers you, then it may not be as idyllic. However the dry heat can be very refreshing when you are poolside, and an air-conditioned room is never far away. Although Palm Springs is considered to be a desert, it’s provides an oasis for those retail parched souls. Isn’t it refreshing to shop here knowing that a disgruntled partner isn’t pacing outside! Whether you are shopping for designer apparel on El Paseo or some kitschy home décor items on Palm Canyon Drive, your retail needs will be met in this resort town. If some R&R is more your thing, the spa deals are plentiful. For example, the Viceroy Palm Springs, one of the most luxurious hotels in the region offers a room for less than $250 a night that includes a $40 breakfast credit in addition to a $110 spa credit at the Estrella Spa. The Joshua Tree National Park is also a short drive away, and what would be more memorable than driving through the desert singing along with Bono to the Joshua Tree album? Summer will be over before you know it so it’s time to gather a few of the gals together for a sojourn to Palm Springs. The Bureau of Tourism website www.palm-springs.org links you to all of the area resorts in addition to having a schedule of events.
