Travel Plans

Hi Girls,
I was just looking at flights for Girls weekend has anyone else looked into it? I think I would want to book soon, the prices are starting to vary for some of the flights and I would like to get it while it is still low. I guess it might just be Jenny and I flying in, maybe you other ladies Amy and Katie are close enough to drive. Anyway just wondering what you all are thinking as it gets closer.

Housing Votes


Hey ladies! Hope you all had a great Easter, and Happy Mother's day in advance! Hope you feel lots of love on that day. We are so blessed to be mothers :)

So Katie and Jenny both commented on the below property. I agree it sounds great! I talked with some one about the property and for that weekend it is $225 per night. Grand total with cleaning fee and taxes is $ 982.98.
So split between a minimum of 5 people thats $196 per person.

http://www.vrbo.com/195372 It's 4bed 2 baths with spacious floor plan and private hot tub. It is in Murry right by I15.
Here is the same home via the company's main website. They have better pictures under the virtual tour section.

He also offered another property at $ 200 a night. It is 5 bedroom 2 bath right in downtown SL. It does list hot tub, but I don't see pictures and it is only mentioned once. I think it's a typo. I can check though.


If the above pricing is way too much, the cheapest I could find that might work was a condo for $100 a night. #3 Condo, also in Murray.
It has 2 bedrooms. One bedroom a has a queen and the second has a queen and some twin bunk beds. It also has wifi and video game consoles available.
I would be fine with the condo, I think it could work. The only problem I see is a single bathroom :) It might take ages for us all to get ready and get anywhere. But I would be willing to make it work.

It's your weekend and I want as many people to be able come and have plenty of money to spend on shopping not just housing :)

Let me know which you prefer #1 Murray home with hot tub, #2 Downtown SL home, or #3 condo. I will do my best to wheel and deal these guys down as far as I can.

As soon as I get at least 3 votes for one home (not including myself) I will reserve the home for our weekend.

So get to commenting! I want to hear from all of you :)

P.S. Amy haven't heard from you in a while. What do you think about the housing? Are you still going to make it? Hope so! Karie, Kami, Jenny C, what about you guys? last I knew you were maybes, what's the scoop? I would LOVE to see all of you :)

Tell me what you think :)

Here are some more.

Ok so maybe I am overwhelming you guys with options :) Tell me what you like about the different properties. Their location, features, etc that you think are important and I will try to contact 3 or 4 and find out details. Then post a vote? Does that sound good?

More Options

What about either of these?




They are both just south of sugarhouse area. One only lists a weekly rate so I will have to look into that one.

Input please

Hey Ladies :)

Sorry I have been missing! So bummer we can't use Jenny's dad, but the Girl's weekend must go on :) Since we are so spoiled now and it was so great to have a house all to ourselves. What do you think about a vacation rental in SLC?

Would something along this lines be ok?

I am not sure on it's exact location, but I could call the company and get more info. find a property close to all the things we want to do.

Here is another in the sugar house area....http://www.vacationrentals.com/vacation-rentals/53075.html

If you want to search the websites for more options let me know what you find. I would love some help and input. I want to find a place that will fit our needs and be affordable. With 5 of us going the first property would be around $100 per person if we book it for 3 nights.

What is a good price range for lodging?

What about the spa stuff? Same place or look for a new place?

What about the symphony with Idina Menzel? the seats are $80 per person (the cheap seats are sold out) and if I am going to purchase those I need to know who is coming and if this is something everyone wants to do and to go ahead and purchase them.

Please leave a comment and let me know what you think! Especially about the lodging, we at least need somewhere to stay :)

Can't wait to hear from all of you! :)

Hey Ladies :)

I hope everyone has had a chance to check the dates and put in their ideas. I will list what has been decided so far, at least what I can tell from reading comments :) Please correct me if I'm wrong on something!

Head count
Katie-yes
Jill-yes
Amy-yes
Jenny M.-yes
Rachel-yes

and some Maybes from what I can tell....
Karie
Kami
Jenny Coates

Is there anyone I missed? Or that hasn't had a chance to respond and let us know they are planning to come? So 5 for sure and 3 maybes.

As for what to do :) Its is true that no matter what we do it's always fun! So some ideas that were posted were...

Massage or pampering of the like (pedi/mani etc)
Temple session
movie
cultured event

I think all of those sound great!

A movie and temple session requires minimal planning, at least at this point. So I will ask about the pampering and culture :)

I did find a cultured event the Saturday we are together. I just cut and pasted the info.

Broadway powerhouse and "Glee!" favorite Idina Menzel, the Tony Award-winning "Elphaba" from international blockbuster Wicked, performs for one-night only with the Utah Symphony. With a diverse repertoire of classic pop, Broadway favorites, as well as songs from her album I Stand, India Menzel demonstrates why she is one of the great vocal performers of our time.

So let me know your vote on this event. I think it looks like fun, I am open to new things! I have never been to a symphony so I am in if it's what everyone wants to do. Looks like she was in Wicked and I know that's a fav :) Also relatively inexpensive too!

As far as the pampering....Would you like to go back to the same location? They did offer a wide variety of services and reasonable prices. If you guys want to try somewhere new, let me know and I can do some research.

Finally, Jenny do you think we can plan on staying at your Dad's again? I think everyone mentioned that they would love to stay there again if possible. I just want to make sure it's a 100% thing. Either way let me know, and I can look in to alternatives.

So excited! Please comment and let me know! Can't wait to hear from all of you!
