If you are like us, you often are looking at great getaways for you and your girlfriends.
Two words girls: GO WEST.
Heather and I are both very very over the crowded, busy, competitive East coast. Who wants to vacation in Boston? Or Cape Cod with all the plaid and tartan and chocolate labs? As if that would be fun.
We say go West. Why? The weather is great; there are tall beautiful mountains and SPACE; there are both cowboys and Indians, and most importantly, there are hot guys. Heather (albeit married) even got her groove on in New Mexico playing pool with some 20 something ranchers from Montana. True men.
Cowboy types.
For an affordable and fun getaway, we vote for New Mexico, the Land of Enchantment per their state motto, but as many people who reside there now told us, it's really the Land of Entrapment. I'm telling you I'm moving there once I get this book deal done.
In Taos, there are mountains, hiking, spas and crunchy granola people who really are off the grid there. No blackberries or iPhones buzzing. You can ski or hike to just go sit in mineral pools like we did. Santa Fe also rocks with excellent silver jewelry hand made by Indians, amazing tamales and margaritas, and tons of excellent shopping.
Plus, again, we met a lot of cowboys. And they far surpass the short, geeky policy wonks I had to live with for years in DC. Yuck.
Other hot spots we recommend: Salt Lake City, Utah or Bozeman, Montana or anywhere (of course) in California.
In sum, the WEST is the BEST.
