Margaritas, manicures and your best gal-pals

I remember being perched on the edge of the tub while Mom teased her hair, slathered on her lipstick and shrouded herself in perfume. Times have changed and going out is a whole new experience for women today. Sure, there'll always be date night and business meetings after cocktail hour - but there's also wonderful, magical spas. Add in your girlfriends and you've got the perfect girlfriend experience.

Girlfriend ExperienceGirlfriend ExperienceI love the spa - just ask all the guys who work with me how shameless I am about my need for absolute pampering. But I also happen to love wine, margaritas and my girlfriends. Now I can have it all - without missing a day of work.

Want to get in on the fun? Have a look at these fab spas in Canada and the United States that are making the "Girlfriend Experience" priority number one.

Shag in Boston - If the name doesn't intrigue you, the wine and cappuccinos during treatments will. The best part is how cozy the salon is so catching up on the office gossip while your color sets is totally doable. If you want to get "shagged" check out Shag online.

NiteSpa - This spa comes alive when the stars come out. Bachelorette, birthday or just the ultimate girlfriend experience, isn't it time you treated yourself to the NiteSpa-a-go-Go? Concierge service includes party planning, spa appointments, cocktails and a discount on take-home products. Visit NiteSpa online and rediscover why you just can't live without your girlfriends.

Millcroft Inn - We'll admit that the name isn't as fun as Shag, but if you're in need of a stress-detox, this is the spa to escape to. Hide yourself away in an artist studio, stroll through the picturesque countryside or go antiquing - all between spa appoints, of course. It's a busy spa (lots of city escapees flock here on the weekends!) so book well in advance if you have your heart set on a specific weekend. Visit the Millcroft online for more info.

  • On Canada Goes Green for St. Patrick's Day, Julia Rosien said "Great to meet you as well, Terri. And yes, we adore the Bay of Fundy :-) While I'll agree it's no longer parka weather in your neck of the woods, it's not quite string bikini weather either. Shall we toast to it and let the beer warm us up? Happy St Paddy's Day! Julia"

  • On Canada Goes Green for St. Patrick's Day, Terri said "hey Travel girls, great to hear that you love our Bay of Fundy here on the east coast of Canada as much as you love Tim Horton's ...and, as a Bay of Fundy chick, I love the green tide analogy. For sure, there will be lots of fun times down here around St Paddy's day but I just want to send you a correction to say you certainly won't be needing a parka? to visit at this time of year. It's +8 to +10 degress Celius (that's in the 50s F for our American friends) - definitely well above parka weather. haha So nice that the birds are chirping and the maple sap is flying out of the trees and, ultimately, on to our pancakes. Happy spring! Terri the Bay of Fundy blogger bayoffundy.blogspot.com "

  • On Bonaire - Landsailing or Diving, Ann Phelan said "I love when folks visit our island and immerse themselves in the very cool diversions offered..thanks for sharing."

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Sad and heavy heart said "On a note about the roads of Totrola which are steep, and windy and narrow, all the more reason that tour vehicles should have regular safety checks, SEATBELTS (which dirvers should mandate use or not allow passengers to continue with the tour, driver's should go slow, and Princess Cruise Lines should do extensive background checks, and not hire people with the nick-name of Crash-Dummy."

  • On Tour Bus Crash in Tortola – Caribbean Princess Passenger Dies, Jan said "We were also on the ship with our friends, had spent the day at the beach in Tortola where the slider on my Omega came off, "broke" and lost. I had just purchased it on board the ship the day prior. But nothing can compare to the loss of a family member. The Captain had everyones attention for the announcement. Captain Draper done a great job informing the passengers of the accident. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Rumphrey family."
