I just received an email from my sister-in-law asking me what I wanted for Mother’s Day. She traditionally makes her Mother’s Day wish list right after Easter so her note didn’t really catch me off guard. In fact, it gave me the perfect excuse to research girls-only travel deals for moms who are itching for time away from the chaos of everyday life. If you are a mom who is expected to come up with her own gift ideas or you are shopping for a mom who enjoys traveling you might consider the following options:
CALIFORNIA
The Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa is offering a special “Balance” package for ladies whose lives are focused on taking care of everyone but themselves. The deal includes a 50-minute massage for two at the hotel’s 20,000-square-foot Pacific Waters Spa, massage gratuity, and a 10 percent discount on spa purchases. In addition, you’ll get one-night in a room with a private balcony, choice of one king or two queen beds, a large bathroom with a natural-stone countertop, and bathrobes. You will also receive full access to all facilities at the resort, and complimentary valet parking all for $385 per room per night. The deal is good through December 30, 2008.
