I want to highly recommend the post divorce girlfriend getaway! Things to do on a post divorce get away:

Stay in a 5 star hotel

You want to stay in a 5 star hotel because you want to be able to have room service, especially in the morning, so you can laze around in the cushy robe provided to each guest, reading the free newspaper.

In addition, you want to be able to use the spa. Usually five star hotels, such as the Omni Hotel in Washington DC has a spa available where you can indulge in a massage, a facial, reflexology and more.

They have wonderful hammocks in the flower garden out back. I fell asleep for two hours out there and no one bothered me. It was so quiet that I forgot I was in a City. I felt like I was in paradise.

If you go, tell them the Divorce Editor at BellaOnline told you that it was Wonderful, and that the room service was awesome.

Don't be afraid of the cost. Call ahead, ask for a special. Tell them why you're taking the trip, and you never know what they might offer. Also try a service like Priceline.com, and Cheaptickets.com. You don't know what is possible unless you ask.

Celebrate your independence

A city like Washington DC is the perfect place to go on your girlfriend getaway and celebrate your independence. You are a free agent now and you don't have to worry about what he thinks. Next time he takes the kids for a three day weekend, make your break!

There is a lot of culture in Washington DC. You can live in the museums for two weeks and never see the same thing twice.

Aside from the culture, there are inspiring demonstrations of our democracy at work everywhere you look. You can, even post 911; go right up to the gate at the White House.

If you call well enough in advance, you can get a tour of the Whitehouse! You could even make a visit to your local representative if you so choose.

Washington DC also has wonderful public transportation. Don’t be afraid, you can follow the directions and the maps on how to use the Metro and due to the high amount of side walks you can walk most every place that you want to go.

Go with your single friends

Since you are newly divorce it would be best for you to go with others who are also single or newly divorced. You don't want to spend the weekend talking about your girlfriend's boyfriend or husband and how much she misses him. You want to feel young and single and free!

If you don’t know anyone who can go, and you participate in any online discussions invite your online friends to meet you. You would be surprised at how well you’ll get along in real life with someone you have only met on the net. You’ll be like old pals in no time!

If you can get enough ladies to join you, ask for a special group rate at the hotel.

Try going to some of the local clubs, and definitely take in the local flavor, both in the opposite sex and in food. No, don’t go home with anyone, except your girlfriend, but you’re single now, try taking a peek now and then.
