replying to @GenxtravelC @GenxtravelC A4: The person who wants to organize the trip. :) Also, who is the most organized person in your group? That person should probably organize your trip. #GenXTravel

A4: I organize all trips, except for winery days. It was mostly get in the car and see what looks interesting impromptu planning. #GenXTravel

replying to @ManTripping @ManTripping Some do. My husband is a beach guy. If he weren't we may not be married. #GenXTravel

A4: I think it comes from all over - often times a guy sees something he wants to do and then evangelizes the idea till someone else says yes. Other things have the momentum that they become the "annual golf trip". #GenXTravel

replying to @BlackwellTravel @BlackwellTravel @GenxtravelC Its important to have a good organizer but I think its best that they don't over organize. #GenXTravel

A5. Not often enough. But I am on a #GirlsGetaway now. Spending time with an old friend I haven't seen in 20-years. #GenXTravel

A5: Sadly no more, as we've all moved away. There are wineries in FL, but seem to be sweet/fruity wines + not many drinking friends here. #GenXTravel

ManTripping

A5: Personally, I'm blessed - I get to run #MenWhoBlog "Blogger Mancations" 3-4 times per year but for most guys it is an annual trip or every couple years. Two guys I met in Baja last year saved 3 years to do the trip together. #GenXTravel

One of my fav things - is to find a couple that loves to travel - the guys can do their thing and girls can do theirs but also do stuff together as a couple. @Rick_OntheRocks @MommyMusings and @ChickVacations did a "Christmas Market Cruise" with @VikingCruises #GenXTravel

A6: One thing that's really hot is Father Son trips and Inter-Generational Travel. Guys need mentors and a time where they can learn skills, discuss challenges and bond with other men. #GenXTravel

replying to @GenXTraveler @GenXTraveler Themes can be cool but with the right people ... I've always wanted to do a "celebrity theme" - guys dress up, we hire a photographer and walk around NY or LA, go to fancy restaurants and see if people "notice us" :) bahahah #GenXTravel

Q8. Are these trips usually relatively local (a car drive away) or further-flung (another State or Country)? #GenXTravel

A8. I have done #GirlsGetaways that were a couple hours drive as well as ones that were halfway around the globe. It depends on who I'm travelling with and how much time we have, I suppose. #GenXTravel

A8: All local. I can't imagine having more than one person able to travel for more than a weekend or internationally. #GenXTravel

A8: a VERY popular type of trip is a meet up with college buddies - so for instance see an "away game" where a bunch of Red Sox fans travel to Chicago to see the game. Most people probably drive since it's cheaper but the point is to go somewhere beyond normal life #GenXTravel

A9. Most of mine have been about R and R and fun but I have also been on women's retreats that were more focused on self-improvement. #GenXTravel

A9: The purpose was wine! Female bonding/catching up was nice too. #GenXTravel

GenXTraveler

Q10. In your opinion, can a ManTrip or Girls' Getaway be just a pair of friends or does it need to be a larger group to qualify? #GenXTravel

ManTripping

A9: Lots of different objectives but generally not rest and relaxation - it's to blow off steam, get out of the ordinary do stuff you don't do with your family and try new things, be someone new for a few days and just have fun building bonds with male friends. #GenXTravel
