replying to @ManTripping @ManTripping @RealPureFlorida What part of Florida is Punta Gorda? I'm in Ocala. #GenXTravel
replying to @ManTripping @ManTripping @RealPureFlorida My father and his family all lived there. #GenXTravel
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

replying to @ManTripping @ManTripping @VisitIrvingTx @thetravelfool @lunchboxdad @ConsumerKing @TheGentRacer Wonderful. He's a good guy. #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 @VoyagerVicki @VoyagerVicki @RealPureFlorida gulf coast - between Tampa and Fort Myers #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
RT @GenxtravelC: Q5. How often do you schedule these trips? #GenXTravel https://t.co/ltMZNjB8t6
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
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
A5: But, maybe this fall when I'm in NYC. I plan to visit the @FLXWineCountry when I'm there. #GenXTravel
Q6. Who is typically on these trips? Friends, family members, a mix, someone else? Share a photo. #GenXTravel

A6. Most of my #GirlsGetaways are wth friends. I come from a tiny family and have no sisters.#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

Q7. Do these trips have a theme? What have some of the themes been for past trips??#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
Here's @ChickVacations and @MommyMusings from our cruise last week with @CruiseNorwegian on #NorwegianJoy ... when traveling as a foursome there's time for it to be a girls trip and a guys trip all wrapped up in one :) #GenXTravel https://t.co/t2cLR56Ys7

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
replying to @GenXTraveler @GenXTraveler where did you go half way around the globe? #GenXTravel
Q9. Is the purpose of these trips rest, relaxation and fun or is there another purpose to them? #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

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
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
