I know I don’t turn 40 until September, 2010, but as I am a planner and a self confessed control freak, I like to have all my ducks in a row so I already have my wild friends  thinking of where we are going to go to celebrate!   

I’ll let DH plan a surprise party for me, obviously, but a girls’ getaway is definitely in the cards for that year! 

I want it to be a fun, memorable trip to a place that none of us have ever been to.

Paris

Venice

Athens

San Francisco

New York

Blackpool

Any ideas?

    Middle-aged people tend to enjoy the serenity and unforgettable charm of Paris. If you like to party, I guess New York is the place to be. If you plan to spend time with someone special, Venice would be the perfect place.

    I looked at your picture and I said “if she is 40 I give up Lord,” =))) I am 40 in two years….we are planning a trip to Ireland. I told my husband I NEED something I am beyond excited for that year, so I can focus my attention else where =)

    Thanks for visiting my blog!

    How did I miss these… me and Wp be needin’ to have some words.
    Forty!!! Honey, you don’t look it.
    I’m 33 and when I turn 40 I’ll probably end up at Chucky Cheese, so I’ll be jealous of wherever you go. I hear KY is nice this time of year. ;)

    2011 will be my 40th b.d. yikes. Personally, I would pick Paris. That is probably because I haven’t been there, yet. hmmm.. probably more of a place to go with a lover/spouse. Athens seems more of a wild chick party! ;) I am a bit MPD today it seems lol

    I turn 40 Sept. of 2010 also. Planning a girls weekend. No kids or spouses! We are having the same dilemma of where to go. Its hard getting a group to pick a place, all inclusive would be nice. Beach is mandatory for us also. Good luck!
