A weekend getaway is needed...

I need to get away.  

No, not for any great length of time, but a weekend away would be nice.  My church is in the midst of planning its annual womens retreat.  It will be in April and it's for a whole weekend up in the mountains of North Carolina.  This year the topic of the retreat doesn't thrill me and basically, I'll be paying close to $100 for the weekend to be in a place that's outdated and in desperate need of cleaning and refreshing to listen to several talks on a topic that I'm not interested in!

Or there's plan B...

I am looking to get away with a few friends for a weekend of just girl time - no structured schedule, no cafeteria food, just a getaway.  

It seems a bit selfish and I am sure that my church friends are going to be like "WHAT???  Why would you NOT want to go on the retreat?"  You know, I am not a retreat person.  I've told everyone that.  I went last year to give it a try and while it was fun, it was fun because the topic was fun.  It was on sex.  This year?  Not so much.  It's on "Emotions".  Yes, I have them.  Enough said.

So I need to really think and pray on this because I need a little break and need to step away from everyday life for a little bit but I'm not sure which environment is going to do that for me in the best way.

Decisions, decisions...
