Destination Unknown

3 girls were enjoying their 3rd glass of wine at a happy hour 3 months ago when they started to discuss all the places they never go. One of those girls was me. After a 20 minute conversation of we should do this - we should do that - why don't we ever go to blank - we said OK let's do it. So we formed the group Ladies Destination Unknown. Being the event planner, I volunteered to create a calendar and send out an email for interest. Like moths to a flame, the group grew quickly. With more than 25 girls in the "club", I assigned 2-3 people per month to act as the hosts.

The idea:

Once a month the "club" will get together and do something the majority of the girls probably haven't experienced. It can be an activity or it can be a destination. If it's your turn to host, you decide. You also choose the date. Typically we shoot for the 3rd Thursday of the month, but it's all up to the hosts. As a participant, you can either attend or it's understood you'll catch the next one. With no back and forth and always having a targeted day of the month, it's easy to plan and there's no added stress. Once you're ready to pull the trigger on your designated month, you send the group the limited details they need to know.

1. How much money to bring
2. Where and when to meet
3. What to wear

The rest is simply entertaining. As soon as the details are announced the group always begins to speculate and figure out the plan. Rarely correct we'll meet the night of the event and ask a few YES or NO questions before hitting the road.

It's human nature to go to your usual spots and stick with your normal routine. Destination Unknown is an excuse to go somewhere you're curious about, that potentially could suck, or potentially could be a hidden gem in Greenville that no one even knows about.
