When I last talked about planning for my friend Chelsea’s bachelorette party in Austin, Texas, the only thing we really had planned was the location! Since my bachelorette party was on a cruise (which I’d highly recommend), I didn’t realize all that goes into planning the different stays and activities.
Fortunately, this MOH is on top of it – you’re the best, Cate! – and she put together some great planning documents for us that we just reviewed as a group last night. We’ll be going for a long weekend this summer, and there will likely be a large group of us. With that in mind, the following excursions were planned:
- Pole dancing – I’ve never done this, but I’ve heard it’s an excellent workout. Much like any group workout, I’m sure it’s fun once you get into it – and that I’ll be sore after!
- Bat watching – the Congress Avenue Bridge bats are famous, with a colony estimated at 1.5 million Mexican free-tail bats. After my experiences with bats in Gainesville, I’m looking forward to this.
- Karaoke-ing – while I am far from the best singer, I’ve done karaoke a few times – most recently when I was in Toronto – and let me just say, I’m glad we’ll have a private room for this.
And of course, we have big plans for bar hopping, either on 6th Street or Rainey Street. Most of these activities come with coordinating outfits that will be waiting for us in Austin, so I’ll have less to worry about as I pack my Away bag.
Depending on how many people go, we have a couple Airbnb options to choose from. That being said, rentals for this summer are going quickly – if you’re dreaming of a summer getaway, now’s the time to lock it in!
Since I only got a few trips in last year, between this trip and our family vacation to Ireland, I am so excited to have a few things planned. Keeping my fingers crossed that everything goes through as planned. More to come!
