Mother’s Day is just around the corner so where are you going to take Mom? Here’s are some fantastic TRAVEL THERAPY trip ideas that are perfect for celebrating the mom in your life!
Forget about getting mom the usual flowers and candy, or taking her to brunch or dinner. Come on, after everything your mom has done for you, doesn’t she deserve a bit more, some TRAVEL THERAPY, a trip she will remember forever?
Before you shake your head and point to your empty wallet, wait, because there are some great travel specials you can take advantage of where you don’t have to spend a lot of money to make mom feel truly pampered.
If you aren’t able to take your own mom for some TRAVEL THERAPY how about taking a friend who is a mom to celebrate all that they do in the name of motherhood. Moms are always putting their children’s needs before their own so they’ve earned their TRAVEL THERAPY and then some!
Here are some top travel deals for the best Mother’s Day trips and if you can’t get away that weekend, keep these 2009 travel specials in mind for another time as they last for several months!

Great ideas. I lost my Mom about 5 years ago but I know some Mom’s that are girlfriends that could incorporate a girlfriends getaway with others that have lost their Mom’s or are Mom’s themselves. Any ideas for them?
How about Mom’s taking their daughters on a getaway, or for that matter their sons. Some men like to getaway with their Mom’s as well. And, if the son’s or nephews or brothers, or whatever would like to take their favorite sister, aunt or cousin somewhere for the day where would you suggest they go?
I love the idea of the book! That kind of fits anyone and is a beautiful gift. I am going to send one to several friends. I have a special daughter that I would like to travel with and a son I don’t get to see very often that can’t afford to take me anywhere but maybe we could make it a point to do one of your travel therapy trips!
Kat, I completely agree! Mother’s Day isn’t just for your own mom but to celebrate any mom that is special to you, girlfriends absolutely included! Check out the link I have on this site under GIRLFRIEND GETAWAYS and you’ll find all kinds of great ideas! Travel Therapy is also featured in this month’s Girlfriend Getaway magaizne! Love it!
I’m taking my mother to New York to visit her much loved granddaughter. At 93 she didn’t feel that she could take the trip alone, but was very excited when she learned that we could take the trip together. Will be a trip to remember for both of us.
Linda, sounds like a truly special trip to New York. Three generations on a vacation together, that doesn’t happen often enough. Sounds like your trip is something everyone will remember and charish and that’s what TRAVEL THERAPY is all about!
