7 THINGS WE DO ON HOLIDAYS WITH OUR GIRLFRIENDS

My holiday has been booked. Somewhere around the end of August ’the girls’ and I are flying to Portugal. The seven of us rented out a huge house with the ocean practically in our backyard. There’s a surf school in walking distance so we might book a class (after we’ve checked out the instructors) or else we’ll just drop by a bunch of beach parties. The rest of our schedule doesn’t consist of more than swimming, tanning, reading and thinking of what our next meals are going to be. Without having to discuss it, we all know what are tasks are in the kitchen (making a salad, BBQ, wine, sauces) and within an hour we’ll have a heavenly meal on our table. This is going to be one of those wonderful holiday’s without our boys and it’s best they’re not there; typical girlfriend holiday shenanigans will be taking place that no guy should ever be participating in. Like these for example:

• Every room in the house gets transformed into a pigsty within no time and everyone borrows each others clothing.

• We epilate or wax our bikini lines in front of everyone.

• The topics of discussion are: men, sex, women (his ex), family and insecurities.

• There will definitely be at least one night of sobbing after too much wine during personal discussions.

• When you’re in a group, there’s always one person that unintentionally gets alienated. It happens.

• There’s a lot of smoking, burping and if someone has to go to the bathroom for a number two, it’s not awkward. Wait, what am I saying? We do it with the door wide open.

• Sharing everything. The shit, the sex, the dreams; eeeeverything.
