Travel Guest Post: Putting the Fun Back into Planning the Ultimate Group Getaway

How many times have you started out planning a girls’ getaway with excitement, anticipation, and brilliant ideas, and then somewhere along the planning process found yourself pulling your hair out in frustration? You know the drill… Organizing group trips can become a logistical nightmare when you’re dealing with lots of opinions, tracking head counts for multiple activities, and scrambling for the best reservations. The conversation often ends up in convoluted email chains that jam your overworked inbox (and sometimes get lost). More often than not, one of your girlfriends misses a crucial message or somehow falls off the email string (and either goes off on an unrelated tangent, or worse, feels left out and upset…). Plus, there’s the sticky business of figuring out who-owes-whom-what post-trip, which can leave a bad taste after even the sweetest of getaways.

We’ve all had to deal with this scenario, as have the folks at www.LastBash.com – who have actually made it their goal to do something about it!!

LastBash is a new, free online application for planning and organizing group trips and events. It’s designed to simplify the process of — and put the fun back into — coordinating the greatest bash. In addition to event details and RSVP functionality of a traditional invitation website, LastBash provides a one-stop spot for:

*Discussing and collaborating on trip ideas on a private dashboard
*Managing multiple activities across multiple days with RSVP ability for each activity
*Obtaining travel planning tips and destination recommendations
*Tracking dollar amounts each participant has paid and splitting group expenses fairly and efficiently via a Group Expense Wizard

Launched in the beginning of May, LastBash is already improving the group trip planning experience for its users. As a recent fan raved, “We are stoked about using LastBash to organize our otherwise hopelessly disorganized trip! It’s very well designed and user-friendly… Thanks for making this tool freely available to us.”

So go on, give LastBash a spin when planning your next group getaway. It will save you headaches and frustration in the planning process so you can bring all your energy on the trip and focus on what matters most – having the time of your life with your gal pals!

P.S. LastBash isn’t just for women… It’s for everyone and every bash — from girls’ getaways to bachelor/ette parties to guys’ golf trips, family reunions, and every other group gathering you can dream up! Clue in your guy friends too!
