If the g irls can have a vacation getaway why can’t the guys? Guy getaways, also known as “mancations” are just as popular as girlfriend getaways. Guys are looking for adventures that have sports, beer and women involved. So for your next mancation why don’t you:

Take in a game   Whether it is a baseball, football, soccer, or basketball game what could be a better way to spend a weekend than following your home team to an out of town game or better yet attending a game of your favorite sports team in their home city.

Go Golfing
Get your buddies together and head for a PGA golf course. If your handicap isn’t up to a PGA standards then check out the courses in Scottsdale Arizona. It is always warm in Arizona and with over 100 courses to choose from Scottsdale is a great place for a golfing vacation.

Viva Las Vegas
Las Vegas is the ultimate guy getaway spot. There is gambling, endless nightlife, lovely ladies galore as well as plenty to keep you busy outside of the casino. With nearly every travel company offering packages to the city that never sleeps Las Vegas is perfect choice for a mancation.

Take an outdoor adventure holiday
Hike, bike, surf, fish, camp, white water raft, hunt, sail or hang out at a dude ranch. These are just some of the outdoor activities you can participate in with your friends. It can be a budget camping trip to a local national park or life changing journey white water rafting down the Amazon, it is up to you. So gets the adrenaline going, get outside and having an adventure.

Play war games
These are even more fun your childhood playground version of war. Spend the weekend fighting a historic civil war battle in a war reenactment. Usually three day affairs, soldiers live like real combatants and reenact famous battles. So put on a uniform and remake history. 

Whether you get the guys together to attend a major sporting event, work on your golf swing, win big in a poker match, participate in an adrenaline pumping outdoor adventure or remake history at a civil war battle reenactment, a mancation can be a chance to reconnect with your friends or male relatives without having to worry about pleasing the women in your lives for a few days.
