AAA:

WHAT:    A first-ever report from AAA and Aspire finds that forty
         percent of American women plan to take a girls-only vacation
         soon. The survey found that girlfriend getaways are growing
         in popularity, in part because American women feel the need
     


to escape their personal and professional responsibilities. The report also shows that vacations including just girlfriends and female family members ease stress and have become an important part of the lives of American women. The report is based on focus groups, online and phone surveys of more than 1,200 U.S. women.
