# How To Make Your Summer Boys Trip Getaway an Epic Adventure *By James Hills, mantripping.com — Updated April 2024* Winter is almost in the rear view mirror and the temperature is rising ... in fact it was 80 degrees here in Ohio today. That means it's time to start thinking about planning those summer boys trips. How will you be spending these hot summer afternoons? From looking good to doing awesome things, it's up to you to make the right decisions and turn a "good idea" into an "Epic Adventure".  ## Take Lots of Pictures! Okay, so this is where I should say that it's okay to take a vacation that is designed for you ... but who am I kidding? You need to make sure that you capture all the buys trip excitement so you can share it on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. Otherwise, who's going to believe you when you tell the stories after you return? ## Go Somewhere You've Never Gone Before! Are you a race fan? Great! Anyone can go to a NASCAR race, but maybe you should try something new. I'd never been to a Pirelli World Challenge race until last month and while I still love NASCAR, Indy, and F1 - this is an awesome format that I've now fallen in love with.

Does something look good on the menu? Try it! No one ever came back from an adventure bragging about the stuff that looks great that they didn't do. ## Keep Up Your Grooming Habits! Ok, so you are on vacation and growing a bit of stubble is a great temptation. Frankly, there's nothing wrong with that. However, you should at least make sure to trim that stubble so you don't look like a caveman. They say the "lumberjack" look is in this year, but this is a lumberjack who throws on a nice shirt and is ready to have a bouncer let him into the club on a Friday night.  ## It's Ok to Indulge In Something Sweet (but use moderation)! Just like with the note above about food, it's okay to enjoy desserts, too. You may have to do a few extra crunches when you get home, but this is your EPIC summer getaway, so it's time to indulge and have fun. In fact, one of our favorite [guys trip](https://www.mantripping.com/guys-trip.html) getaway ideas is doing food tours - best pizza in Chicago, coney's in Detroit, [birria tacos in San Diego](index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=3133:san-diego-birria-tour&catid=17:food-drink&Itemid=529) or something completely different wherever you are visiting. ## Make Sure to Invite the Right Friends! The most important thing is to pick the right friends to join you. You know who they are! After all, it's pretty hard to have a [boys trip](https://www.mantripping.com/boys-trip.html) or even just a quick guys weekend getaway if you don't have the right band of brothers standing by your side. Even years later I know that it's the men I shared my travel experiences with that made the trips that much more memorable. These are the guys who will share the adventure, keep the secrets, and remind you of the memories for years to come, so it's important that you pick them well.
