  • I have been so fortunate to have been a guest on all of SusieStroup’s Beautiful Adventures Ladies Luxury Getaways. Each trip leaves mein awe of the magic she creates. The amazing thing is, just when you thinkshe can’t possibly top the last trip, they somehow keep getting better! Ourrecent trip to Tuscany defies words that could come close to describing ourmemorable experience! I felt like I was living a dream the entire time. Susieis a master at planning every day down to the minute, but is also flexible tomake changes, if she feels something different might be better for herguests. We stay in the most amazing places, eat at only the best restaurants,take advantage of the regional spotlights and have a chauffeur at the ready todrive us to each of these settings. I believe that among Susie’s many gifts, themost special to me is how she truly cares deeply for each of her guests,making sure that they are happy and getting their dream trip of a lifetime.Susie is truly a gift to my soul, and I will follow her anywhere.

  • If you are looking for a trip of a lifetime you have found it!From the moment you sign up to the hugs goodbye, Suzie has thought of everything!Every detail big or small is taken care of ahead of time and runs seamlessly. The bestpart is YOU don't have to do it! It was hands down the best vacation I have been onbecause of the people and the most relaxing due to not having to worry aboutanything. Suzie is incredibly talented at organizing down to the smallest detail,making it look effortless, willing to go the extra mile for anything you need, and hasan incredible heart to boot! The quaint shops, stores, towns, cafes, and restaurantswe visited were unique and wonderful! We all gained inspirational tips along theway, but more importantly, we gained friendships that will withstand the test oftime. None of us were sure how it was going to go when you get nine women whodon't know each other altogether for a Beautiful Luxurious Girlfriends Getaway....itwas exactly what the soul needed! No matter the destination, the experiences you getto share with your new best friends are beyond priceless and will create forevermemories. We truly laughed until we cried and then cried when we had to leave! Iam forever thankful for the experience and would do it again in a heartbeat!

The High Tea, the Inn, the luncheons and dinners, the special surprisesand even our driver who knew exactly where to take us and was always ontime.... they were all the finest and greatest! Even with so many sights to see andunique and special stores to shop, it was still so relaxing and yet, invigorating atthe same time! I don’t know how you arranged so many things to do, but it wasall perfect! The special treatment we received from the store owners,innkeepers and Chef’s was enough to make this trip memorable, but there waseven so much more!Black Sheep Flea Adventure will go down in history as oneof my all time favorite trips ever!!

  • The word Beautiful only begins to describe the luxury girlfriendgetaway that was our recent trip to Tennessee. From the champagne welcome at ourlovely Graduate Hotel to our Farewell dinner at the mansion at A and E Farm, everyminute was a delight. Among the highlights in Nashville was a tour of the CountryMusic Hall of Fame, a concert at The Grand Old Opry, and staying at a beautiful andcomfortable boutique hotel. Each eating venue was carefully selected by Suzie and allthe meals were exquisite. My favorite was the Southern Garden Soiré e held in abeautiful mansion in Nashville. The fabulous outdoor cocktail hour complete withfresh flower tiaras for all, beautiful garden setting and wonderful appetizers pluschampagne was pure heaven. The dinner following, held inside the mansion withbeautiful fresh flower decor and special guests, was over the top. Nashville TN - The last four days were spent at A and E Farm where

  • My wonderful memories of Tuscany Italy 2022 Beautiful Adventures Luxury Girlfriend Getaways hosted by Suzie Stroup was a ten star vacation I will always cherish. Every imaginable detail for a fabulous adventure was present at every moment from the beautiful accommodations, incredible culinary experiences, exceptional historically accurate tours and lots of shopping all shared with a group of fun, friendly, lovely women. It was easy to prepare for the trip because of the detailed newsletters of what to wear, how to pack, important documents to bring, and what to expect visiting the wonderful areas of Tuscany = Cortona, Arezzo, Montepulciano, Sam Gimignano, Pienza, Chianti, Siena and the Rose of Italy, Florence. The gracious generosity of our Host Suzie furnished us all with a handcrafted Italian market tote designed by Jenni from Found Our Haven. The tote was filled with precious gifts all wrapped in hand sown bags of Italian inspired fabrics by Becky Stephens. The wonderful experience of this magical adventure and the great new friends made will forever have a happy warm place in my heart.

  • The last four days were spent at A and E Farm where we relaxed afterhectic Nashville. The mansion was exquisite, decorated beautifully with antiques andset on 10 acres. Meals and cocktail hours were casual and gave us a chance to reallyenjoy one another. Shopping and dining excursions into various villages were a bonus.The farewell dinner was fabulous with a cocktail hour on the veranda, gorgeouslydecorated table and a chef prepared dinner paired with luscious wines and dessert. Iam savoring the memories and friendships made on this Beautiful Adventure. I thankyou, Suzie, for all of your tireless planning and attention to every detail. It was not onlya Beautiful Adventure, but also a work of passion and love on your part.

  • I signed up for this last year's Beautiful Adventures and, I will say, it was,probably, the best trip I've ever been on. I am usually the one in my family that planseverything. I know what it's like to try to make everyone happy. Almost IMPOSSIBLE!Anyway, Suzie made the trip impeccable. I felt so spoiled and taken care of. I wasable to just enjoy every aspect of the trip without lifting a finger. Literally, every partof the trip was thought out and made to make all of us feel like queens. From ourdriver, Lawrence, to each place we went, it was true perfection. I can't wait untilnext year, to, most definitely, experience the best luxurious girls trip anyone coulddream of. Thank you, Suzie, for a trip that far exceeded my expectations!!! Loveyou!!!

  • Quite by accident, my two daughters and I heard about the FirstBlack Sheep Beautiful Adventure to the San Juan Island area. After researching the tripwebsite, without knowing anyone involved, we decided to take a chance and signed upimmediately, since it was limited.... a decision for which we are so grateful to have made!Each month leading up to our adventure, Suzie Stroup, our trip guru, sent newsletters,detailing each individual day of the trip, including places we would visit, where we woulddine, what type of clothing we would need and beautiful photos and websites to droolover in anticipation. She also encouraged texts and emails amongst the participants sothat we could get to know one another. When we actually met the first day, I felt I kneweveryone, just needing to put a name with a face. Instead of going on and on about everybeautiful, extraordinary aspect of this adventure, I will simply say, it was perfect in everyway! It was luxurious, exciting, fun and worth every penny and then some! Through ourincredible shared experiences, the nine of us will forever be connected. I feel we madelifetime memories with amazing women that will last forever! Suzie, our adventuredesigner, our super organized organizer and our creative creator of absolutely everythingwas the sole reason that this trip and all of our new best travel buddies will be in eachother's hearts and memories forever!
