IF MEN ARE FROM MARS and women are from Venus, why should they be expected to travel together? For your next vacation, think about separating from your significant other to try one of these gendergeared packages.
Boys will be boys at the “Big Cigars and Motor Cars” event at the new luxury Intercontinental Tampa hotel ($550 per person, through April; 813-286-4400, ichotelsgroup.com). Kick off the weekend with a tour around the city in a Maserati Grand or a Corvette, get a hand-rolled Arturo Fuente stogie, and tour Yuengling, one of the nation’s oldest brew - eries. Before retiring to a luxurious room outfitted with a king-size bed and 32-inch plasma TV, enjoy the 48-ounce porterhouse at Shula’s Steak House. The night’s comedy is provided by the Tampa Improv. Remember, no girls allowed.
Are you ready now, ladies? The Island Hotel and Pelican Hill Golf Club in Newport Beach have paired up for a “Golf & Girlfriends—— Newport Style” weekend ($1,570, runs until September; 949-759-0808, islandhotel.com).
