This needs to be on your bucket list. It's the antidote to FOMO (fear of missing out on outdoorsiness) but without needing to jump off a cliff with a bungee cord. - https://mailchi.mp/runawayjanes.com/livinglikeagreek-12643484

Want to know the most surprising thing about our retreats?

The incredible location is really just a side bonus.

The rewards of a Runaway Janes retreat go way beyond those of an ordinary vacation.

We are doing extraordinary retreats for our everyday Janes.

We are connecting women with meaningful conversations, inspiring (but easy)adventures, incredible food and all the thoughtful details you’ve always wanted someone ELSE to think of (so you can truly relax!).

It’s the vacation you actually don’t need a vacation from. It doesn't get any better than that.

Ready to Runaway with us to the Oregon Coast from Sept 21-25? It’s not too late to join us! We'd love to have you.

And it's definitely a five star location and five billion star experience, but that’s not even remotely the best part.

So what's on your dream vacation list?

Private chef?
Ocean views?
No one complaining?
Hikes, horseback rides, four-course dinners, beach picnics and beach bonfires?
✔️✔️✔️✔️ we’ve got them all!

******The only thing that is missing is YOU!

Four nights. You won’t regret running away with us.

Fall in love with some activity, and do it! Nobody ever figures out what life is all about, and it doesn't matter. Explore the world. Nearly everything is really interesting if you go into it deeply enough. Work as hard and as much as you want to on the things you like to do the best. Don't think about what you want to be, but what you want to do. Keep up some kind of a minimum with other things so that society doesn't stop you from doing anything at all. ~Richard Feynman

🍽️🦞🧀🫕🍷

👩‍🍳And if you’re hungry for a real ReTREAT, come to the Oregon Coast with us for a 4-night Runaway, this September, fantastic food, gorgeous setting, light adventures - waterfall hike, horseback ride on the dunes, beach picnic, beach bonfires, private chef, four course dinner, Oregon wines. Join 7 other women for a true reTREAT! 🌊🦐

28/07/2023

Send back that side order of STRESS and Runaway with us to the Oregon Coast, instead…

It’s time for a vacation from the words, “what’s for dinner?”.

On our Runaway Janes Retreats, we take care of everything so you can completely relax and not have to lift a finger (you will need to lift a fork 🍴😉).

Private chef dinners, daily delicious breakfasts, a swanky night out at a favorite Coastal eatery, gourmet beach picnic lunch, savory snacks (requisite charcuterie!), and so many other delectable delights! 🍤🥟🍳🥖🦐🧄

You get to actually enjoy the Coastline, not the grocery store line or the OpenTable line or the Uber line.

We take care of YOU and you deserve it.👩‍🍳

It’s truly a reTREAT for women, it’s not just “relocating your stress to a different time zone” kind of vacation. 😖

Runaway with us for an experience that’s far from ordinary and it’s just four nights (easy getaway!). 🗓️

You’ll love how we Runaway 🏃🏼‍♀️🛫🌊and you’ll be so glad you did!

➡️👯‍♀️Tag your bestie who also needs a vacation from the words: “what’s for dinner”. 🙄

Link in our bio to save your spot or send us a DM with any questions. We can’t wait to truly FEED your soul on this Oregon coast runaway.

If you could runaway anywhere right now ... where would you want to go? And what's holding you back?

25/07/2023

Are you making this mistake with your vacations? Because you deserve so much better! https://mailchi.mp/runawayjanes.com/livinglikeagreek-12641431

Do you secretly sometimes fantasize about this scenario? 🧞‍♂️

Running away … 🏃🏼‍♀️

😫 from the stress.
🚦 from the traffic,
🥵from the humidity,
🧾from alllllllll the responsibilities 👩‍👧🏠✔️
🪲definitely from the mosquitos!

Here’s the problem, you envision the relaxation, the sights and scenery, unplugging, connecting…

Then you get bogged down by the hours and hours researching hotels or finding impossible dates 🗓️that possibly work for the whole family and you give up when the only thing available looks like an overpriced airport lounge.

Or you finally take that awesome trip you’ve spent all year planning only to have your kids (of ALL ages!) worried more about whether there’s WI-FI than farm to table fabulousness.

Then you make it to that must see destination you always dreamed about only to see more crowds than at a pro football game.

There’s a MUCH better way to Runaway (and replenish) and there’s still room for you and a bestie! 🛫☺️☺️

Yes, your true Runaway fantasy, the one that feels like an actual soul-nourishing vacation (rather than relocating your hassles to a different time zone ) is about to become reality. ⬇️

And it’s less than two months away! We are ready to runaway with YOU, to the Oregon Coast!

Nearly everything you could think of is included, every detail is thoughtfully planned and exceptionally taken care of and
The Oregon Coast beach house is even better in person than it is on social media. 📷🤳

Run away with us to the Oregon Coast this Sept 21-25.

It’s a TRUE vacation.

A runaway that’ll return you back home feeling
replenished,
restored,
refueled
and ready for it all!

We are Runaway Janes. And our vacations are far from ordinary.

We curate and lead small group travel excursions to exceptional places with wonderful women, just like you.

RUNAWAY with us!

It’s an easy four night escape, because four nights of not having to lift a finger feels better than two weeks of the other kind of vacation…

Wake up to the waves. Fall asleep to the tides. No sound machine needed.

Spots are limited, but we do have a few rooms left!

If you are ready to runaway with us in Sept or in the very near future, let us know.🧳

Who’s been to the Oregon Coast? I (Jess) have not yet been, though I did try to convince my family several years ago that we were meant to live there. 😀🤪

As we’re getting excited and ready for the upcoming Runaway Janes LLC trip to Tierra Del Mar on the Oregon Coast - Unique Trip Experience, we’d love to hear your favorite things about the Oregon Coast.

Haven’t been there? What makes you want to go??

For me….the photos of the water, the fires on the beach and rocks make my whole body relax. And, I LOVE fresh seafood so I’m already imagining that delicious-ness.

The incredible shoreline with its rugged seaside cliffs, sandy beaches, unique rock formations, and lush vegetation are each a thrill for your senses.

We've been talking over the last few months about Runaway Janes and what "running away" really looks and feels like to us.

While it is definitely to travel to the gorgeous places we all dream of going...to us it means more than that. It's about doing something different than normal.

We have to really make the effort to make things happen - big and little. We're busy women with full lives and lots of things that could get in the way and sometimes do. But, we know it's important to have lots of runaways on a regular basis.

The FB memories that have been popping up have reminded me (Jess) of some of the past runaways for me over the last couple of years and recently. I've been making an effort to say "yes" more to experiences and people.

My husband and I also took a staycation last week - to enjoy our home together, for longer than a weekend. It was so good and not long enough.

REMEMBER HER?

Somewhere inside of you, there’s a little firecracker with her arms folded and a frown on her face.

She isn’t happy about all the times you said no when you wanted to say yes.
All the times you said yes when you wanted to say no.

She wanted you to buy the ticket.
She wanted you to take that trip.
She definitely wanted you to take that risk – the one that may have just opened a whole new world.

She wants you to remember what it feels like to run to the sea without a care in the world and splash and laugh till you ache.
To face the day without a fear in your heart and embrace every opportunity that comes.

She doesn’t understand why you won’t wear the bikini.
She doesn’t understand why you won’t eat the cake.
She doesn’t understand why you don’t let it go.
She definitely doesn’t understand why you accept second best.

Somewhere inside there is a little girl who wonders at the adult you’ve become..

She still has many things she wants to learn and so many people still to meet.
She still has food she’d like to taste and parties she wants to dance at.
She still has places she wants to visit and wonders she wants to stare at.

Somewhere inside you, there is a little firecracker – desperate to see more of this thing we call life.

It's July 16th. It's mid-summer-ish. If you are like me (Lisa), you are wondering where the days have gone. I used to blame the two-second summer on the fact that my kids had full summer schedules and we were always on the run. Now that we are empty nesters, I'm not sure what to blame. There are always so many things I want do, projects to tackle, places I want to go and people I want to visit. Then mid-July rolls around and you panic because you haven't been able to cross any of these things off of your summer To Do list! Maybe I just need to concede that Ohio summers will always fly by in the blink of an eye?

My hope is that this doesn't resonate with you. But if it does, and a special trip just for yourself has been on your summer wish list but you just haven't gotten around to it, it's time! And we have just the trip. Coastal Oregon is the perfect place to end your summer, and with no regrets and no "I should have" thoughts.

We look forward to having you❤️

Our theme for Summer 2023 is “Slowdown Summer”. 😎 While it’s easier said than done, we’re doing our best to appreciate the little things that we usually don’t take the time to enjoy. For me (Lisa) it was stopping to watch the turtles in the pond during my morning walk with Ruby, my Goldendoodle, today. Normally, it’s a race to get my 4 miles in and back to my task list. Today, I stopped. I sat. And I watched. 🐢 🐕 😌 What have you done lately to slow down and appreciate the little things?

We will have lots of opportunities to slow down during our Oregon adventure! Rockhounding is one of those “little things” we will take time to enjoy, just outside our back door.

The Oregon Coast is a treasure trove for the hobby geologist. Moonstone agates (colorful translucent rocks) can be found in reds and yellows as well as attractive opaque rocks. With an attentive and keen eye, you’ll likely spot these colorful stones hiding amongst the “regular” ones on the shore. No special equipment necessary – all you need is a fun spirit and water-resistant clothing. We’ll bring the buckets! Lucky beachcombers may even find a rare and elusive Japanese glass fishing float! 💎

Join Runaway Janes and slowdown this summer! 🐢 Better yet, come along on our Coastal Adventure and we’ll slow down together in Oregon - September 21-25! 🌊

To many, vacation planning consists of a hotel reservation and an airline ticket. That’s it. 🤔

Not when you travel with the Runaway Janes! We spend at least 40 hours researching, speaking to locals and planning every day of our trips - the food, the sights and the secrets that only the locals know about. 🦸

The Pacific City’s Farmer’s Market came up in multiple conversations and in our research several times. It is a popular tradition on the coast, one that we knew we didn’t want to miss on our Tierra Del Mar trip in September. ✅

We’ll find the freshest local produce, wonderful artisan craftsmanship, terrific music and some yummy eats! The best souvenirs from the Tillamook Coast come from their Farmer’s Markets. 🍎 🌽 🧀 🛍️

Join Runaway Janes in Oregon September 21-25! 🌊 Let us show you what a vacation should be!

Runaway Janes’ trips 🟰 unique travel experiences

👑 Unique because they are planned BY women FOR women.

✔️ Our itineraries include all kinds of fun and experiences for women to enjoy, most likely not things that you would include in a family vacation (after all, don’t we usually put our family’s interests before our own?).

😲 Our goal is to provide women with a unique experience, one full of pampering and days full of ohhs and ahhs, whether it be the view from your bedroom window, the dinner prepared by a personal chef, the feeling of being completely relaxed, or the unexpected special gift on your bedside table.

🌳 Neskowin, a small town nestled in the forest and the sweeping hills of the Oregon Coast, will be full of ohhs and ahhs. It’s a place that seems to defy change, staying away from chain eateries, tourists and big hotels. This serene, spiritual spot on the Oregon Coast was a must for Runaway Janes! 🥰 Neskowin has remained this sleepy place with almost nothing but a pristine beach.

🌄 Our morning will start at their Farmer’s Market, the place to be on a Saturday morning, to check out the art, craft and food of the region. From there, it’s on to the beach with our picnic lunch prepared by our beach house chef!

🌊 The Neskowin Beach itself is a sight to behold. This wide beach is rarely crowded and will allow us the opportunity to rejuvenate. The highlight here is Proposal Rock. The Ghost Forest is also here and comprised of 2,000-year-old stumps from ancient Sitka spruce that spanned impressive heights of 200-feet. Only visible when the tide rolls out, we will meander through these stumps, sure to be a memorable beach experience that you won’t soon forget.

👀 Rumor has it, this is also a great place to find elusive glass floats and to watch hang gliders!

👭 Runaway Janes would love for you to join us in Oregon September 21-25!
