The trip after the wedding

McCall or Palm Springs?

Both work for a group after the wedding. Here is what actually separates them, from our own rows rather than from a template.

The trip you take with your friends right after the wedding — instead of the honeymoon, or before it.

  • Palm Springs has 3 stays that sleep a group of twelve in one place, against 1 in McCall. If keeping everyone under one roof is the point, that is the difference that matters.
  • The cheapest whole-group house starts at $400 a night in Palm Springs and $500 in McCall — roughly $100 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in January, February. McCall also holds up in July, August, September, and Palm Springs in March, April, October, November, December.
  • We carry noticeably more to do in Palm Springs (11 things) than in McCall (6), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
  • McCall is in ID, Palm Springs in CA.
