As much as I enjoyed all of the traveling, it was sooo nice to be home!! There is so much to get caught up on when you are gone for a while, but one thing I couldn't wait to do was to get together with some of my friends that were able to join me on some of my excursions. I invited Sara Underwood, Cara Zavaleta, Amber Campisi and Pilar Lastra to join me for lunch at Geoffrey's in Malibu to share pictures, memorabilia and stories from our trips!!
We started out with peach Bellini's and worked our way into appetizers while Sara and I discussed our Croatia experience from cliff jumping to skinny-dipping! We talked about our cute Croatian tour guide, the cool Golden Horn beach in Brac and the beautiful terrace bar at sunset.
Another peach Bellini and some salad and Cara and I were talking about our adventures in Thailand including my scary parasailing mishap. There were so many adventures in Thailand from rock climbing, riding elephants, snake charmers, Thai cooking, boxing and massage -- even the tuk tuk's were an adventure!! Cara brought memorabilia from Fantasea! She brought the little stuffed animal she won at the adult theme park, which brought up memories of how we got to dress up in the traditional Thai dress and people actually thought we worked at the park and lined up for pictures with us!!! LOL! So much fun!
The entrees were arriving and that called for one more peach Bellini as we talked about some of the other trips I had been on and I shared pictures and fun stories. By the end of lunch Amber and I were discussing our adventures in Costa Rica, especially the rainforest at the base of the volcano in Arenal. It was so incredible there. I still rave about it to everyone. The 90-degree hot springs, water falls and the tropical jungle made for the setting of true paradise … not to mention all of the spa treatments we got as well!! Total Bliss!
Sobering up now with dessert and coffee, we were finally winding our way to the last trip I took with Pilar to Morocco. We talked about how exotic the land was, including the food. We talked about trying pigeon and camel and actually liking it! Taking belly dancing lessons, riding camels on the beach, smoking the shisha, trying mint tea and shopping in the medina. When you sit down and re-live all of the experiences like that, it is hard for even me to believe that I went to all of those places and did all of those things!!!
Lastly we talked about all of the places I would like to go next -- such as Brazil, Greece, South of France, South Africa, Dubai, Italy, and many, many other places! We even talked about the possibility of doing a group trip to the Hamptons or something!! Wow!! Look out world, the 5 of us together? Now that would be trouble … but so much fun!
Thanks for joining me on all my travels! See you next time, but for now … Back to the Beach!

Hi Bridget,
I loved the "Best of" segment. Glad to take a drift down memory bliss...At the end of your show, you talked about all the other places you'd like to go and visit.....I wish you the best of luck for a Season 2. I guess when you've exhausted all the sexy beaches, then your next show should be "Bridget's Haunted Cities." Yeah we've seen haunted shows before on the travel channel, but you possess a "paranormal talent" and you love that stuff, I beleive that would really make the show(s).
Again, lots of scary places here in New Mexico.
Hey Bridget,
I am so happy you are on this delightful show.
You are such a ray of sunshine- and you take me away to beautiful places every time I watch your awesome show.
Thank you for becoming a part in this- and sharing all your dreams with us. Look forward to the next sexiest beach trip ;}
Bridget,
I wanted to let you know I love your show. I am an avid beach goer myself. Several places you visited I have been too as well. So it was nice to see those places through you again, and it brought back some great memories for me. I especially loved your Jamaica show. My husband and I got married there a few years ago and have been back a few times since. The last time we visited Bob's house just as you did, which was awsome. You see a whole different part of Jamaica that way. We also ate at Scotchies in Ocho Rios too. Their Jerk Chicken is the best!
I can't wait for the next season!
Peace!
HOT, HOT, HOT!!
FuN iN the SuN!
I have a BIG favor. My birthday is coming up and I cannot get over how INCREDIBLE you looked in the black one-piece bathing suit with the silver neck chains. PLEASE tell me where I may find it!
THANK YOU!! You're wonderful; from one travel bug to another :-)
Eres guapisima Bridget!!! Hermosa y muy Simpatica. Saludos desde latinoamérica CHILE! Andy.
Bridget you are guapisima, beautiful and very Agreeable.
I was so sorry to see you leave Girls of the Playboy Mansion, but completely understand and am really thrilled for you with your new venture. Plus with Holly and Kendra leaving things just wouldn't have been the same would it? I am in England and unfortunately Sky TV doesn't carry Bridget's Sexiest Beaches so I am going to write them and see if they will carry it. I watched some of your video turn on's and really enjoyed them. If Sky won't carry your show I'll just keep coming back here and check things out. Keep up the good work and enjoy!
I LOVE the show and we can not wait for more episodes.. so rest up beautiful and get back to the beach so i can live vicariously threw you!!!
thanks for the smiles keep up the great work (and i sure hope they give you many many many seasons)
Love your show Bridget, I look forward to it every week!!
Love your show Bridget! I especially loved the one when you went to Jamaica. I am getting married in Negril in September so it was nice to see some of the sites before I get there.
Bridget! You are amazing! I was so excited when I heard about this show, and now I am in design school and we are designing a brochure for the show. (We're pretending to be hired by the travel channel to do this... although I've never heard of doing a brochure for a TV show, I couldn't think of a show more fun to make one for than this one!) Anyways, I am borrowing images from the website to use in the brochure. I'm hoping to find some that are higher resolution to use (this obviously isn't for commercial use so it doesn't matter legally where i get my images from). I'm glad that there are lots of great pics on the site!
My favorite thing I found is that it tells who the designers are of some of your clothes! Which is amazing! And I have to say that your bikini body is very very motivating to me. I am an aspiring aerobics instructor and my mission is for everyone to get those amazing legs you have!
stay sweet!!! :)
(p.s. I am looking forward to your personal website being created! i keep checking back)
Bridget,
When can we hear about Season 2. I'm looking forward to it. I've noticed that you always had girl friends travel with you on some of your destinations, what about your beau? I saw a picture of the two of you, WOW, he's a hottie. Would he enjoy traveling to some of your exciting destinaations for a fun holiday? Maybe your sister or mother can join you also, that'd be fun.
You are a very sweet lady...I love watching all seasons of GND, now, I enjoy the spotlight on your own show. Best of luck.
Hi Bridget!!!
I live in New Zealand and didn't even know that you had your own show till last week!!! Thank God for the internet! But i'm still really behind. Croatia was BEAUTIFUL! I am now saving to go there myself :)
You're an amazing person, and you are my role model.
You prove to any girl whose any age, that they can do whatever they want if you put your mind to it.
Its my goal to try out to be a Playboy bunny :)
I've got ALOT of work involved to get there. But I'm going to prove to myself that I can.
Give a big hug to Winnie and Gizmo for me!!
(My kitty is Black and White and called Gizmo too! she's got a big attitude problem tho! haha)
All the best for everything xxx
Bridget, I love your show!! Love the Thailand episode!! Except the terrible parasailing mishap but now I know what could happen if I ever decide to do this and take pracautions. You were such a great sport about it!! I would've cried and be screaming! hehehe...
Amber is hilarious with you in Costa Rica! I can't wait to see more episodes of other beaches around the world!!
i love your show and i cant wait til next season, but could you tell me where you went for your episode in hawaii? i am planning a trip with my best friends and we all love your show and your adventures. thanks! have fun!
Bridget! I love watching your show it's the best new(ish) show on the travel channel! I'd love to travel but i don't have the $$ so watching your show makes me feel as though I'm right there with you!

jaja special greetings to you but also to kendra and holly
cuidate mucho aqui en chihuahua have a friend I love you!
Bridget you have to be the most real beautiful female I've seen on television for quite sometime. I could watch you all day. You seem so down to earth and genuine, and I am happy to be able to view your experiences on the TC, now that The Girls Next Door is over. You have always been a huge inspiration to me. How outgoing and ambitious you are to achieve your goals really makes me want to do the same. Thank you for showing beautiful girls you don't have to play stupid to be liked.
Also, thanks to your new show, I just started my own bucket list. I'd love to see what's on yours. Good luck and happy dreaming.
Bridget;
I just saw the entire 1st season today (Thank you Netflix), i normally do not take the time to show support for "people". However, in every episode i saw your natural attraction to wildlife and your respect for animals in general. Your attitude is amazing, and you did not act like a typical american tourist. You showed your knowledge of different cultures, as well as the respect that they deserve (when in Rome.... I wanted to applaud you. I caught a few episodes of "The Girls Next Door" and i recall that you are quite the intellectual. I would love to see you with companions that share your level of knowledge. I also think it is great that this show is female dominant and you do not have a damsel in distress problem.
I hope to see Season 2 shortly. Love your dogs! (Ok i love all pets)
Best,
Angela
Bridget! I love the show, and can't wait for Season 2! Hope to see you taping somewhere! I'd say try the Virgin Islands in early November... (hint, hint)LOL
Leslie
i love your show and i cant wait til next season, but could you tell me where you went for your episode in hawaii? i am planning a trip with my best friends and we all love your show and your adventures. thanks! have fun!
Loved watching your show. When will Season 2 start?
Bridget! First off congrats on your big new show!! You must have "The Life" right now! I'm sure everyone is supremely jealous of your travels but grateful we can share it with you on tv! Can I suggest you come to Sydney to see Bondi and Manly beaches??? Give me a buzz when you get to manly. X
