I am probably a massive fan of romantic relationship that develops out of deep friendship and yours would be no exception. That said, there's a risk to crossing over from friendship to romantic couple. For one thing, your squeeze may not need the friendship to modify. Another potential difficulty with crossing over, is that if the romantic relationship end, the comradeship also ends because the agony of losing the romance can't bear returning to how things used to be between the two of you.
One advantage is that you both already know the good, the bad and the hideous about each other. This level of approval and trust makes taking the chance worth it! Another advantage of beginning a romance based totally on having a solid fellowship is that you also have a firm base from which to build. I am presuming by your question that this has not happened yet.
A love worth experiencing is a love worth a risk. To me this suggests taking a blind leap and get out of the friend zone. To discover if your girlfriend has an interest in taking the closeness to a new level you are going to need to ask her. A trip would give you the added advantage, should a romance be on the horizon, of making an opportunity to become more than friends and move the fellowship to intimacy.
If planning a trip is a little overwhelming, make it a day trip. The first part of the day is when the 2 of you can do something fun and venturesome and the evening can be a dinner that's nice and quiet. During dinner, you can recap the day's events and say how well the 2 of you get along and how much you have in common. As she agrees to your points and discoveries, you can take the biggest risk and let her know how much you appreciate her in your life, how you've come to realize she is the right girl, and you would like to chase these sensations. Her reply will tell you everything you need to grasp in order to define if the closeness is prepared to head off to a higher level.
