Since you guys were best friends, I'm sure you shouldn't have a problem finding fun stuff to do. Don't worry too much about her "preppy" status, etc... it didn't prevent you being friends with her before, did it?
Anyways, I do understand that hanging out with long-distance friends IS different than hanging with friends you see every day at school, but it's really not that different. But for a few ideas...
-Shopping is fun.
-go to a fun coffee/bagel/ice cream/whatever place and spend 2 hours gabbing as you eat/drink.
-do the stuff you used to do in elementary school but haven't done for years (like swings at the park, sidewalk chalk, basketball, board games, disney movies, hair braiding, etc.)
-go see a movie, or rent movies to watch at home
Since you haven't talked in a while, you'll either find that you've both changed and the friendship isn't the same, OR you'll find that you've both got so much to tell each other about your lives that you'll spend the whole time talking.
I've almost always found the 2nd option to be true... I moved in 9th grade, and now I'm away at college, so I now have long-distance friends in many locations. One of my best friends, Molly, and I only see each other about once every 6 months (for the past 5 years now) and we don't talk or email often inbetween, yet when we're together, it's like nothing has changed. A couple days ago, I visited her and we spent the entire Saturday together, went out for lunch, watched movies at her house, but most of the time we just talked- about everything and anything.
Do you have other friends that your best friend was friends with before she moved? Maybe you could arrange to meet up with some of them when she visits. My friends sometimes did this for me after I moved- I'd be back for a weekend, and spend the night at Molly's, but then Molly and I would go out for coffee with 2 other friends.
Anyways, good luck. Send me a message in my inbox if you want more of my stories on the whole friends-after-moving thing- I've got many more encouraging stories I could share, if you want.
