Drinking Dangers when Traveling
Admit it most of us drink alcohol, wine, at least, when we travel. Wine is part of the meal experience and on some trips like Paris for the Holidays we include it. Drinking alcohol when you are traveling, comes with some serious cautions!!!!!
Some Do’s and some dangerous Don’ts.
Do enjoy a drink on the plane if it helps you relax. Secure important items like money, passport, docs, ipad so no one can intrude if you fall asleep. That might mean actually pushing your money container inside your pants and locking up your ipad in your overhead bag. …

Single Hotel Room Problems for Women
The big issue with single rooms on tours is the cost. European hotel charge by the room not by the person,making one in a room double price.

On India we guarantee them by the way: Nov 11-22 still taking reservations.
Sharing a room can be comfortable. The biggest worry is female idea that we are ‘hostesses’ and need to be chatty when we want quiet time in the room. …

Is inflexible.
Uses the word ‘I’ all the time.
Is a great fashionista.
Going in a group with other women, helps dilute your friend out, but why do we even have these five
red flags?…

She had been a corporate banker with the time and $ to use the vacation but could not find friends to share it.The original Club took off amazingly fast, first with local women who felt the same way but had no way to meet each other.…
