Murder on a Women's Tour
Here are ‘reasonable reasons’ for combat: and we hope you agree with them. If not let us know by posting here.
Whining: Solve any issue immediately even if it seems insgnificant. You will be surprised at how flexible The Women’s Travel Group can be. However everyone gets one day to whine…. maybe just a little. After jet lag, for instance on our India trip, everyone will be tired, go with it.
Regretting: If you wanted to buy something or think you overpaid for it, move on.… -
