Packing and Weather
Packing and weather do not dance together well. During Summer, we pack light clothes and tees; therefore, forgetting that altitude and general direction of winds can create unseasonably cold air. Moreover, we forget that planes are cold and some airports as well. In winter we can overpack again forgetting that in cold weather, one can use sweaters and jeans for a number of days. But that shoes might get wet so we need a second pair.
A good way to zero in on what to pack is to make some notes on what you are wearing on different weather days.…

LOW and NO Tech Travel Hints- for Women Travelers
Each time I see an article about travel technology, my brain melts. Most of us, of a certain age, are just not interested in technology. Yes, we want a smartphone that works, wifi information and maybe a GPS. Beyond that, we just want a written document with all the details of our trip.
If you do not know how to operate your phone, stop right here and go to the Apple Store or wherever you bought it and learn basics.

Women’s vs Men’s Travel
Yes The Women’s Travel Group Bucket List is gender specific.I write this as a wife with two sons who were born overseas and traveled with me a bunch. Women are different.

We will experiment with food. But we must have a hearty breakfast, more vegetables, at least one recognizable main dish and dessert!
We like to learn. However walking tours cannot be too long; museum visits must end at absolute maximum 90 minutes.…
