Travel Addiction: Why Women?
For a travel addict 2020 was deeply painful and depressing. Personally a sighting of a suitcase brings tears. In The Women’s Travel Group are many travel addicts reading this post. Here is the story of others just like me and probably you.

Where it Startedl: The Public Library The itch came from The Last of the Mohicans by James Fenimore Cooper.…

Shocking Reasons Women Travel
Shocking reasons women travel. To get away from routine or boredom. Many women travel to reaffirm independence. Many women travel to learn. Even more travel to avoid loneliness.
Who doesn’t like to get away from routine and miserable weather? Going South in winter is a welcome break. However, that women travel break can also include going to a beach alone with no one to hold your wallet. It can include trying to enjoy dinner amongst talkative families. My first trip to Ixtapan Spa in Mexico was alone (admittedly at the invitation of the owner.)…

Winter Sun Without Sunburn
Winter Sun Without Getting Burned
Many of us avoid beach holidays but by March, we yearn for sun and warmth. March is the horrible month for women in the North and Mid Atlantic; so we always arrange a few March warm getaways. In Spring, Sicily and Malta will be ruined by cruise crowds. In Summer, both will be intolerably hot. Go in March with The Women’s Travel Group.
Here is why you should take our Sicily and Malta Trip: it is linked here.…

There is no better food on earth…than you will eat on our Sicily trip March 19-29 2020
The March climate is warmed by mild Mediterranean breezes. Over the centuries Sicilian food was influenced by the Greeks, Spanish, French, Arabs and New World. In fact, the first cookbook with a known named author was written by a Sicilian cook in 5th century BC.
Here is what history cooks for our trip to Sicily and Malta

Bad Mistakes women make when traveling in a heat wave
The Mistakes Women Make in Hot Travel Weather from The Women’s Travel Group, small group tours for women.
Bushmen art in Africa from one of our Africa trips. We want to look good so we don’t pull back our hair.

We don’t drink enough water worrying that we will not find suitable bathroom.
We eat salty snacks for in-between hunger or because they are given on the plane.…

Gene Autry and Your Next Trip? Watch here and share with other women
We recently received a call from a the woman said: I have not traveled since my husband died and I think it is time to GET BACK IN THE SADDLE AGAIN. Her reference to the vintage Gene Autry song had us hunting on utube, to hear him sing. We realized that her reference meant something only to women of a certain age. Autry appeared in 93 films, and between 1950 and 1956 hosted The Gene Autry Show television series. We, of that age, remember him from his Christmas songs and his straight shooting brave and honest roles.…

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.
Are we Luddites?…
