Why you still see The Women's Travel Club on line
We have tried to notify each site that mentions our old company to update their records. It is quite amazing how many of these sites are not monitored by humans who keep their copy clean. Anyway, if you know of other former member of WTC, please spread the word that we are organizing the great trips we used to do for all those happy years. Our site is www.thewomenstravelgroup.com.
Anyone who used to be a member, gets a $100 gift when they book Argentina.…

Icky Cruising? New regulations!
New cruise regulations are here. Below is a post from 2013 in which we were helping you decide if a cruise is for you. It is time to edit this post with 2020 cruise health precautions. Firstly you should know that cruises are ‘regulated’ by an international organization of which a US organizationn is one of 9 members. However, most cruise lines are not licensed in the US, so regulations apply because they dock here or because CLIA has been so effective.…

Shopping Nightmares Overseas
Today I saw an ad for the great discount shopping outside of Disney World in Orlando. Fl. This ad reminded me, that the good old shopping we used to do overseas,might not be there anymore. Some countries still offer deals but even China with its inflation and artificially high Yuan is creeping out of bargain territory. Before you travel, do your research.
Look at sites about shopping in your target area. Check Ebay and use the actual terms: ie search for Argentine leather jacket not just leather jacket.…

Music Application for Traveling
Staying in a hotel room can be isolating; try Songza. This is a free application for a smart phone. Songza has all kinds of free music and it categorizes it by genre and by what you are doing. So for instance, classical music for reading brought up YoYo Mah playing a lovely cello piece. Music makes a room away from home feel warmer and friendlier.

To Walk or Not To Walk, that is the travel question
How much walking do our trips have? Can anyone participate in Argentina or others?
Most www.womenstravelgroup.com trips include some walking, but women should ask the following questions when they eye a trip:
1. How much in length and/or time? A slow walk over a short distance like in a walking tour might be hard on the back also. While we are walking, feel free to ask for a place to sit or a minute if you need to regroup or retie your laces or your brain.…

Early Bird 5% off on Thanksgiving/Christmas Mkts. river cruise!
5% EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT ON THIS CRUISE; NOT A TURKEY BUT A SAVINGS.
We have chosen a luxury river cruise for Thanksgiving for The Women’s Travel Group. We like the itinerary, the deluxe amenities and the food we do not have to cook. Here are general reasons why a river cruise works for women:
1. River cruises are more intimate, with smaller numbers of guests.
2. The boats dock in towns, so you are not a ‘prisoner’ on board and your stroll is not limited to a deck.… -
Airline Taxes and More
Today Joe Sharkey of The Times discusses the rise in airline taxes. He mentions the cost of jet fuel, almost 50% up since January 2010. Another contributor is the lower dollar: as the dollar drops, taxes in foreign currencies rise. For instance, lets assume that your ticket to London includes a British airport security or construction tax in Pounds. If the dollar falls, and the Pound rises, your taxes will rise and so will the cost of your all in ticket.…

Travel Tip: Airplane Pillows
Hate those pillows but need some support. Bring your own pillow case, and stuff it with your coat or sweater or something in your carry on. Or buy yourself a very light and squishable pillow: LL Bean sells one with plaid upside and grey downside. But buy a bright color so you do not leave it on the seat on departure.
This is even more important now that passengers want clean and sanitzed airplane items. For a full list of what we suggest you pack, contact us here:…
