Horror: The Airplane Bathrooms
No one likes to talk about horror of airplane bathrooms. Today that is one of the most talked about horrors. The airplane bathrooms are small and according to Bloomberg, they are getting smaller.

Places to Go in 2018 and Why Norway?
The New York Times publishes a list of 50 places to go each year. Some of these places would never be on one of The Women’s Travel Group’s bucket lists. Others are a surprise. Some areas are included because of new museums, more air routes or a festival. Countries create festivals to commemorate the 500 anniversary of whatever.
