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.… -
5 Best Clothing Items for Layering: our Argentina trip will take in 2 climates.
Since many trips take in more than one climate, here are a few tips for layering when the need arises.
1. Good tights, not cotton but get a mix of rayon and lycra.
2. Long sleeved silk or nylon body-hugging shirt.
3. North Face or other puffy jacket with pockets inside and out. I prefer black.
4. Cheap scarf: $5 on a Manhattan street corner!
5. One pair of pants a size too large so you can fit the tights underneath them.… -

Airline Rules Contested
The papers today suggest that the announcement: “You must stay in your cabin and class of service”, is not actually an airline rule! However if you breach instructions and ,heaven forbid, push back the curtain or use the business class toilets, yikes, staff might strong arm you. Suggestions here:
1. Get all names of staff involved. If they say they will contact the captain write down his/her name as well. Be discreet.
2. Record witnesses’ statements on your phone.
3. Send a certified letter to the airline asking for an apology- they will not compensate you so just go for the apology then tell the world.… -
Cold Weather Airplane Tips from www.thewomenstravelgroup.com
Tips for Cold Weather Airplane Travel from Thewomenstravelgroup.com
1. Do not assume you do not need a winter coat. Even if flying to the Caribbean, take it in case of unexpected detours.
2. Sitting near the airplane window is chilly around the feet, wear knee socks and warmer than normal shoes. Try to insulate the plane wall with your coat or other.
3. If you get on the plane first, take one of the increasingly few blankets and use it! Or buy a cheap fleece one at a Target/Sears/TJMaxx type of store.…

Where is The Women's Travel Club?
Some history: The Club was founded by Phyllis Stoller in 1992. It grew into a national organization with accolades and awards. In 2006 Phyllis sold the Club to ABC Destinations, a group tour company. The new owners closed all their businesses in October 2012, including our wonderful Women’s Travel Club.
We reopened as The Women’s Travel Group, same people, same themes with a slight twist. We are now offering longer, more in depth tours with ‘smart itineraries’. We are the only women’s travel group to identify this new untapped area: college educated women who want to learn as well as have fun and who want a more comprehensive tour about the country and its people.…

A checklist for brochure vocabulary from The Women's Travel Group
The Women’s Travel Group, a specialty tour operator for women, offers this vocabulary checklist to all women travelers who want a smart trip!
.
1. How many days are ‘drive by or city tours‘? Try for the minimum but do not miss city highlights.

3. The word ‘options‘: many options means you have under budgeted your vacation.…
