  • Do You Still Need a Paper Ticket?

    Do You Still Need a Paper Ticket?

    Do you need a written paper ticket anymore? This is an older blog post but women still ask us. 

    Yes you might.  Having said that, it can be hard to even get a paper ticket anymore and some airlines only accept electronic tickets.

The easy one is called a PNR and is a record of your actual reservation.  Once your reservation is confirmed and paid, you will be sent this number.

  • 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.

    The Best Irish Foods To Eat during Our Trip July 14-24 2018  and  To Bring Home

    Please share with your Irish friends. You don’t have to be Irish to be Irish.

    Ireland is a gourmet paradise and has been for many years. The country is famous for the freshest food cooked simply and perfectly. Ireland is surrounded by gorgeous coast line and, of course, amazing fish and shell fish. Its emerald green fields produce gorgeous food.
