  • Guaranteed Superb Treatment- Women Dining Alone

    Guaranteed Superb Treatment- Women Dining Alone

    March 4, 2023 / Uncategorized

    When a woman walks into a restaurant alone, the Maitre d’ might have one of the following reactions:

    1. He/she looks behind her to see if there is another diner. 
    2. He/she asks: Are you expecting someone else? 
    3. He/she takes you to a table often near the kitchen, or service area. 

    Some background information. It is a statistical fact that men diners tip more than women tip.  Larger groups of men tip eve more, when wait staff is female and young. 

    As a result, women solo diners begin with a sexist disadvantage.   …

    Flight changed! One woman asks why?

    March 3, 2023 / Uncategorized

    How can there be two of the same flights with the same flight number…that leave at different times but arrive at the same time. This is not a trick question. I recently booked 2 Virgin Atlantic flights JFK to London Heathrow- one in March 2023 and one in April 2023. The March flight leaves at 9:15AM and arrives at 8:05PM. The April flight leaves at 8AM and arrives at 8:05PM. What is going on here? Are we stopping mid Atlantic for tea and scones?…

    Ten Pictures Worth a 1,000 Travel Complaints

    February 28, 2023 / travel tips, Uncategorized

    The Women’s Travel Group spoke to a lady last week who could use her phone camera. However she did not know how to attach a photo to an email. Here you go: take your picture. The picture is filed automatically in a camera roll or photo app. In smart phones, you select the photo you wish to share, add a check mark to it, then share it- text? email? whatspp?. 

     Here are 10 situations where a photo will save you money, time or more white hair. …

     
  • Worst things to lose on a trip

    Worst things to lose on a trip

    February 26, 2023 / Uncategorized

    The two worst things for a woman to lose on a trip, that is besides your passport, medicine, and your composure are here.

    On a trip to Rome, I forgot 2 items. Replacing them became an annoying time wasting errand. Not a credit card or medicine.  Nor was it a trip document or phone charger. It was a hair brush and lip balm.

    You might feel lousy when you awaken up the first morning overseas. Sleep was spotty, the bed different and and jet lag interrupted sleep.…

    Lost Medicine on a Trip? travel tips for Women

    February 24, 2023 / Uncategorized

    Source: CDC

    Bad news for lost medicine on a trip. Do not rely on overseas mail. Read this from The Women’s Travel Group.

    What happens if you lose your pills, run out or drop them, as did a lady on our India trip. Can you get replacements overseas? Will local drugs be safe?  The CDC recommends a minimum of 30 days medical supplies on a trip. Most drug companies refuse more than 30 days of medicine.  If your trip is longer, plan immediately.…

     
  • Older women can travel anywhere

    Older women can travel anywhere

    February 22, 2023 / Uncategorized

    Stories about traveling women focus on the cool exploits of 20 something adventurers. They scuba, they parasail, they hike up mountains. They wear size nothing leggings and technical shoes. 

    Where are we older women in these stories? The answer is no where. We are not considered cool; yet we are very much so.

    Older women have money and once retired we have lower expenses. We begin to fly Business class. We shop for finer items. We tip nicely.  Cruises have 20% solos, mainly female.…

     
  • When a suitcase zipper breaks & this old lady is crying.

    When a suitcase zipper breaks & this old lady is crying.

    January 17, 2023 / Uncategorized

    This was the horror moment of a recent trip. The carry on suitcase zipper for the Delta flight broke. This is when you zip up and see a gap at the base. So what to do after crying? Tape the case? Then no access to carry on contents. Buy a luggage strap if you see one at the airport? My experience is they stretch and break. Tape is messy but it works on hostages and suitcases.

    Now you are going ‘to invest’ in a new carry on suitcase.…

    How to Get a Free Trip, be the Leader and Not have a Breakdown

    November 18, 2022 / Uncategorized

    I remember my first travel group 31 years ago. At the farewell dinner, one woman excitedly asked: Where are we going next year? That was the beginning of 30 years of group trips for women.

  • Scared to try a spa vacation?

    Scared to try a spa vacation?

    November 9, 2022 / Uncategorized

    Scared of a spa vacation. Try chair yoga, or try sitting in a chair if you cannot sit on the floor
    Chair Yoga

    The Women’s Travel Group hopes these easy spa vacation tips remove the fear.

    Arrive at a reasonable hour even if you need to leave home very early.

    Some spas are really resorts with a few facilities. Ask how many treatment rooms the resort has and how many staffers.  Does the manicurist also do facials; if so, this is not a true spa.

    Have a goal; a goal helps you schedule properly with priorities. i.e.: weight loss. stress reduction, relaxation?…

    Math 101 for Women Who Travel

    November 2, 2022 / airplane delays, airport tips, frequent flier tickets, Uncategorized

    There is a Math 101 to learn and share, if you are women who travel. Specific numbers and letters will find a booking, retrieve ff miles, and send you to the right gate at the airport.

    The first number is your ticket number! Your reservation is stored by the airline in two ways. The ticket number is a long list of numbers and upper case letters. It will be in smaller font and on your boarding pass and reservation.…
