  • Unfair Airline Situations and Rules

    Unfair Airline Situations and Rules

    April 24, 2020 / italy travel, Namibia Tours, tours for women, travel tips

    Airplane rules? I was on an AA flight coming home from our Tuscan Cooking Trip– coach of course- and the meal choices were red sauce spaghetti or chicken with red sauce spaghetti. Well I am not allowed to eat tomato sauce, so was totally out of luck for a 7 hour flight. (Forgot to say, the snack was pizza with tomato sauce.) As I was traveling solo, had no one to complain to. Complaining is always a catharsis even when hungry. …

     
  • Shocking Reasons Women Travel

    Shocking Reasons Women Travel

    April 21, 2020 / single womens travel, singles vacations, small group travel, solo travel, spa trips, tours for women, Uncategorized

    Shocking reasons women travel. To get away from routine or boredom. Many women travel to reaffirm independence.  Many women travel to learn.  Even more travel to avoid loneliness.

      Who doesn’t like to get away from routine and miserable weather? Going South in winter is a welcome break.  However, that women travel break can also include going to a beach alone with no one to hold your wallet.  It can include trying to enjoy dinner amongst talkative families. My first trip to Ixtapan Spa in Mexico was alone (admittedly at the invitation of the owner.)…

      Widows: Your Wanderlust and Wishes

      April 14, 2020 / guided vacations for women, italy travel, ixtapan spa, Morocco tours, overseas adventure travel for women, single womens travel, singles vacations, South Africa Tour, Uncategorized

       

      Please share with friends who are widows who wish to travel. Vacations for widows?

      Being quarantined has made loneliness worse. This blog post was originally sent out only about taking a first trip alone. It is revised to reflect what we are going through during the pandemic: March-May 2020. Vacations for widows are even more intimidating now.

      Let me start by saying these  thoughts come from talking to you out there and from my friends.

      Planning a trip as a solo is a different exercise.…

      Passover and Travel

      Passover travel - Albania with The Women's Travel Group Tours and Jewish sites
      Picnic Lunch Albania

      A note about Jewish Travel. Visiting religious sites when you travel makes a difference in understanding history. Today is Passover, and The NY Times tells us that a Passover Service was held 5th century BC on Elephantine Island in the Nile, Egypt.

      The Women’s Travel Group is multi-ethnic; however when we find a unique historical site of any religion we share it and try to add it to our trips. For those going to Greece with us end September, we contacted the Jewish Community for a Yom Kippur service.…

      Women’s Travel Nerves and Common Mistakes. A Self Help Guide

      April 3, 2020 / single supplement waiver, singles vacations, The Women's Travel Group, women's travel, women's travel tips

       

      Women’s Travel Nerves. Tips from the Experts.  I was just in London when hearing that Trump was closing the US Border. Why was I unable to take a day to think about it? Why did I not realize that this was an impossible mandate? Because I am a woman traveling solo? I reacted too fast, bought a new one way ticket at a ridiculous price and flew home. The plane was empty, the mandate was false; therefore, I should have waited and gone the next day.…

      Ways to Make A Meal British at Home until The Women’s Travel Group and you are back on the road on a Britain tour. The time will come sooner than you think!

      Food tastes better in Europe despite the fact that ingredients can be less plentiful than in the US. Europeans substitute expertly and we are learning to do the same, rather than risk going to the supermarket.   The Women’s Travel Group is sharing a way to bring one hearty London dish to your family before you take our Britain tour.…

       
    • Stuff from Women’s Travel Group Trips: video.

      April 1, 2020 / china tours, Mexico Travel, Shopping overseas

      Video creation is new to most of us. In this post, Phyllis Stoller shares some treasures she brought back from The Women’s Travel Group trips. We are used to our phone cameras; but not to our video production. While at home and isolated, why not learn the art of video making. I am going to walk around my living room as a trial and talk about a few of the souvenirs brought home.

      Each one has a memory I wish I had filmed.…

       
    • Travel Dreams: How To Get Through the Doldrums

      Travel Dreams: How To Get Through the Doldrums

      March 31, 2020 / Britain travel

      Britain travel dreams

      The Women’s Travel Group is full of wanderlust-ed women who are currently housebound. Where do we dream about going these days? Is it cities like London or Paris? Are we drifting to wider open spaces in our reveries? 

      How to Get Around Britain

      On our trips we like to combine city and country. Here is a combo to satisfy both the urbanite and the country gals. Britain has a terrific train system; off peak is cheaper than peak commuting times. Super off peak hours are generally 10AM-3:30PM then after 7:15PM.…

      How To Order Food When You Cannot Read the Menu

      March 31, 2020 / travel tips, women's travel tips

      How to Order Food When You cannot Read the Menu? This is especially important now when you are all watching our health.

      When You Cannot Read the Menu from The Women's Travel Group
      Enjoying lunch together

      Here are suggestions from The Women’s Travel Group. Let’s use Paris as an example. You will have a wonderful local escort to translate for you, but she might not be by your side when you want a crepe on the street.

      What are your favorite foods? Fresh fish, sweets, red meat? Google translation is your new best friend.…

       
    • Travel Brochure Turn Off’s for Women

      March 27, 2020 / overseas adventure travel for women

      We love them but we hate them. Travel brochure photos tell a story about who is welcomed on the trip and who is not. A look at many brochure photos says this to women:

      Don’t come alone. Dining photos show either couples, families or groupings of people who seem to know each other: toasting together or looking familiarly at one another. You don’t ever see a captain’s table with an empty seat not yet taken? In fact, you don’t see travelers shaking hands and meeting each other either.…
