  • Why go to Russia now? Are we welcomed?

    March 7, 2017 / Art travel, last minute travel, overseas adventure travel for women, single womens travel, singles vacations, small group travel, solo travel

    The Women’s Travel Group keeps up with on-the-ground situations. We have temporarily suspended our 2nd Iran trip; visas for Americans are on hold. We are going to Russia in July and expect the welcome to be as warm as ever. What veteran travelers know about the brand of ‘being American’, is everyone likes us.

    In Cold War years, Americans going to Russia were stared at with envy. We were like movie stars, sporting the latest in jeans and sweatshirts. Today we are just another tour group, with no particular wardrobe.…

    Will you feel like Tiny Tim in your new super-cheap airline seat?

    March 2, 2017 / frequent flier tickets, guided vacations for women, Mexico Travel, overseas adventure travel for women, small group travel, The Women's Travel Group

    Airlines are beginning to offer new crazy cheap seats: example, American Airlines and British Airways yesterday: round trip New York to London: $485. The big guys are scared of the discounters and are taking action.

     

     

     

     

     

    So what are we getting for that half priced fare?

    The same routes and same schedules, most of the flights for mid March were empty-ish.
    You will get your ff miles.

    Seats with extra leg room might cost you even if you have status on the airline.…

  • 5 Awkward Questions to Ask Your Guide

    February 23, 2017 / Uncategorized

     

    In the back of many women’s minds are  questions we are afraid to ask a guide. Often we worried women stay home for fear of ‘ embarrassing situations’.  So what are our major embarrassing hang ups?

    Bathroom needs: Many women  have urgent bathroom needs. Some of this is medical; some  because we are worried about not having a bathroom at hand. I know personally, that as soon as I go to the theater in New York, I  begin to think about the bathroom line and if there is time to get to the front!…

    Where in the World is Waldo Safe?

    January 30, 2017 / Holiday tours for women, overseas adventure travel for women, tours for women, travel tips, travel warnings

    Every day when I wake up, the paper and tv tell me to hide in the deepest closet. There I might be safe, if I don’t eat sugar, fat, processed foods, or salt. So are we safe if we travel today? Who are all these pundits and are they for real?

    There are the safety consultants, usually for profit companies, who want you to hire them for consultations or training in judo.

    There are battalions of former– not all so young –military personnel now on the payroll of tv news programs. …

We do not stress shopping in our trips, but there is always some time to forage. Ask us for our Bargaining Tips. www.thewomenstravelgroup.com.

    1. Jewelry of any kind. Packing even fake jewelry is an invitation for theft. Packing jewelry that has large stars on it is an invitation for the TSA to confiscate it as a possible weapon.

  • Get a Life in 2017

    January 17, 2017 / last minute travel, Mexico Travel, overseas adventure travel for women, Uncategorized

    How come we all don’t Get a Life?  What holds us back from taking a trip?  The Women’s Travel Group believes it is habits and allergies.

    Habits are what we acquire; saying good things like Thank You, doing good deeds like picking up litter or reacting appropriately like smiling at a child. Habits are also bad, no need to list those. But did you ever think about traveling as a habit? Once you get out of the habit or if you never had the habit, making a decision about travel is worrisome.…
