    The New York Times Travel Staff solicit pitches from travel writers in the US and overseas, to get to its short list of Top Destinations each year. In 2016 they chose Mexico City  as the TOP DESTINATION for the following reasons:

    A metropolis that has it all.  Colorful culture with futuristic art and traditional murals side by side, Aztec history everywhere, unique architecture, great food, and bargains via a Peso that collapsed along with oil prices. Moreover, Mexico City has more and cheaper flights from North America than ever before including discounters SWAir, Jet Blue and Interjet.…

    Turquoise heart necklace: $16

    Blouses embroidered by the woman selling them to you: $5-6

    Today our Yucatan Group Departs-Tips for Mexico

    December 2, 2016 / Mexico Travel, Shopping overseas, The Women's Travel Group, travel tips, women's travel tips

    Here are a few smart tips for travel to Mexico with The Women’s Travel Group or anyone else.

    Bring $100 in singles, the peso is 19 to a dollar making the dollar king in Mexico. Bring unmarked bills, hopefully new from your bank’s teller.

    Contact your phone company, ATT for instance now includes Mexico for free. But you need to call ATT and put that option on your service. Others charge a small fee, again you need to ask for it or you will be charged roaming.…

    Whatever your politics, you might worry about the image of Americans with Trump as President. During the 60’s the Dollar was king, the elite traveled; Americans were new rich tourists aka The Ugly Americans. During the 70’s we stayed in hostels  flyew on charter flights. If it was Tuesday it was Belgium. In the 80’s we flooded Europe and SE Asia many with first passports. In the 90’s overseas travel started in college with junior years abroad. 2000’s tourists went to new countries in Eastern Europe, did volunteer tourism and adult study programs.…

     
  • Why Mexico?

    Why Mexico?

    November 28, 2016 / Uncategorized

    Why are we the only women’s travel group with cultural and spa tours to Mexico? A simple answer is most Norte Americanas see Mexico as a cruise and beach destination. Most Americans ignore the ancient history, amazing archaeological sites, Indian festivals,  modern art and gourmet food found so close.

    Mexico City  was named one of the Top Destinations Globally last year by a long list of newspapers and travel magazines.

    Why go now with The Women’s Travel Group?

    The peso is halved from 10-19 for a dollar, yikes…..…

  • Traveling Alone: Don't be Ashamed

    October 27, 2016 / single womens travel, singles vacations, small group travel, solo travel, Uncategorized

    “I am going to try ‘alone’ travel” she said on the phone today. This is a comment we hear almost daily.  It is often said with slight embarrassment or hesitation.  Women are social animals. As such, we don’t like to admit our friends will not join our travels, or that we don’t even have traveling friends!

    So what are the worst things that can happen on a tour. What can you do about it once you are launched.

    1. You don’t feel good on Day 1.

  • Take Advantage of Others' Travel Fears

    October 19, 2016 / cooking trips for women, Mexico Travel, overseas adventure travel for women, travel warnings, Uncategorized

    Travel is as safe as ever. Newspapers are not as popular as ever. What connects the two subjects? To motivate you to buy a paper/read it on line/ or glance at a newsstand, head lines have to be horrifying and misleading.

    Middle Eastern refugees will not attack you in Europe. Berbers will not throw a bomb at you in Morocco.  No one is waiting in a niche at the Colosseum in Rome to rob you. But newspaper headlines will hint that all of this will happen, and will happen to YOU.…
