    Safe, Sane and Smart Travel

    March 23, 2016 / overseas adventure travel for women, The Women's Travel Group, Uncategorized

    IMG_2165Here are a few of us in India we are booking this trip now.

    My wonderful friend died of breast cancer years ago.  I still miss her and her travel lust.  Why mention this? Because more of my friends have died of breast cancer than of terrorism. The stats are something like 50 to cancer/ 0 to terrorism.

    Why do we freak at the current Belgian headlines? Unexpected events have a greater impact on us than do everyday losses. Next time you are worried, think of how many friends you have lost to illness, drug addiction and suicide.…

    The Women’s Travel Group  tour of 17 just returned from Ethiopia,an exotic trip we organize. We traveled from well developed Addis Ababa to remote  Arba Minch. Here are some of the instructions which made our trip so successful.

    Check altitude of the destination, so you are prepared/and or take it easy the first days. Addis is 8,000 ft.

    Do not depend on weather history. Global changes are affecting travel. Normally cool Ethiopia was hotter due to El Nino this year.…

    Last minute is when the worries swell and ruin your sleep. But women have different and surprising concerns. The Women’s Travel Group is sharing these with you so you do not feel you are crazy!

    The clothes conundrum: did I bring enough? The right kind? Should I buy hiking shoes: answer not really. Even how many times do you wear each pair of socks? Wear what is comfortable and light, what you can wash in a sink ( use shampoo), or what does not show dirt like dark colors.…

    Why Husbands Don't Travel?

    oman

    Don’t take it personally, men travel less than women, and men travel to exotic destinations less than women. Statistically, men like to return to places they liked and women prefer new adventures.

    So if you decide to join a tour to say, Iran or Mongolia, you will not be the only woman. In fact we find that exotic tours from The Women’s Travel Group fill the fastest. Why is this?

    Obviously most of us will not visit these places alone.…

    OK so we get annoyed also. We notice the only times women get travel news headlines is when bad stuff happens, like the Zika Virus or rape in India. The New York Times Travel Section on Sunday wrote an unusually wonderful story about 4 women traveling in Namibia.

    Why did this catch our eye? Because a day before we posted our Namibia trip on line! If you review trends for travel, you will see our choices ahead of the pack:

  • Worst Mistakes When Delayed by Weather

    January 25, 2016 / travel insurance for women, travel tips, travel warnings, Uncategorized

    Delays due to weather/strikes happen.  This list is what you should NOT do:

    Panic, it will not help you to make sharp decisions.

    Call your travel agent unless she/he booked the actual flight.

    Pull out your credit card immediately.

    Stand in a long frenzied line with screaming people.

    Pack in luggage your phone charger; always keep it in carry on.

    Here is what you SHOULD do:

    Scan trip documents for the 24/7 emergency numbers of your trip. Always keep the 24/7 numbers for your flights/cruise/tour on hand.…

    Female Neurosis– Insomnia in Travel

    January 12, 2016 / solo travel, travel tips, Uncategorized

    More than men, women have sleep problems when we travel.  Jet lag and being away from home–possibly for the first time alone –can complicate the issue.

    If you can, fly so you arrive early evening. Do not exercise heavily before bed; but a nice walk will help. On some trips like our Colors of India, there are choices of flight arrivals.

    Start moving into the new time zone before you leave. Get up early or stay up late whichever applies. Some jet lag like that for our China trip is easier going there than coming home.…

     
  • Travel Chores You Should Never Delay

    January 6, 2016 / overseas adventure travel for women, river cruises for women, Uncategorized

    January is a time to procrastinate. After finishing the year. we slow down for winter and hide under the covers.

    Here are a travel chores to do immediately:

    Book solo specials. We get many single cabins at the double rate.They disappear.  On our solo special cruises, we sell out the best deals first. July 2016  we are offering Gems of SE Europe from AMA Waterways, our favorite river cruiser.  For new travelers AMA is a  welcoming way to see the world.…

     
  • Tips for Winter Spa/Fitness Getaways

    December 30, 2015 / gluten free travel, ixtapan spa, last minute travel, overseas adventure travel for women, single supplement waiver, single womens travel, singles vacations, solo travel, spa trips, travel tips

    Tips for choosing a winter wellness week.

                                   Ixtapan Spa will be your 2016 gift.

    1. Make sure your hotel includes fitness and/or spa treatments in prices. Do not be fooled by discounted room prices. Service charges on spa treatments are usually 20% on top of the price.
    2. Ask what is walkable from the hotel.  Everyone wants to leave the confines of a resort, no matter how lovely, and many destination resorts are remotely situated.
    3. Shopping? Is there shopping near.  Most hotels have ridiculously overpriced shops.
