  • India a Must Trip

    India a Must Trip

    January 13, 2025 / india tours, India travel

    When I graduated from Business School, I opted for a special gift: not an attache case or fancy pen. I opted for a trip to India. Films like “Gandhi” by David Attenborough and A Passage to India by David Lean displayed uniquely Indian scenery of hills and palaces, camels and cows, colors of silk and spices. Backgrounds included the tempting markets of bangles and semi precious stones, textiles, pottery and gold jewelry. There were unusual characters and wandering animals. Uniforms both simple and regal.…

  • Travelers: Say NO

    Travelers: Say NO

    January 7, 2025 / Uncategorized

    The Women’s Travel Group teaches you to say NO.Air travel is not as disruptive as hyped by press, or, as home made videos record. There are times when you have to tolerate bad behavior; there are times when you need to say NO.

    Once your boarding pass and/or face are scanned, is there a check that you sit in your assigned seat?  Here is a new word: seat squatting. Seat squatting is defined as taking an airplane seat that is not assigned to you.…

    Guide to Dining Overseas

    December 20, 2024 / cuba tours, gluten free travel, Mexico Travel, Uncategorized

    How not to be a Dining Dufus.

    The most awkward meal ever. The dinner was in Munich Germany; I could not read German but did know the word for ‘dumpling’: knodel (with accent marks). Who doesn’t love dumplings?  I ordered knodel. Time passed, the waiter brought 2 grapefruit sized beige balls.  I started uncontrollably laughing; German diners looked at me with shock. Clearly I did not know German knodel.

    We were 3 ladies on a Women’s Travel Group tour.  In the Tokyo Airport, we noticed a couple enjoying what looked like delicious pasta.…

     
  • Success; approval to enter the UK

    Success; approval to enter the UK

    December 19, 2024 / Passport renewal, Uncategorized

    Success for one from The Women’s Travel Group. !!! I applied for the new UK ETA ‘Electronic Travel Authorisation’ needed to enter the UK after January 8 2025. A similar application will be used for entering the European Union after January 8 2025. Consider applying before the crush….

    Here is what to know about the UK one only:

    Have ready:

    Passport

    Credit Card or Apple Pay

    Smart phone

    One other electronic device (my opinion).

    Make up— so you look decent (I started the process in pajamas; vanity prevailed).…

    2025 Wishes- Senior Women Travelers

    November 26, 2024 / Phyllis Stoller, singles vacations, travel insurance for women, Uncategorized, vietnam

    There is bad news for senior women travelers.  Worse news for senior women who travel solo. Lets hope 2025 brings travel industry improvements for the 77 million women over 65, who FYI hold most of the discretionary $$. (Source: AARP). Here are suggestions for the industry who might be anxious for the $7000 we each spend on travel annually. These are cheap solutions.

    Holiday Travel for the Petrified

    November 25, 2024 / airplane delays, airport tips, Holiday tours for women

    Holiday travel overseas is less busy than domestic. Only 3% of flights were cancelled in 2023 vs 28% in 2022, and trends are lower for this week even with higher volume. Statistics show holidays are less insane than the press would have you believe.

    Arrive at your airport 3+ hours before scheduled flight times.   Make sure you put your email and cell numbers into the airline app. With those contacts, you get notices of delays, cancellations, gate changes, even baggage movements (Some Airlines provide the latter Delta and SW). …

    Eat Cheap-Museum Munchies

    November 5, 2024 / travel tips, travel tips for women, Uncategorized

    So you are alone for a meal, nervous but hungry. You are overseas? Museum munchies might be your solution.  Increasingly museums are visitor friendly: seating areas, outdoor spaces, free wifi and affordable restaurants. Dining in a museum is the next thing to dining at home.

    The Women's Travel Group tips.

    Some museums have famous chefs and fancy prices. The Fondation Louis Vuitton outside of Paris boosts a restaurant called appropriately Le Frank. The founding chef has a Michelin star so expect prices to be high, reservations needed.…

    Cash? Or Card?

    October 29, 2024 / credit cards overseas, overseas adventure travel for women, Shopping overseas, travel warnings, Uncategorized

    Money when traveling overseas. Should you carry cash? Award winning tour company, The Women’s Travel Group says yes. A qualifier, carry only unmarked and un torn US bills. ( No coins. It is impossible to exchange coins overseas.)  This cash is for incidentals, ie airport shops might accept a dollar for bottled water. Or you want to give a small tip to a porter? Or donate to a charity box? For most travels, $50 is the emergency cash you might need. …
