  • You can Go Home Again

    May 26, 2015 / canyon ranch, India travel, Ireland, ixtapan spa, last minute travel, Uncategorized

    It is true that you cannot go home again. But you can travel again post widowhood, divorce,ex-partner or just reluctant husband. You might not see Paris as ‘a romantic’ or Mexico as ‘beach margaritas’ or India as a ‘shoppers’ delight’. But you will see these places with new colors: Paris as ‘elegant but cosy’; Mexico as ‘artistically modern’; India as ‘insightful and ayurvedic’.

    Traveling the second time around or third if you were a hosteler in the 1960’s-70’s is different, not less wonderful.…

    Worst Weekend Getaway Mistakes

    Kenya

     

    Dinner in Africa

     

    Memorial Weekend is here, and lucky women get to go away. Every year we tend to make the same prep mistakes. Some cost money and some just aggravation. Here are some tips from The Women’s Travel Group.

    We take an entire inventory of plastic ccards, even those we do not need at all ie local museum or Big Box store memberships.

    Then if we have a problem, we forget to bring the fraud number of each card and cannot cancel them promptly.…

     
  • Ten Unusual 'Don't take on Vacation" things

    May 19, 2015 / credit cards overseas, India travel, Ireland, overseas adventure travel for women, Shopping overseas, travel warnings

    Credit cards for stores. We once had a woman show her Loehmann’s credit card as proof of identity- it worked but leave store/gasoline cards home.

    Passwords on a piece of paper. If you must bring passwords, code them first. Take a photo of your list, and hide somewhere in your email account. A photo cannot be hacked.

    Good costume jewelry; it might look real enough to get you robbed. And it will probably set off the TSA machinery if you wear it.…

     
  • How does WTravel Group travel?

    How does WTravel Group travel?

    May 18, 2015 / canyon ranch, India travel, Ireland, italy travel, ixtapan spa, spa trips

    ricks     Some times in a rickshaw? Today a woman asked what vehicles do we use? Easy answer: it depends on the group size and the terrain we are covering. Here are a few examples: Small group, short distances: usually a 15-21 seater bus still with some empty seats. That is what we use in Tuscany and Ireland, a 17 seater for 8 women plus guide and driver. Long distance: almost always a larger bus, with air conditioning, and very comfortable seats.…

    Men-Women Stupid Travel Surveys

    May 15, 2015 / canyon ranch, India travel, Ireland, overseas adventure travel for women, Uncategorized

    The photo is our doorman in India; we just like it but no relevance to this blog post at all.

    doormanWhy spend millions to discover what all of us know already? Here are a few bits from a recent survey comparing men and women travelers:

    We care more about getting to the airport on time and about security. Duh: who did the carpool? And who watched out for safety in the playground?

    We wanted improvements to bathrooms; men wanted quieter cabins.…

    We are often asked How Large are Your Groups? It is hard to answer when our groups range from 6-21 and often fall in the middle of those numbers. But here are a few comments about group size we have tracked for 23 years.

    21 has to be the max. Why? We have found that with 21 women in a group, everyone makes 2-5 new friends and everyone has a meaningful conversation with everyone else during the trip.…

    Once you have done the London Paris Rome trip and its clones, why not try a destination with a little sizzle?  Oddly The Women’s Travel Group has found that the more unusual the destination, the faster the tour is full. Here is what we think this trend is about:

    Carpe diem first and foremost. As we get older, we realize that some areas might pose issues for us, even if the issue is only confidence in going.…

    Who we are: The Women's Travel Group

    April 10, 2015 / India travel, Ireland, river cruises for women, single supplement waiver, singles vacations, Uncategorized

    women's travel groups SaltlakeSome of our Facebook friends have not been ‘properly’ introduced to The Women’s Travel Group. Well here goes: Phyllis Stoller founded the Women’s Travel Club in 1992 because she had 5 weeks vacation and her husband had 2. She had been a corporate banker with the time and $ to use the vacation but could not find friends to share it.

    The original Club took off amazingly fast, first with local women who felt the same way but had no way to meet each other.…

     
  • The Best Nail Biting 1st Trip-Ireland

    April 9, 2015 / Ireland, solo travel, The Women's Travel Group

    Your first nail biting trip without friends/family.Ireland

    Your first trip by yourself should be chosen carefully. Here is why Ireland is the best first trip with The Women’s Travel Group.

    Short direct to Dublin flight, less travel fatigue and less initial angst which effects all of us but more, if this is your first solo trip. A little over 6 hours from JFK makes Ireland our closest neighbor besides Portugal.

    English speaking, with a lilt and a smile. Obviously this means instructions from airport staff, hotel concierges, wait staff, taxi drivers are in your language.…

    Happy Holidays from The Women's Travel Group

    PhyllisKaro

    One of the best aspects of our group is its multi-cultural one. On The Women’s Travel Group trips, we get to meet women from different backgrounds, and different geographic areas. We have even had some women from further afield. You might enjoy hearing about some of the women I have had the privilege of traveling with recently:they are every background, every ethnic group, every age:

    Names changed to protect the ‘innocent’.
