    “Why did I buy it”?

    September 19, 2024 / Uncategorized

    The Women's Travel Group tells what not to buy overseas.
    Visiting Vineyards in Italy with The Women’s Travel Group

    Women like to scratch their shopping itch when traveling abroad. Here are a few items to reconsider.

    Shoes. Shoes in Western Europe, especially Portugal, Spain and Italy are mouth-wateringly attractive and cheap. Bear in mind the following: the ‘last’ used in European shoes can be different from the ‘last’ used in shoes made for the  American market. European shoes can be narrower, with sizing based on centimeters not inches. The difference in measurement can alter the shoe fit.…

    Be Your Own Concierge

    September 17, 2024 / Uncategorized

    Even in a group tour like The Women’s Travel Group, you might want to book an extra goody, with guaranteed transportation. You can use a concierge; but be aware they might get a commission and might only offer expensive suggestions.

    Some apps we use in North America can be used overseas. Uber is the best example. When in another country, your Uber app works, debits your credit card with a fair US exchange rate. Not sure Uber is available? Click on the app and it will show asap if it works in say Tokyo or Bangkok.…

    Asia too Far for Senior Women?

    The Women's Travel Group Tours to Asia
    The Women’s Travel Visits India

    The Women’s Travel Group shares information to help you to explore some of the most enthralling places on earth: travel to Asia.

    1   Tackling, surviving and even enjoying long distance flights. Travelers are anxious before a major trip. Flying to Europe is usually at night; we know we are in for a restless partially sitting up 7-9 hours. We know we will be tired, hungry at the wrong times, awake with the moon.   

    There are pleasant surprises when you fly N.…

     
  • Women and Travel Constipation

    Women and Travel Constipation

    August 22, 2024 / Uncategorized

    It is not The New York Times we grew up with. An excellent recent article in the Travel Section was about Travel Constipation. We, women relate. Some of us fret. Some worry ahead of time. Worst, some women do not travel at all for fear of mixed up “internal” health.

    The Times has the following suggestions and we added more.

  • Female Travel Insomnia

    Female Travel Insomnia

    August 19, 2024 / travel and sleep

    Why do women suffer from insomnia before a trip? Even experienced travelers have trouble sleeping the night before departure. 

    Women's Travel Group flight worries.
    The Women’s Travel Group

    Some women experience travel anxiety because of bad experiences. A cancelled flight,  going to the flight with an expired passport (full disclosure it was me in August 2024).  Experts say most worry is not connected to specific experiences; worry rests somewhere in our grey matter.

    The Sleep Foundation lists reasons for sleeplessness: fear of flying, anxiety about problems during the trip, packing, arrival time worries, motion sickness, long flights, chance of delays or interruptions, inability to sleep sitting up, dryness and  germs on planes.…

    Airline App Lesson 101

    August 14, 2024 / airline apps, Uncategorized

    How likely are senior women to load electronic travel apps on smart phones? I say: highly unlikely. Most of us are half in the modern and half in the non-electronic world. We love sending photos with phones; we hesitate to manage flights on the smart phone airline app.

    Here is why it is best to learn the airline app and get on with it.

  • What Traveling Women Fear

    What Traveling Women Fear

    August 13, 2024 / travel tips for women, Uncategorized, women's travel tips

    Travel advertising is a turn off to us senior women. Brochure photos show clothing often associated with hiking, and the outdoors. Jackets by Patagonia? Shirts by Columbia? Parachute pants by LL Bean?  Women travelers often analyze clothing especially shoes to assess the group. Women travelers do not relate to groups wearing fly fishing outfits. In sum, travel clothing in industry brochures is a turn off to senior women. We are retired or still working professionals; we need to be a teeny bit of a slob on the road. …

    Seeing the World High Up

    July 30, 2024 / cooking trips in Italy, dubai travel, italy travel, Paris

    What the Paris Olympics told me…

    Some European cities are magical. From high up they are fantastical.  I hate heights, but panoramas tell a story like no other. Watching the Paris Olympics made me reconsider climbing or riding to heights to catch the best views. From the air, wow’s are wow er.

    In Paris you can climb up to the basilica of  Sacre Coeur for views from the highest natural point on a hill. You can climb the Arc de Triomphe for a panorama of the ladder like boulevards.…

     
  • Rejoice with Rivers

    Rejoice with Rivers

    July 26, 2024 / river cruises for women

    On television watching the Olympics, we often see the curve of Seine River. The elegant buildings, islands and tree lined shores are thrilling. Why are rivers so engaging for us women travelers? They are natural, free flowing and they ‘talk’ to us about history and humanity. Below is why we love river cruises, especially those with special single rates.

    As the Romans traveled North from Southern Europe, they traded, ‘married’ and fought their way, mainly along rivers. They used rivers as the best, safest routes modes, well before they built those famous Roman roads.…
