  • The Pre-Trip 3 Day Guide

    February 6, 2014 / single supplement waiver, singles vacations, solo travel, The Women's Travel Group, tours for women, travel insurance for women, women's travel tips

    1. Re-read all the documents that came with your trip package and put them in carry on bags. Same with your insurance policy and keep the travel insurance company number handy. You might need to call them from the airport if your flight is cancelled. Solo travelers especially be diligent.

    2. Check weather again in both destination and any stopover airport.

    3. Re-scan the seating chart of your flight to see if a better seat turned up.

    4. Starting at your head, going down to your toes, think through what you packed and what you have forgotten.…

     
  • Travel Don'ts with Special Needs

    February 5, 2014 / The Women's Travel Group, tours for women, travel warnings, women's travel tips, womens travel clubs

    Today I had a nice call from a woman who is planning on going to Morocco with us for Thanksgiving. She studied the itinerary and asked if she could sit in front of the bus for the one longer drive over the Atlas Mts. The answer was of course, yes.

    Here are typical and atypical special needs we have been asked before:

    1. Car sickness, yes sit in front.

    2. Hearing impaired, yes sit near the guide so you can hear him.…

     
  • How to Complain about Airline Crew

    January 30, 2014 / singles vacations, solo travel, The Women's Travel Group, travel tips, travel warnings, women's travel

    As we are not allowed to carry liquids on planes we suggest you, at least bring an empty bottle. You can then be more vigilant about staying hydrated during the trip. Crew serve water/juice etc in those tiny cups and even two at a time is not enough. Drinking more for the 48 hours before your trip is also a smart idea.  We have heard that some travelers have carried on frozen water as a non liquid; truly do not. Each time travelers play around with the rules, we put the airline in jeopardy of fines.…

     
  • Do's and Don'ts for a First Spa Trip from The Women's Travel Group

    January 28, 2014 / single supplement waiver, singles vacations, solo travel, The Women's Travel Group, tours for women, travel clubs

        * Go for at least 4 nights if you want a true perspective.

        * Meet with spa coordinators immediately and have a list of prepared questions.

  • 5 'Do Nots' for Spa Trips to Ixtapan Spa and Canyon Ranch

    January 27, 2014 / The Women's Travel Group, travel tips

    —-Do not pack your sneakers! Buying new ones at a spa can be both expensive and impossible if your luggage is delayed.
    —-Do not buy new spandex work out clothes! Wear what is comfy for you, spend the money on something more important.
    —-Do not plan your time before you go, you will find surprises and other things to do you were no aware of: Lecture at Canyon Ranch? Walk into town in Ixtapan de la Sal? Special service like acupuncture at Ixtapan Spa?…

     
  • A non-group with The Women's Travel Group

    A non-group with The Women's Travel Group

    January 21, 2014 / asian trips for women, river cruises for women, single supplement waiver, singles vacations, solo travel

    Sometimes we obtain specials which we like to share with you. Many women come with us for the group dynamics and group dining. But sometimes, women come for the discounted prices we offer at famous spas and fitness hotels. If you are interested in Ixtapan Spa or Canyon Ranch Health Resort, and want the special price but not the groupie business, that is fine with us.

    We also offer AMA Waterways, which is valuable as we have blocks on hard to get Burma and Tulip cruises.…

    The most important reason to go to a spa is to re-tool and re-boost yourself with a number of continuous days of fitness and good eating.…

     
  • Airplane delays and cancellations

    January 14, 2014 / airplane delays, single supplement waiver, singles vacations, solo travel, The Women's Travel Group, travel insurance for women

    Today Joe Sharkey, my favorite airline journalist, announces the huge number of cancellations and delays caused earlier this month by weather. Here are some reasons you need insurance:

    1-Plane severely delayed and you need a new transfer to Ixtapan Spa: $170 private transfer one way. (More than our group deal)

    2- Weather prevents you from getting to your flight and you take another one.

    3- You sprain your ankle (my husband did over Christmas on a trip), and you need to fly next day.…

     
  • The cheapest gifts in Ixtapan De la Sal near Ixtapan Spa

    The cheapest gifts in Ixtapan De la Sal near Ixtapan Spa

    January 13, 2014 / overseas adventure travel for women, single supplement waiver, singles vacations, solo travel, The Women's Travel Group, tours for women, womens travel clubs

    Fun Frida Kahlo Bags

    Here are the ‘budget’ gifts usually bring back from Mexico, and they are sold in Ixtapan de la Sal

    (home of Ixtapan Spa):

    1- Vanilla. Vanilla is cheap in Mexico, not as sweet as the Asian one but rich and fantastic in things like rice pudding and other creamy foods. Cost: $3 ish
    2- Tajin: a mix of sea salt, chili, and desiccated lime. Makes the dullest food taste amazing with a slight pop and a lime aftertaste. All-natural. Cost $1 more or less.…

     
  • Tips for Women on their First Spa Vacation

    January 10, 2014 / single supplement waiver, singles vacations, solo travel, The Women's Travel Group, women's travel tips

    Tips for Your First Spa Visit: from The Women’s Travel Group
    * Go for at least 4 nights
    * Meet with spa coordinators immediately…
    * Choose a spa that fits your needs; overseas spas emphasize beauty rather than exercise, nutrition etc.
    * Some spas are really resorts with a few spa facilities.
    * A good gauge of a spa is the number of professionals on staff and the number of treatment rooms.
    * Does the manicurist also do facials; if so, this is not a true spa.…
