  • Carrying gifts on Airplanes

    November 15, 2013 / Holiday tours for women, Morocco tours, Shopping overseas, women's travel tips

    Like many of you, I will be bringing gifts for my family next week and on that super- crowded Thanksgiving flight. Yes, even we professional travelers end up on the most overbooked flights! Here is my conundrum: how do I pack the gifts so they do not disappear at the TSA scanner? Ideas welcomed from all of you.

    So far, I will triple wrap the small things in other containers.

    I have alas larger ‘objects’ for the guys in the family.…

     
  • Five Ways to Ruin a Holiday Trip

    November 14, 2013 / Holiday tours for women, Morocco tours, single supplement waiver, singles vacations, solo travel, The Women's Travel Group

    Read all the scare stories about crowds and overbooking.
    (You can easily avoid nerves by getting to the airport early, snack in hand and patience in the brain).
    Pack a 40lb carry on bag and expect airline staff to help you hoist it overhead.
    (With  fashionable leggings, down jackets and comfy walking shoes, who needs this much stuff anymore. Electronic books and mini-computers should be on your personal ‘I want’ gift list this year).
    Do not check the weather the night before you leave.…

     
  • USA Today: Ten Reasons to Take a River Cruise

    November 12, 2013 / river cruises for women, single supplement waiver, singles vacations, solo travel, tours for women, women's travel, womens travel clubs

    And we are adding the 11th: Guaranteed Shares in Category E on Tulip Time AMA River Cruise: April 2014

    These are in part from USA Today. And in part from our experiences.

    Experience is leisurely  River cruises are not about rushing here and there. You visit key sights but there is also time to relax. And since you dock near cities, you can leave the ship when you wish.

    Ships are intimate The size of river ships is limited by the need for the vessels to go through locks and under low bridges.…

     
  • 10 Ways not to feel Sad on Christmas Day

    November 6, 2013 / Holiday tours for women, Morocco tours, single supplement waiver, singles vacations, solo travel

    ——–Do not go where the crowds go or risk overbooking and overpricing. Try new destinations

    ——–Do not eat what you would at home! This risks feeling homesick and family deprived.
    ——–Do not shop for others; this is your time to pamper yourself, not others.
    ——–Do not spend Dec. 25 in a place where everything is closed.
    ——–Do not stay in your room, walk around town, hang out at a restaurant or the hotel public spaces.

    ——–Research ahead of time for walking tours given on holidays ( they exist even in religious countries).…

  • Best Candy for Travel

    October 31, 2013 / Morocco tours, single supplement waiver, singles vacations, solo travel, The Women's Travel Group, tours for women

    M&M’s of course and we all know why…unless you are from the Moon.
    Peppermints, on a long overnight trip, their freshness pops.
    Reese’s small peanut butter squares: something about peanut butter feel healthful.
    Tootsie Pop, even though you have to search for a tiny amount of chocolate, it feels like childhood. We all need a pick me up at some point during a long trip.

    NO GUMMY BEARS  or anything that can cause a tooth problem!!!!!!!

    Enjoy… and be nice to the kids tonight.…

     
  • Fly Away from Holiday Blues: Solo Holiday Travel

    Fly Away from Holiday Blues: Solo Holiday Travel

    October 28, 2013 / Holiday tours for women, Morocco tours, single supplement waiver, singles vacations, solo travel, The Women's Travel Group, tours for women

    Why stay home this year and hide from ever-present awful tinsel? Be your own Santa, fly away from holiday blues to a movie world: Morocco. Why Morocco?

    ***Small accessible country with one medieval scene following another. Ancient desert towns? Walled medinas? Roman outposts? Snow-capped mountains? Tribal henna’s hands?
    ***Friendly to Westerners: see Sunday’s feature in the NYTimes about a woman visiting Fez solo.
    ***Access to a UNESCO Heritage church Christmas Eve.
    ***Wonderful hotels with pampering in the Turkish bath or the jewelry store.…

     
  • Glaring Mis-representation by NYTimes Travel Ad

    October 25, 2013 / Holiday tours for women, Morocco tours, single supplement waiver, singles vacations, solo travel, travel tips

    Of course, I read every travel brochure which hits my mailbox. Today we received a tour wrapped into our New York Times.

    Headlined: 9-Day Exclusive Tour * * * * *

    The hotel page of the tour brochure sets the five stars in gold highlighted rectangle entitled PURE LUXURY * * * * * as five stars.

    But read further, ladies!

    The hotels are then listed as 3*, 3* and 4*. Admittedly the cost is dirt cheap but as they say in the movies: cheap is cheap.…

     
  • Exactly what flight am I on?

    October 24, 2013 / Holiday tours for women, Morocco tours, single supplement waiver, singles vacations, solo travel, travel tips

    It used to be that your ticket had one flight number which you searched for on the departure board.  The captain announced the same number, in that uber-male ‘Welcome Aboard’ speech. Today you will see multiple flight companies and numbers for your flight, flashing one by one on the departure boards! And today these will all be announced when you board. These are codeshare flights.

    Under code-sharing, an airline sells seats on ‘partner’ flights, but the flights are operated by a separate airline.…
