  • Free E-Guidebooks for E-Idiots

    I think I finally ‘got’ the NY Public Library e-system. The system is hard to decipher; worse, when you think you have the book and download it, it goes into cyberspace whatever that means. In regular language, here is How to Download a Guidebook (or any book) from the New York Public Library to your IPad and iPhone.

    a-Make sure you have an active Amazon account.
    b-Download Kindle Cloud Reader Application onto your Ipad and iPhone directly from Amazon.  Don’t worry about what an application is, just download it and your device will be able to accept e-books.…

     
  • Falls with Water not Bruises

    July 18, 2013 / Argentina travel, India travel, overseas adventure travel for women, Pushkar Camel tours, single supplement waiver, singles vacations, solo travel, women's travel

    I am about to see my fourth major waterfall in August with our tour to Argentina.
    Here is the list so far:

    Victoria Falls and make sure you have time,as there is also game viewing in that area.

    Angel Falls in a remote area of Venezuela,but this magnificent territory is no longer easy to visit. We did a group tour there years ago–a million acres of rain forest.

    Blue Nile Falls is in Ethiopia and our group visited in March of this year.…

  • Woman's Day Prints Disputed Article about Travel Agents

    July 17, 2013 / India travel, Pushkar Camel tours, single supplement waiver, solo travel, The Women's Travel Group, women's travel

    I like women’s magazines and read them (one happy reason to see the dentist). My colleagues at SITA World Tours pointed out an article in Woman’s Day which niggled.

    The article is “9 Things Travel Agents Won’t Tell You” by Anne Roderique-Jones. Every consumer-driven article is good for the public. But this one had so many misinterpretations, it screamed for a response. The author faults agents for being commission-based, for not going everywhere they sell, for hawking un-needed insurance, etc. Here is my response for what it takes.…

     
  • A/C issues in hotels abroad

    July 16, 2013 / India travel, Pushkar Camel tours, single supplement waiver, The Women's Travel Group, women's travel

    Europe is hot! So when you plan your trip,look for a/c but expect something more like a fan

    Here are some tricks of the a/c world.

    Here are some tricks of the a/c trade.

    Ask if the hotel is air conditioned all night. Many hotels turn the air off in the middle of the night for economies.

    Ask if “climate controlled” is actually air conditioning and get it in writing. Many websites use the wording climate controlled.

    Ask if the public rooms have the same low temperature setting as the hotel rooms- they often are set lower.…

     
  • Yogurt on the Road

    July 16, 2013 / India travel, Pushkar Camel tours, single supplement waiver, singles vacations, The Women's Travel Group, women's travel

    If you are a yogurt lover, you will- what my dad called ‘kvell’ at yogurt overseas. Different from our products, yogurt overseas is creamier, less sugary and comes in smaller containers ( better for calorie control). Flavors might be different. (the UK, for instance, has rhubarb and hazelnut yogurts).

    When you travel, bring along a plastic spoon or two. Go to the local supermarket for a hunt ( the word is pretty much the same in every language). You will find Danon and other recognizable brands even in India.…

     
  • Telephone Roaming: A Dangerous Way to Break the Bank Overseas

    July 15, 2013 / India travel, Pushkar Camel tours, single supplement waiver, singles vacations, South Africa Tour, The Women's Travel Group, women's travel

    After hours on the phone with AT&T discussing costs overseas and getting complicated answers…. I moved on to the web to find clearer instructions. The goal was to be able to get emails overseas by turning on and off the roaming function a few times a day to glance at important emails.

    As hard as AT&T operators tried, their answers seemed vague and mega bites are hard to quantify for the nonengineering brain. How many megabytes in our plan cover how many emails?…

     
  • Earplugs not Earrings: Travel Tips for Women

    July 12, 2013 / Argentina travel, overseas adventure travel for women, Pushkar Camel tours, single supplement waiver, singles vacations, solo travel, The Women's Travel Group

    In a British hospital having my first son, Nick, a nurse told me to buy earplugs to block noise, when he was in the nursery. In Britain in those days, mothers recovered from childbirth in a room with 5 others and all 6 babies. One or two nights the babies stayed in the nursery to give us rest before going home.

    Earplugs have been my best friend ever since. If you are a light sleeper or just want extra guarantees while traveling, invest in earplugs.…
