  • My Love Affair with Zip Lock Bags for Travel

    April 4, 2013 / The Women's Travel Group, travel tips, Uncategorized, women's travel, women's travel tips

    Zip Lock Bags are my ‘Louis Vuitton’ for Travel
    – for spill-ables
    -receipts
    -keys and plugs
    -electronic gadget cords
    -wet washcloths if you bring you own to non washcloth areas like Europe
    -socks and underwear
    -cosmetics
    -snacks for hotel munching
    -hair baubles
    -medicine
    -and for everything larger I use Eagle Creek bags. And always carry a hefty bag for super wet clothes or ground cover or even a hideous but useful raincoat.…

  • Alitalia Fined $125,000 for Deceiving 2 US Passengers

    April 2, 2013 / airplane delays, overseas adventure travel for women, The Women's Travel Group, travel tips, Uncategorized, women's travel, women's travel tips

    Alitalia was fined for not compensating 2 US bound passengers for cancelled flights. Alitalia paid for cancellations within Europe but denied the two who were flying to the US.

    The rules governing an airline are found on the Department of Transportation  and other US Government websites; but the individual practices can be different and are only found on the Contract of Carriage of the airline itself. This will be hidden in their website somewhere….

    Example: some discount airlines will not put you on a substitute airline if your flight is cancelled; you might get back your one way fare, but you will be hugely out of pocket on buying another one way fare on a non discounter. …

     
  • How to Choose a Room Mate for a Tour

    April 1, 2013 / solo travel, The Women's Travel Group, travel tips, Uncategorized, women's travel, women's travel tips

    Some rules for assuring your friend is also a good roomie for a tour:
    1. Both of you need to be honest about your personal habits.
    2. Agree on a budget for extras like wine.
    3. Agree not to talk all the time, down time saves a friendship
    4. Each compromise on something they do not want to do.
    5. Bring same number and size of suitcases to divide room space well.
    6. If you are not of the same fitness, discuss how you will handle that up front.…

     
  • Your 50th Birthday Gift: the right trip

    Your 50th Birthday Gift: the right trip

    March 27, 2013 / overseas adventure travel for women, solo travel, The Women's Travel Group, travel clubs, travel tips, women's travel, women's travel tips

    Here Phyllis photo smallerare suggestions for the right trip for a 50 birthday:- I had mine on a plane flying towards Hong Kong. Talk to us here.

    Here are suggestions for the right trip for a 50  birthday:

    For your sense of confidence, take a trip that has a little sizzle: a boat on the Ganges? an elephant ride in Northern Thailand? a walk through a Dowery Market in Pushkar? a visit to a poignant museum about apartheid?

    For introspection: travel solo but in a group.…

     
  • Music Application for Traveling

    March 25, 2013 / overseas adventure travel for women, travel tips, Uncategorized, women's travel, women's travel tips

    Staying in a hotel room can be isolating; try Songza. This is a free application for a smart phone. Songza has all kinds of free music and it categorizes it by genre and by what you are doing. So for instance, classical music for reading brought up YoYo Mah playing a lovely cello piece. Music makes a room away from home feel warmer and friendlier.

  • Digestion on Airplanes?

    March 22, 2013 / overseas adventure travel for women, singles vacations, solo travel, Uncategorized, women's travel, women's travel tips

    Though we do not mention it, most of us get indigestion on long flights. On our trips, we serve balanced and delicious food but on the plane, it is every woman for herself.
    Counter indigestion with:
    –eat before the flight not on it.
    –drink lots of water, even ask the attendants to fill up a water bottle so you have it at hand. Too bad for the people who have to move when you need the facilities.
    –bring goodies with you: dried fruit, nuts, even quickie oatmeal or cereal ( they always have milk on board).…

     
  • To Walk or Not To Walk, that is the travel question

    March 21, 2013 / overseas adventure travel for women, travel clubs, travel tips

    How much walking do our trips have? Can anyone participate in Argentina or others?

    Most www.womenstravelgroup.com trips include some walking, but women should ask the following questions when they eye a trip:

    1. How much in length and/or time? A slow walk over a short distance like in a walking tour might be hard on the back also. While we are walking, feel free to ask for a place to sit or a minute if you need to regroup or retie your laces or your brain.…

     
  • How To Complain

    March 20, 2013 / singles vacations, travel tips, Uncategorized, women's travel tips

    We inspect all our hotels but if you go on a trip and are unhappy, here is how we suggest you complain:

    1. Get an authority figure from the hotel, not the desk clerk, and if need be wait there until someone shows.
    2. Get their card and make sure they are in fact a manager.
    3. Ask them to sit down away from the desk, which makes you an equal and makes this a business meeting.
    4. Describe your issue, enhance with photos you took or timing you noted ( like a pillow from housekeeping took from 8:30 PM until 9:11 PM, the detail is convincing.…

     
  • Our group is different from Other Women's Tours

    March 18, 2013 / overseas adventure travel for women, solo travel, travel tips, Uncategorized, women's travel, women's travel tips

    The Women’s Travel Group believes that a smart investment in travel should not include: tourist shopping, too much free time, or itineraries which are short to make them look cheaper.

    Tour Time Wasting Shopping: why would you waste time going to a diamond store or a carpet emporium when you are paying $hundreds to see a new country? Diamonds can be bought on the internet, and carpets in every department store. Now a fun street market might be valuable for the ambiance and photo ops.…
