    Real ID or Stay Home

    April 30, 2024 / airport tips, travel tips for women, travel warnings

    Travel Tips from The Women’s Travel Group. Years ago, my Mother and I flew to Albany. From Florida to Albany, there was no checkin issue. From Albany to Florida, she was asked for her driver’s license. My mother was the generation who never drove a car. She informed checkin staff that she had a police card identification. The police id card was something older non driving Floridians secured. Checkin refused her. She was crying. We were shocked.

    I related the following to the supervisor: You allowed my elderly mother to fly Miami to Albany.…

    Travel Solo without a Nervous Breakdown Part 2

    April 29, 2024 / Uncategorized

    Here is your ‘clearing head’ itinerary from The Women’s Travel Group. First Read Part 1. Arrival Day after a 2-3 hour nap, eat a healthy lunch include fruit/salad. Drink more water than you think you need. Ask the Front Desk for a hotel card and a map.  Mark the hotel clearly on the map-you are tired—make the mark BIG. Ask staff to color a line for a neighborhood walk. Stroll the neighborhood monitoring landmarks.  It is pretty easy to get lost when exhausted.…

    Rude airline staff? Too bad for you.

    April 12, 2024 / Uncategorized

    I just watched one of those irresistible airport videos. An airline staffer used the F word to a passenger. The staffer had demanded to see her boarding pass, not at check in but randomly. The passenger refused, said she had to make her plane and continued on to check in. Then came the F word. What can you do if an airline staffer treats you discourteously or even gray area illegally?

    Never Pack List for Women

    March 24, 2024 / overseas adventure travel for women, Shopping overseas, travel tips for women, Uncategorized

    Over the years, our group has had items confiscated. Some are not allowed to be imported, some are illegal, and some were ‘taken’ by customs’ officials overseas. One confiscation was hilarious. It was a tampon removed and examined by a South American customs official.

    Here are some items not to pack.

    Anything expensive especially with designer labels.  

    Items with price tags; these are easier to fence. Remove the tag.

    Pirated goods like fake designer bags, sunglasses, watches. …

    1st Solo Trip? 1st Gynecological Exam?

    March 19, 2024 / airplane delays, airport tips, overseas adventure travel for women

    Fear of solo travel by women from The Women's Travel Group
    Some in this photo are first time travelers.

    Practical concerns are flights: what if delayed? (fewer are than you think) What if stuck in an airport? What if my transfer is missing in action? Finally, what if I get sick? Or what if I use a bathroom more than the other women? 

    Emotional concerns: Will the tour manager be helpful with my many questions?…
