Talking to Strangers

- When a man comes up and asks you - 'Is this your first time in _______?', it is the first step in sizing you up. Say, 'NO. We visit often.' - and go on.

Tampon Box Safe?

- Try storing valuables in a tampon or maxi-pad box when staying in hotels. No one really wants to go digging in those boxes. I just leave about half tampons, and half jewelry, etc.

Tampon Tube Money Concealer

- Roll up your money and put it in a tampon tube. Not many are willing to invade such intimate privacy to find it. (Don't forget to keep it in your carryon.)

Ten Tips to Choose a Trip in Ten Minutes

- Designed for the impulsive buyer of travel. Not recommended - but if you are going to blitz the brochure, do it with some structure from us at The Women's Travel Club. We are noticing more travelers are too busy to really do their homework so we created this 'quick and dirty' list to help out.

The Women's Travel Club has been running group trips for women in North America for 15 years.

Make sure the people in the brochure look like you!
Small print averse? At least read cancellation penalties and find the point at which the company can cancel on you.
Hotel quality: Google the hotel used in the capital city on the itinerary for a general flavor.
Red flag the word: from. It means you are looking at the lowest price.
To gauge trip pace: If breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included, you are on a slow moving trip!
Financial security: only pay by credit card for both deposit and balance. Check for travel insurance availability. Pay the insurance company, not the tour operator, for it.
Forget # of days. Most companies include travel days. Only look at # of nights!
Check trade association memberships like ASTA.
Prompt responses from the company mean they are customer-friendly. Prompt email responses means they cater to internet-savvy travelers.
Check that the company has a street address.

Think in Color

- Packing with a color scheme in mind eliminates having to take several pairs of shoes or other accessories. One week I had two business trips back to back, with no time to do laundry in between. For the first trip, I used black and white as my scheme and for the second trip, it was navy and taupe. I was surprised at how easy it was to pack. I only needed one pair of shoes for business and one for relaxing/playing. Also, a nice white T-shirt can be worn with a suit, with jeans, with a skirt, with pearls, or a number of other ways. I rarely pack without one; it fits in any color scheme.
