Women Writers Worldwide Share Travel Secrets 2006
|
| Evelyn Hannon Publishing
this yearly travel tip article is one of my most enjoyable assignments.
It provides me with the lovely opportunity to reconnect with female
journalists internationally -- the women I've chatted with by phone,
by email, and face to face. These are the friends who, over the
years, have kindly chosen to interview me and who've helped to spread
the word about journeywoman.com to their readers worldwide. Most
importantly they are my community -- the women I go to to learn
about the latest travel trends and to exchange bits of advice that
help to make us all better travel writers. The following is an excerpt
from a request letter that I sent to these journalists at the beginning
of the year. All the tips you'll read in this article are as a direct
result of that note. I'm extremely grateful to all these writers
for their women-centered wisdom and their generosity of spirit.
Enjoy everybody!

| Historic Sleep
on Hawaii’s Big Island... With a longstanding
addiction to sleeping with history, I unerringly head for Shipman
House in Hilo whenever I visit Hawaii’s Big
Island. Rescued in the early 1990s from sad decline of both house
and estate garden by the great granddaughter of the original Shipmans,
this turreted mansion combines traditional 1899 Victorian elegance
with a distinctly Hawaiian signature. Reflecting the host, Barbara
Ann’s passion for historical accuracy and her own playful
nature, the five guest rooms and public areas are each unique with
family stories lovingly researched and antiques galore, including
a full-size grand piano played by the deposed last Queen of Hawaii
during her regular Shipman visits. Breakfasts are always gourmet,
often featuring family recipes, and one evening a week there are
genuine Hawaiian hula lessons with live music on the wrap-around
porch.(http://www.hilo-hawaii.com). |
| Take your baby
travelling... Being a new mother doesn't mean you have to stop travelling. In fact you'll have an easier time, in some ways, travelling while the child is less than two years old than with an older one. Why? They fly to most places for free (or for a steep discount); and you don't have to worry yet about planning a vacation that will interest them. So pack those diapers and hit the road. Pauline Frommer
is an America travel journalist. She appears weekly on CNN's
Headline News discussing travel trends. Watch out
for her new series -- The Pauline
Frommer guidebooks which will be in bookstores July
2006. Website: http://www.Frommers.com |
