 Books make terrific traveling companions, even for the armchair traveler. So go ahead girls, quench your wanderlust with these three intrepid tales told by traveling women.
Tales of a Female Nomad: Living at Large in the World by Rita Golden Gelman: A must read for any women whose contemplated running away from home! Tales of a Female Nomad is the story of Rita Golden Gelman, an ordinary woman who is living an extraordinary existence. At the age of forty-eight, on the verge of divorce, Rita left an elegant life in L.A. to follow her dream of connecting with people in cultures all over the world. In 1986 she sold her possessions and became a nomad, living in a Zapotec village in Mexico, sleeping with sea lions on the Galapagos Islands, and residing everywhere from thatched huts to regal palaces. She has observed orangutans in the rain forest of Borneo, visited trance healers and dens of black magic, and cooked with women on fires all over the world. Rita’s example encourages us all to dust off our dreams and rediscover the joy, the exuberance, and the hidden spirit that so many of us bury when we become adults. |

 We feel for you, commercial air travelers. Lost bags, mile-long security lines, canceled flights, missed connections, cramped seating, BYO meals – flying the not-so-friendly skies is the price most travelers have to pay to get from here to their vacation. If it were truly about the journey, not the destination, most commercial flyers would stay home.
Nevertheless, if you are like us, the allure of that dream villa vacation in Provence, Caribbean sailing vacation, Peruvian trek, Napa Valley wine tour, Antarctic expedition or European river cruise outweighs the hassles. So, we’ve put together a few tricks & tips to help make your comings and goings a kinder, gentler experience. |

Editor’s Note: Remember when the weekend felt like the end to a week and the beginning of some real time off? Today, amidst all the buzzing, clicking, and ringing, we find that it’s hard to tell a Saturday from a Tuesday. That’s why we want to bring back the weekend -- a time marked by leisure, fun, and relaxation. The Daily Cents weekender has the same backbone as the weekday Daily Cents – suggestions of spot-on things you wouldn’t have found on your own – except its lightening rod focus is how to help you put the “end” back into weekend.  In 2007, 438 million vacation days went unused. If that number spikes in 2008, it’s not going to be because you decided to be a work martyr, especially if MaryBeth Bond has anything to say about it. Bond is the Oprah of women’s travel. Her site, GutsyTraveler.com, is chock-full of amazing travel information for women.
