travelgirl magazine - escapes for women

Holiday 2011 Issue

It’s time for our annual gift guide and Travelgirl staff picked out several of their favs, with prices ranging from a few dollars to a few thousand. We feature Samoa and a big change happening there and 5 things to do in Ventura, CA. We visit Orlando and the latest and hippest things to do there - beyond the theme parks - and why we’re crazy about Amelia Island. For practical information, find out what women need to know from our financial expert and two doctors who share the latest on wrinkle reduction and what shots you need to travel.

The beautiful Deborah Norville graces our cover this issue and you’ll love our interview with her as we share the intriguing story of how she got into TV, her time in prison (to report a story!) and how she’s spreading her passion for knitting. Come along for the journey!
