Contemplating between Georgia and Uzbekistan

Mother (56, active) and self (28, active) planning their first international trip together (without other family members). We wanted something lower in budget, easier to get visas for (have a weak passport) and that is safe for women travellers, and won't require us to drive a rental car (only know how to drive on the left side). We plan to go around Sept/Oct. Thinking between Georgia and Uzbekistan, based on these factors. I know they are different experiences, but both seem quite beautiful. Anyone who has done both who can compare?
