Downtown Chicago car free bike ride?

10/3/2016 10:53:35 PM I’ll add that many streets in downtown Chicago have a bike lane, and for the most part your car driving neighbors are used to and wary of bikes. There have been some recent incidents in the news, but the sheer volume of bikers in Chicago proves it’s quite safe. Happy cycling. What's […]

What can I expect on Thanksgiving in Canada?

8/13/2014 1:14:25 PM Like American Thanksgiving, Canadian Thanksgiving is largely a family affair. You won’t find outdoor celebrations, fireworks displays, or anything like that to the same extent that you would on July 1st or Victoria Day. However there can be major events coinciding with Thanksgiving. If you happen to be in Kitchener, Ontario, you […]

Where to look up times for shows in London?

8/3/2015 4:01:34 PM Sometimes a tourist in London may be interested in seeing a film which has been released in the UK, but will not be released in their own country until some point in the future.

What is this peculiar line on Google Maps?

9/18/2016 1:43:52 PM That is the International Date Line. It’s roughly on the 180 meridian. It would, as you can imagine, be very challenging for different sides of an island to be on different days, so it originally jiggled around islands. The 180 meridian crosses land in just three places: very far north, very far […]

Getting back to Heathrow for an early flight

12/17/2017 1:05:17 PM Take a taxi. There are plenty of services, and you’ll pay around £50. You might be able to save a few pennies by taking buses, but in my opinion it’s not worth the heartache when buses are late/cancelled, you get sweaty by walking/running between connections, depending on the type of bus you […]

Checking flight routing before booking

7/27/2014 10:17:08 PM Since pilots can and do change routes all the time (based among other things on the weather and instructions from traffic control), it’s impossible to know long in advance. Airlines also evaluate risks themselves and make changes accordingly. What you could do is use some tracking system like FlightAware to see what […]

8/1/2014 10:52:32 PM I would say that the right answer to your question heavily depends on how many and which museums you are going to visit. Some of them may not even allow to buy tickets online, but others may allow to print the tickets at home. Roma Pass comes in two versions: 48h and […]
