3/21/2013 2:31:37 AM Guayaquil is a better bet for departure and the drive from Cuenca is spectacular. Round trip from Guayaquil to Arequipa presently costs $321 on LAN. Keep in mind that prices fluctuate and will go up as you get closer to your travel date because the cheaper seats get used first. Figure 2 […]

Is there a 3G Sim Card that is usable in both Japan and China?

3/21/2013 3:58:11 PM As well, when I was in Japan this time last year, buying a 3G SIM Card in Japan was not possible for non-residents. The only option seems to be renting a card at the airports, which was not a cheap option. Are there restrictions in public transport during Semana Santa in Spain? […]

Seeing puffins in their natural habitat

11/20/2013 1:02:15 PM The distribution of this bird is quite wide. Here is a link to the distribution. In Europe with the British Islands and Iceland, there are some other spots in the north of France in the Brittany region. One big spot for birdwatcher is the Seven Islands. Fastest way to get from Heathrow […]

EDIT: You can see the state of the metro and bus service for Barcelona city in the TMB’s official web page. http://www.tmb.cat/en/home About the long distance […]

Fastest way to get from Heathrow Airport to Knightsbridge London?

9/19/2012 7:39:02 PM Two answers say the tube, but as a Londoner who does a similar journey regularly I beg to differ 🙂 The answer is: it depends. In light traffic (before about 6am in the morning), a taxi will take about 25 mins to do this journey (Google agrees). The same is true late […]

3/14/2013 6:15:08 PM Of course you can! Drive a Tank in Kasota, Minnesota is the place you want to go to, since a former competitor in Texas (Texas Tank Adventure) has apparently closed their doors. Drive A Tank is a family owned and operated business in Kasota, Minnesota, USA. Here you can experience real armored […]

Luggage lockers in Reno

3/14/2013 3:43:13 PM It has become quite difficult to find left luggage facilities in transportation centers in the U.S., but you can speak to the bell desk at any major hotel and ask them to hold bags for you. In a large hotel, the bell desk will operate more or less independently of the front […]

3 days in London. What do I absolutely have to see?

3 days in London. What do I absolutely have to see?

1/13/2012 11:10:41 AM Mark’s answer said it all! The only thing I would add is to attend an Evensong service at St. Paul’s, or Westminster, or St. Martin in the Fields. They usually start at 5 (17:00) and the place will be closed then to tourists. Arrive during late afternoon, when tourist hours are still […]

Do official health agencies recommend getting the "Japanese Brain Fever" vaccine for travel to Japan?

4/1/2013 3:20:45 AM Just thought I’d give a U.K. perspective. You almost certainly don’t need the vaccine, particularly if you’re visiting soon – the transmission season is June – September, except in Okinawa / Ryukyu islands where it’s April – December. I was advised by the gap year charity I went to Japan with to […]

3 days in Amsterdam: What to see?

3/3/2013 2:29:16 PM It will depend on the time of year obviously but the easiest thing to do is just to rent a bike and bike around. On saturdays there is a very lovely food market in the northern part of the Jordaan area (called the Noordermarkt). If you want to go to the van […]

Ship items back home while traveling?

3/7/2013 4:33:06 PM Another option are luggage delivery services. You can call them and they come and pick up your luggage and drop it off at your destination/home. They work by the pound. Luggage free (www.luggagefree.com) is one of the cheaper options I found. From Japan to the USA it’s about $7/lbs which comes out […]

Is there a ship of the line that I can sail on from Britain?

Is there a ship of the line that I can sail on from Britain?

12/9/2015 3:34:17 PM Checking for ships used in movies is a fruitful source of replica fighting sailing ships. As an example HMS Surprise is a replica of a sixth-rate post ship HMS Rose – not a ship of the line, ut at least a genuine fighting ship. Are there any international train services in South […]

Are there any international train services in South America?

12/19/2011 8:21:01 AM As Mark said, no international trains, not many train services at all. Only Brazil and Argentina have some longer distance trains in addition to suburban trains around the bigger cities. Chile has suburban trains out of Santiago that may be helpful. In addition to the tourist trains Mark already mentioned, there is […]

On the way you’ll stop in many of Canada’s major cities, and get to travel through some of the most spectacular scenery in the world, including The Rockies. You can also do subsections of that trip if you don’t […]

US 2013 sequestration, how much extra time to take on a Visa Waiver when traveling to a non-international US destination?

4/24/2013 5:19:32 PM I think that you’re exaggerate the potential impact on travel just a little too much. Connecting on the same day should not be impacted the only thing that will be impacted is the time, which could on a busy day during a busy time add possibly double the wait times according the […]
