Calling a cab just got a little bit easier with 1-800-Cab Ride, a service allowing you to get a quote on a cab ride, schedule the ride, and pay for it, all online.
A visit to check out the website, and to check out what it would cost me to get a cab to pick […]

The three-day Memorial Weekend holiday kicks off the official summer travel season.
Fuel is high, for both autos and airplanes, so the bargains are a little more scarce this year. Still, the roads are expected to be jams, as are the airports. I always take vacation this time of year, so I’ll get to […]
I’ve toured a city by car, bus, train, moped, bicycle, motorcycle, scooter, and on foot. Each mode of touring offers different options and varying perspectives on a city.
Travelers in San Francisco and San Diego now have an additional choice on how to see the city — a GoCar. The GoCar is a talking 3-wheeled vehicle […]
While it wasn’t our finest hour in American history, there’s no denying the existence of our slave era.

For those of you who travel to and from the airport on a frequent basis, I’m sure […]
Traveling through San Francisco International Airport yesterday, I noticed that the Air Train has finally been completed.
I’m not entirely sure when this happened. I was here a couple of weeks ago, and the “coming soon” sign was still up, so it was a pleasant surprise to find it operating this week.
I arrived at SFO in […]
If you visit your local bookstore (retail location or online), you’ll see a healthy selection of travel guidebooks. If you’re like most people, you’ll browse through all of them, read some reviews about each of the different publishers, and probably buy a couple different ones. You’ll probably pick one of the “big” names in travel, and then […]
