If you want something a little larger and with a keyboard and good computing power, there's a new bunch of chromebooks coming out for the holiday season. PC World recently featured one in the $200 price range, weighing on 1.25 kg. Here's that link.

Re: Bye Bye Sky-High Rental Car Fees

Former Member ·
Thanks, that was a good article. I got some ideas from it! I always get confused about whether I need to take insurance from the rental and it's always sky-high. I have some credit cards that say they cover it, but I hadn't realized that a lot of time my own car insurance would cover me with the rental. Boy, have we wasted a bunch! The other idea I liked there was taking pictures of the car before you leave their office so you can show them if they try to say you scratched up the car. Feels...

In the James Bond flick "You Only Live Twice" Sean Connery drives a Toyota 2000 GT convertible. there were only 2 2000GT convertibles built, both for the movie. the primary reason...

Re: Planning a Road Trip

Dan Carter ·
Hey, guys...thanks for a bunch of good ideas! I think the 3-wheel bike is not for me, but the idea of buying an old ragtop and then selling it appeals to me. Not even sure I'll need a car living in Seattle, but don't know yet (job is near the waterfront, but don't know where I can afford to live!) National Parks idea sounds really good to me...I've loved the ones I've been to before. Shunpiking? I didn't make that up! This is from Merriam Webster:

Traveling for Local Food

Former Member ·
Hi...I'm in Atlanta, home of some great food (including barbecue, soul and MaryMac's Tea Room which you've all got to get to someday). Anyway, right after New Years, I'm packing my family (2 of us and 2 kids) and driving to Denver for my parents'...

The best clothes for travelling

angel ·
If you plan to be wearing the same three shirts in all your vacation photos, you want them to be nice shirts. Enter: the eternal quest for the best travel clothes. Rule number 1 is to stay within your personal style range. If your travel outfits don’t feel as good as the clothes you wear at home, you aren’t going to wear them. You want to feel like yourself on the road. If you weren’t already into the geometric prints that seem to reappear in travel clothing regardless of season, you’re not...

Walk your way to a new you on the Camino de Santiago

Rebecca Brown ·
If you would have told me two years ago that I would be telling story upon story about going on a walking holiday – a pilgrimage at that – and claiming it has been the best holiday ever (even better than our week in the Bahamas the year before), I would most certainly not have believed you. Today, I am planning my next Camino as we speak – writing this has taken me back to some of the best moments on the road, and you will most likely see me on the Camino Frances again in 2018. To make a...

Road Trip: The Movies and the Cars

Dan Carter ·
I can't tell you how many "road trip" movies I've seen, some of them full of tense drama and some just hilarious...(one of my favorites, I have to admit, is "The Long Long Trailer," with Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, which everyone says I'm not old...

How to Ensure the Safety of the Airlines?

Anil Verma ·
Traveling via the air is becoming more often for the explorers to explore the horizons of any part of the earth, then the reason or purpose of the visit does not matter. For the ones who think a lot about money before traveling to other shores, the headache is lowered down to some extent by the wide span of the airline network. The widespread of airlines have eventually affected the airfares, if not much, but yes to some extent. The lowering down of the air tickets arise other questions too...

How can Selected Accommodation Improve Vacation ?

Bob Pitter ·
While most people put so much effort in picking out a country to travel to, as well as, in picking out sights to tour, they often overlook selecting a proper accommodation. Little do they know that a properly selected accommodation has a lot of potential to improve a vacation on several levels. 1. It Can Give You a Taste of the Authentic Culture Depending on where you choose to stay, you can end up with an increased dosage of culture, or a rather bland experience. Here’s where a very common...

Re: Flight Attendants favorite foods

DrFumblefinger ·
I've spent a few flights at the front of the plane, and they clearly care to do a decent job with food up there. But if you're paying a thousand dollars extra for that seat (not counting upgrades), you're better of using that money to buy a bunch of great meals on your vacation in my humble opinion. I've had some pretty bad airline food at the back of the plane, PHeymont. On a recent flight from Amsterdam, the food was so bad my wife and I couldn't eat it (we keep some Protein bars at hand...

The best time in life is on the road

gordon ·
  1. Dissatisfaction in the world is a common thing. There are very few people who can obey you and make you do what you want. If you have to worry about it, no one person or one thing will satisfy you. If a person lives for a lifetime, he will ask for peace of mind, so why not live with himself. The heart is one inch wide and the road wide.   Second, life is not about obtaining, but about letting go. Whether it is prosperous or desolate, don't be too attached to the scenery you have seen.
