Nobody likes high gas prices… But we’re always on the lookout for the silver lining, so how about this?
Next time you need to rent a car, it’s going to start getting a lot easier to find a hybrid, electric, or natural gas option. Avis has got the Chevy Volt, Enterprise is offering the Nissan Leaf, and that’s just the beginning. Read all about it!
Whether you’ve got any Irish blood or not, it’s hard to resist this holiday. Spring is in the air and things are turning green everywhere you look (and not just plants, but bagels and rivers and beer)!
For those who want to get in on the action, we found a site that rounds up all of the parades, pubs, dances, and drinking songs near you, wherever you are.
Blarney on!
If you’ve flown more than twice in your life, you’ve probably spent more than a few uncomfortable hours stuck in airport chairs (or on the floor) waiting for a long-delayed flight to get back on track. What you wouldn’t have given for just a few square feet of space to lie down and get away from your fellow disgruntled travelers.
Somehow it’s not surprising that Japan has been doing this for years. (Why do they get all the cool stuff first?) I may go back to my college strategy of bumping flights every Thanksgiving, to get a free ticket for December.
Some people will go to great lengths to save on travel. Sites like Priceline and Expedia already offer deep discounts to travelers who are willing to make reservations without knowing exactly which hotel or airline they’ll end up with. But the latest travel trend takes things a big step forward.
“Mystery travel” involves purchasing a vacation package without knowing where you’re going. You’ll get a little info - a region, style of vacation (eco-, foodie, adventure, etc.), and/or distance and length of stay - but the rest is a gamble, and the payoff is big savings.
Check out LuxuryLink’s Mystery Travel Auction page to get the general idea - and then take the plunge!
In 1957, Disneyland was just 2 years old. There was no Space Mountain, Nemo, or churros. (We may be wrong about that last one.)
In this beautifully produced, just-released footage, you can take a trip back in time to what the park was like in its very early days.
