Smart Senior: Keep SmartPhone Info Safe When Traveling |
 |

 |

Before and during wanderings, don’t broadcast your ongoing itinerary on social media. For example, you post daily schedule lists, sightseeing video and photos on Facebook to send to family and friends online.
The most vulnerable mistake is that your house is empty while you travel, and ready for thieves who daily search the internet for robbery opportunities. Wait until you return home to post vacation photos and travel experiences.

Q: Is Last Minute Booking Best Way to Get Travel Bargains? |
|
|
|
|
We just returned from a cruise where we thought we got a good price because it was billed as last minute. However, when we checked with other passengers, we learned we had paid as much as 50% more than those who booked early. What’s the best way to get lowest travel prices? PNJ, New London CT
A: Cruise lines often offer lower prices if you book within a week of departure, so they won’t sail with empty cabins. However, you’ll learn that the advertised low prices didn’t include taxes, service fees and other add-on charges. Before you book a cruise, thoroughly research daily cruise advice and price deal sites on the internet and/or by dealing with your experienced local travel agent.

New York NY: Fly Uber Copter From Manhattan To JFK |
|
|
|
|
If you’re enrolled in the Uber Platinum or Diamond plans, and have the cash or business expense account, you can book it. That way you’ll avoid the slow two-hour ground traffic to and from the John F. Kennedy Airport.
Of course, it’ll cost a bit more than a cab ride, from $200 to $225 each way, and more during the busiest hours. The choppers are owned and operated by HeliFlite, based in Newark, N.J., each with a two-pilot crew. For more info, go to www.uber.com/blog/new-york-city/uber-copter
