Uber May Beat Taxi Fares At Many Major Airports


According to SmarterTravel, the savings could be surprisingly good. For example, the average taxi fare from Heathrow to downtown London is $85 vs $39 on Uber. From Las Vegas it’s $43 vs $19, and Miami $39 vs $18. Almost makes you think of old times when rates were reasonable.

So, before you jump into a taxi when leaving home and after landing at the airport, plan ahead to contact Uber for an economic ride. And if you speak a bit of German, say billige Fahrt über alles. Despite what you may think, it actually means: Cheap taxi ride above all!

Great Wall of China

Tourist destination: The Great Wall of China

If travel to Europe, the Orient or other parts of the world is in this season’s itinerary for you, some simple rules can help make your trip safe and more enjoyable. Here are a few suggestions from experienced senior travelers:

1. Don’t make yourself a clueless tourist. The obvious one makes big ceremonies of showing money and loudly ordering everyone to do his/her royal bidding. Carry just enough money for that day’s activities, and for convenience and courtesy, make it the money of the country you’re visiting.

Maiden aunt

We certainly don’t advise it for married people who want to act unmarried, but one of the best aspects of a singles only cruise is a chance for singles to meet new people. No matter what your age, there may be romance awaiting you. Ignore your maiden aunt's advice. Just leave your inhibitions and shyness ashore, and join in on the fun at sea.

There’s something magical about a cruise that brings people together. As Sinatra sang: “Strangers in the night ...Two lonely people, we were strangers in the night. Up to the moment when we said our first hello, little did we know love was just a glance away, a warm embracing dance away.”

The sea air, tranquil ocean, visits to exotic ports, midnight get-acquainted dances and a score of other activities and experiences tend to bring out the most sentimental moods in everyone. For your next vacation, consider signing up for a singles only cruise.

For example, check with vacationstogo.com for a very attractive list of singles only cruises scheduled for the upcoming season. Give it a try. What have you got to lose, except your loneliness?
