Transfersin London
There were six of us going on a cruise that departed from Dover, England. We were looking for transportation from theairport to a pre-cruise hotel and from the hotel to the ship pier inDover. After doing a great deal ofresearch the best deal I found was with Express Ways (phone: 08456 12 12 12,fax: 020 8883 6142, www.expressways.co.uk). There was no upfront charges, we paid thedriver in cash. The charge from HeathrowAirport to our London hotel was $82 for four of us and $57 for two of us andfrom the hotel to the pier in Dover $240 for all six of us which was about halfthe price of other companies. We werevery pleased with their service, they were on time and it was a pleasantexperience.

Drivingin Ireland
While on vacation in Ireland with my wife, we rented a car. I took along my GPS to help navigate theroads. Don’t forget to update your mapsbefore you go. Many of the maps in GPS’sare older and can be out dated which we often found. We ended up using our smart phones to downmaps and navigation apps. However youcan’t always get a signal so if you go this route you need to download mapsahead of time so each night while at our hotel while we could get WiFi we woulddownload maps for the next day. Alsowith GPS we found it like to take us on the most direct route, even if thatmeant taking us down a cow path rather than an actual road. So I recommend always having an old fashionpaper map with you, in the end it still seems to be the most reliable.

TrainTickets in Italy
Before leaving on my trip through Italy I purchased several tickets fromTrenitalia (www.tranitalia.com). It’s easy to setup an account and I purchasedall my long distant train trips in Super Economy. By booking ahead I saved a considerableamount of money. For example, a ticketfrom Trieste, Italy to Padova usually cost $35 but by booking it ahead of timeonline I only paid $9. The Super Economyfare seats are limited but available on most routes throughout the day. Refunds and changes are not permitted so youare restricted to the ticket purchased but the savings are worth it. When purchasing the ticket you have thechoice to receive your confirmation, including your passenger number reference(PNR) code, by mobile device or email. Icould also choose to receive my payment receipt by email or have the conductorissue me one on board the train. Thisallowed me to board my train without having to pickup a printed ticket or worryabout getting a paper ticket stamped before boarding. On board the conductor just checked the PNRcode on my ticket against his electronic printout.
