This was one of AAATravelViews' first posts back in December 2008 but here it is again for any of you planning a road trip…. Growing up, my parents never put on the radio in the car when we went on family road trips. I'm guessing that me punching my little sister in the arm was enough of a driving distraction. (Sorry, Lyds!) Now, as a commuting adult, I couldn't imagine a single drive (even down the block!) How would we pass the time?

Here are some of the games we played in our radio-less car. The Last Letter Game. We made it to Raleigh, even without a radio, albeit a bit road-weary. Fietsen 123. Présentation - Wild Runner. iMod: Cape Town blog by Chris M. Money Tips for Globe-Trotters. CREDIT cards and A.T.M.’s may have eased the challenge of spending and exchanging money on a trip abroad, but that doesn’t mean we don’t occasionally find ourselves in a foreign country, fuming in front of machines that have just rejected our plastic cards. Fortunately, American banks have recently begun issuing credit cards that are more widely accepted around the world. Here are some tips on managing your cards and cash based on my recent trip to Japan and Hong Kong. GET A CREDIT CARD WITH A CHIP Many globe-trotting travelers have discovered that American credit cards, with their outdated magnetic stripes, are not always accepted now that most of the world has shifted to cards that use a smart chip instead.

While merchants in Asia, Europe and elsewhere are supposed to be able to swipe our vintage plastic, many automated kiosks can’t do that, which can be a problem at train stations and subways. The future has finally arrived — or at least the first wave of progress. When I called U.S. Guides de voyage. Café Muscato. Matador Network | travel culture worldwide.

"In India, they'll run after you and scream for money," says Sandy Ferguson, who runs Asia Desk, a Georgia travel agency, "but in Southeast Asia they don't," even though it's considered polite to tip.

The only rule that applies universally? "Always give the bellman at least a buck a bag," he says AUSTRALIA/ NEW ZEALAND At Restaurants: Ten to 15 percent for the waiter. At Hotels: One doller per bag (in either Australian or New Zealand dollars, depending on where you are); $10–$20 to the concierge for a favor; $1–$5 per day to the housekeeper, depending on how messy you are. Guides and Drivers: Ten percent for cabdrivers; $50 per person per day for a private guide; $5–$10 for a bus-tour guide; $20 per day for a private driver.

Who Else? CAMBODIA At Restaurants: About $1 per diner for the waiter. CHINA The law of the land, and the rule at many hotels, is no tipping whatsoever.

The catalog for a Swann Galleries travel poster auction provides a telling record of the glamour of eras past. While many of the images still resonate, many others have taken on a wistful obsolescence. Some record once-exciting forms of transportation, once-exotic locales, once-luxurious resorts. Others have lost their glamour for more idiosyncratic reasons. Consider a few posters from today's auction. Although it advertises a Davos hotel, this poster from around 1930 is just as much a tribute to the glamour of automotive travel.

The interior of the car is more interesting than the hotel facade (which to 21st-century eyes looks completely generic), which features that weirdly prominent “GARAGE” sign. Like the Kurgarten Hotel in Davos, the resort featured in this poster from the same period no longer exists. The Nazis also ruined the reputation of the destination depicted in this poster from around 1930. Notes the catalog: --advertisement-- Route Chooser and Round The World Trip Planner | Travel Nation.

Skeptical Face Travel for free? This dudes crazy right? Today is part two of what I am calling the "Knowledgeable Nomads" series, in which I will be teaching my readers how they can travel the world while ballooning their savings accounts rather than draining them dry. In the first part of this series I discussed general topics such as how to figure out what you want, devising your own getaway plan, quitting your job, creating a mobile income and taking the leap. All of these topics will be expanded on in upcoming posts, however today I will be covering a more specific topic, instructing my fellow nomadic souls on how they to can travel the world for FREE. Possibly the most common excuse I hear when urging others to travel and see the world, is the financial barrier that is separating them from partaking in such a journey.

Kate Hanni, executive director of the nonprofit Flyers Rights organization, told me customer service is pretty much dead at Spirit; in her view, Spirit passengers are just "meat in a seat.
