Every road comic knows the frustration of leaving town with hours to spare only to find themselves stuck in traffic, construction or an airport for a rediculous amount of time.
On the road, time is your enemy and technology is your friend. We discuss some of our favorite travel apps. We also discover a few new ones thanks to our friends in a few different Facebook groups (shout outs included).
We discuss:
- Great apps for storing your confirmation numbers for all of your reservations
- Driving apps to help you save gas, find a place to fill up,
- Alternatives to Taxis and how to beat the traffic
- Why I haven’t tried Uber or Lyft ... yet
- Flying apps to track your flight and reduce stress in making your connections
- Subway apps for going subterranean like a mole with MapQuest
- Hotel apps for saving cash on bookings and dodging the bed bugs
- Why I will never stay at a “Bed and Breakfast” again
- How to make the most out of your trip by going “local”
- How to never miss the “World’s Largest Ball of Twine”
- Staying safe in foreign countries - and online
- And how to shush the noisy room next door with some white noise
We took the notes for you ...
