Show Notes: Special Episode for Independent Travel on Weather In this episode: The FAQ is where to stay in New York City? Today’s Episode is: Independent travel and the weather Today’s Mistake- Global Entry card has a typo Today’s Travel Advice- Store your luggage at a hotel FAQ: Where should I stay in New York City? I’m going for my first time, and have no idea of where I want to be when I’m there. I want to be close to most things if possible. My second question: Is it expensive to go from Hoboken to Times Square via Taxi? Answer: That really depends on the kind of trip you plan, but here are a few ideas that I have gathered on this subject. Based on your question, I think you may want to stay in mid-town, where you can get on the subway and head in either direction in about 15 or 20 minutes. Most of the main subway stations also switch in midtown, so you can transfer. The answer to Question 2, the Hoboken to Times Square is: You can spend as little as a dollar or as much as $30 or more for the same trip. To walk would take you more than 40 minutes. https://www.rome2rio.com/s/Hoboken/Times-Square Today’s Special Episode is: Independent travel and the weather When you plan your next trip, be sure you plan for weather emergencies.

One way to test it out is to try it early in the morning, before rush-hour workers arrive, but while it’s still light outside.  Most of the time, you only need a card to swipe, and you can add money to the card when you need to. Your first care purchase is often at a self-service kiosk, and usually there is English translations here. Go for it and try.   Episode: Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan This scenic region reminded me of Lake Tahoe, California.  If you are coming you will Arrive in Taoyuan airport and take the train to the Taipei Main Station and take the HSR t...
