We have had a great visit to the emerald isle. Here are a few of the places we visited:
Irish National Stud. Beautiful green Ireland. The Killarney Lakes on a foggy day.
The airlines are starting to publish the new rules under which they must refund passengers for things that are the airlines’ fault. The reimbursement is to be automatic and the funds returned to the passenger within 7 days of a problem. You will want to get on a particular airline’s site to read their statements.
This summer Uber will launch its Uber Shuttle service to airports in the US. We don’t yet know which airports will be included but when the service becomes available, customers will be able to see the shuttle option in the Uber app. Customers will be able to book up to 5 seats from 7 days in advance. They’ll be able to pay for and track their shuttle within 25 minutes of their departure.
A couple of weeks ago I mentioned that Venice was instituting a daily for visitors just coming for the day. Venice has an army of workers trying to help visitors navigate this. When approaching Venice you will see many, many workers trying to help visitors navigate the free process and helping them accomplish this online. There are no gates or turnstiles. People are expected to have taken care of the online before arrival. At this point, the fee is just a pilot program but I think we will see this become the norm for cities that are experiencing overcrowding and affecting the way that the locals must live.
A fifth US tourist has been arrested in the Turks and Caicos for carrying ammunition. Hard to feel much sympathy for someone who doesn’t check the rules for a particular country before travel.
