An Epic Journey to Cambodia: Part I

No More Delta Domestic Saver Awards Less Than 3 Weeks Out?

After removing award charts from its site last week, Delta looks like is making another customer-unfriendly move by pulling its lowest-level saver award space for domestic trips booked less than three weeks out.

3 Solid Cloud Backup Solutions for Traveling Photographers

Join Vagabondish on Twitter and Facebook.

Cloud backup solutions are seemingly a dime-a-dozen these days. There are so many different flavors, it can seem overwhelming to pick just one. I’m not a hardcore computer nerd and picking The Absolute Best Backup Service is like trying to pick out the prettiest prom dress (I speak from experience). But after trialing a variety […]

Dubai Airport Taxi Scam

For the most part I find Dubai to have a great taxi infrastructure in place. Taxis are readily available, clean, cheap, and I usually find the drivers know where they're going (of course there are exceptions, but there are much worse cities in terms of drivers and their knowledge of the city).

Even though I've been to Dubai well over a dozen times, I faced a bit of a scam the most recent time I arrived and tried to get a taxi. Maybe I've just gotten too used to Emirates Chauffeur, whereby I don't even have to grab my own taxi on arrival.

But upon arrival from Muscat on Oman Air, we tried to grab a taxi to the Grand Hyatt. There was virtually no one in the taxi queue, and there seemed to be two separate "lanes" of taxis. One with the metered taxis I'm used to, and one with black cars (commonly also found at some hotels).
