Just came back from Shrinathji, and caught my rickshaw ride on camera. A fun conversation to listen to (its in Gujarati).

When to buy air tickets..

Mon, 21 Aug 2006 07:42:00 +0000

We all wonder what will be the optimal time to buy an air ticket. It typically is a couple of weeks beforehand, but if you have already missed that, there is this new website http://www.farecast.com which helps.

The site gives a graph of fares for your destination across a few months, and gives you recommendations on whether they are expected to rise or fall. They recently added a lot of cities (were only seattle previously), and chances are you will find your city there.

A really useful “web 2.0” website which is not about social networking :).

Yeah :-) This website started with Boston and Seattle. It’s out of USC and U of Wash in Seattle. They have some 6 billion records to predict. And they are also trying to come up with Hotel fares prediction. www.farecompare.com is good too, not as sharp as the one you have cited.

Use farecast along with kayak.com and jetblue and southwest, and you have the cheapest fare on the web

Plan your travel?

Sat, 29 Jul 2006 09:04:00 +0000

There are 2 kinds of people when it comes to travelling:

Those who plan the whole trip out in detail
Those who don’t

I recently had a discussion with someone going to Europe through a travelling company (so was a package tour, everything included) on how in-depth they had planned the trip. They had talked with other people who had taken the same trip, and had a detailed plan on what to do each day, what to eat at which place, where to shop, where not to shop, what shows to see, what clothes to take, what care to take at each hotel, etc. They had notes that the Pizza you get at the Leaning Tower was not good, and they will need paper napkins on their first day in Paris because they will be served food out of a box.

Now, it is definitely going to make their trip a more comfortable, but then it sort of killed the whole excitement about going to a new place. There were no surprises left in the trip, everything they were doing was excepted. Also, their trip now got biased from the experiences of people they talked to. They also knew the jokes that the tour guide will make, which won’t be funny any more.

Some planning is always good to do, so you don’t end up in a mess, but planning like this is spoiling the trip. Next time you plan a trip, leave some place for exploration in that :). You might end up doing something totally unexpected, and will totally love it. As it is said, plan but don’t overplan.

Sunshine in Portland!

Thu, 23 Feb 2006 18:06:00 +0000

So I just visited portland and seattle over the long weekend. It was a pretty much chilled out vacation, basically relaxed and hanged out with my whole jingband of friends. We visited Multinoa falls in Portland, 2 Indian restaurants in Seattle( Cedars was one of them) and Trinity Club. The best part about this trip was there was absolutely no rain (Saturday was actually a nice sunny day). It was pretty cold, though :)

This video summarizes the entire trip..

In case you are curious how it was made:

All pictures and clips taken using Canon SD400 Camera
Movie editing done using iMovie HD on G4 Powerbook
Original movie encoded in DIVX Format.
Video hosted on YouTube.com
