Daylight Saving Time
Daylight Saving Time has always seemed an oddity to us. Nevertheless, the time changes (“Summer Time” in Europe) in spring and fall have seldom exactly coincided between continents and countries. Beginning March 11, 2007, the U.S. will be on a different schedule again. U.S. Daylight Saving Time will now begin on the second Sunday in March, and end on the first Sunday in November. Arizona (except for the Navajo Indian reservation) and Hawaii do not observe Daylight Saving Time. Canada has decided to change their Daylight Saving Times to coordinate with the new U.S. standards. European Summer Time generally begins on the last Sunday in March and ends on the last Sunday in October. Many other places around the world observe some form of Daylight Saving Time. Keep these changes and differences in mind when doing your travel planning.

Half-Price Theatre Tickets
Many Europeans, and America travelers to London, are familiar with the Leicester Square half-price ticket booth. TKTS in New York has a similar program, offering great discounts on same-day Broadway theatre tickets. TKTS has two booths in New York, and a newly re-designed website (www.tdf.org) that can make your theatre planning easier. The website also links to similar ticket programs in some two dozen cities in the U.S. and around the world.

World Time Zones
Tired of calculating and guessing whether the UK is 7 or 8 hours ahead or behind Central U.S. time, etc.? Worry no more. The website timezonecheck.com has become one of our new favorites. You can instantly see the time anywhere in the world, and compare it to your local time.
Hotel Frequent Guest Programs
Many hotel chains also offer “frequent guest” or “frequent stay” programs, and even for international visitors, it may be worthwhile to sign up for some of these programs. If you’re traveling around the U.S. and expect or want to stay in the same chain’s properties in several places, you can build points for free rooms and other discounts quite quickly.
