1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [Next] - The lines to get on San Francisco's cable cars can be very long at the turnarounds (where the tracks end). However, here is a tip: The conductors usually leave some empty spaces when they start the ride, so they can pick up some people along the way. If you follow the tracks a few blocks, you will find a cable car stop where there is no line and you can get your ride without much of a wait. Also, the last people on (that will be you) get the best positions on the cable car. Get more information and tips about San Francisco at San Francisco Online Travel Guide. Roundabout Travel Guides ID2217 - When in Canada you will be dealing with taxes added to the base price of many items ranging from accommodations to postage stamps. Taxes include the Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 7%, which applies throughout Canada. The Provincial Sales Tax (PST) varies from province to province. These additions are not always marked on price tags (or offered in pricing quotes) and might only be added at the cash register. So always ask. That 'bargain' might not be so great after all. Anne High ID1040 - When traveling to Hawaii in the winter time and coming from the midwest or the eastern United States, try not to connect through Denver or Seattle, because of bad weather, snow storms, and de-icing and such. Several of our current guests have had problems with Seattle, and sitting for hours on the plane waiting for de-icing, and then missing their connection in Honolulu for outer island, which causes them to get stuck in Honolulu overnight. Best to connect through Los Angeles or San Francisco (although San Francisco does have fog problems, too). Bed Breakfast and Beach, Hanalei Bay, Hawaii Bed Breakfast and Beach, Hanalei Bay, Hawaii ID1055 - Don't be afraid to travel to the interior of Alaska during the winter months. Yes, it does get extremely cold, but not all the time. Some outdoor activities include: downhill skiing, cross-country skiing, dog mushing, ice fishing, snowmobile riding, soaking in a hot springs (indoor or outdoor) and last but not least, viewing the aurora borealis (northern lights). FANTASTIC! Birch Tree Bed & Breakfast, North Pole, Alaska ID1050 - When visiting New Brunswick, in eastern Canada, ask around for Acadian tourism centers and accommodations; they're often situated in great historical and antique houses that account for relaxing accomodations - and Acadian cooking is excellent!
