I still had a spreadsheet…

I’m old school…too young to be so, but I’ve been in the backwoods enough to know not to trust your phone. I know there is an offline option, but the ONLY (and I mean this…the app is amazing) thing I would add is to have it downloadable and printable. Albeit, I’m only proficient and not expert as a user so I may have missed it, but that would make this perfect. The app picked up my reservations and costs by linking to my email and helped me plan out the most efficient way to make my trip. I did use Mapquest, too, because that app is easier to do the mapping a round trip adventure without having to manually change the order of things in the app (ok, so maybe one more thing I’d add…get Mapquest to link to this), so I printed that out, but I did wish I didn’t also have to put activities and costs in a Google sheets. Because we were headed into extremely rural parts of Appalachia, I knew not to trust internet, battery life, or cell signal, but also knew I could possibly need information so I printed items out. If this app had that feature I’d use it solely to plan my trips- even day trips. As it was, this was an essential tool in planning an 8 day, 2000 mile, road trip. It exposed me to museums I didn’t know existed and taught me about new possible locations. I wish there were even more guides! I can write the Appalachia and Shenandoah one now :)

Perfect for an avid traveler

I really like this app a lot! I don’t normally leave reviews too often but this one I felt pretty compelled believer review. I’m a pretty avid traveler, and I would say that I plan at least three trips a year, one of which going out of the country. This app has been so useful in planning my trip to Costa Rica. I like that you’re able to plug-in all of your reservations for ,lodging and transportation, flight info, etc. in this app. I also like that you’re able to share it with others and it really beats making a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet LOL I will say that the only feature that’s a little wonky is the plugging in of hotels using the forwarding email feature. I’ve had to go back and manually input my info. Not a big deal since I was used to doing that myself for so long. I wish there was a spot where you could plug in your reservation information for your excursions. Maybe I am totally missing that in the app, but it would be a nice feature if it is not currently available. I really hope this app continues to grow and improve because I am a big fan! I also really like the recommendations feature for wherever you’re going. You can search for highly rated activities and things that people normally do in that area and it makes trip planning easier. Great job with this app!

It’s that person on your trip with the plan, without all the anxiety

Or guilt. Look, when you go on a trip, you ought to have even sort of a rough plan. Sometimes you don’t. Sometimes you sit in your high dollar Air BnB in your underwear wishing you had something to do besides get takeout and stream Into the Spiderverse again. Don’t act like you haven’t done this. We see everything. The point here is that if you took that trip by yourself to avoid all the griping from the person you go on trips with who actually has their act together, now there is a quieter less guilt and anxiety inducing version. Wanderlog. Yep, you will love it or you are wrong. And you’re allowed to be wrong, skeptical type A person who is afraid of being replaced. Don’t worry, it makes you more tolerable. It will take even your annotated tape flagged agenda book to a level of organizations so fine and detailed that even you will be able to have fun. Subsequently, if incidentally, allowing whomever you go with to also have fun. The fun stuff is there. All the less fun stuff is there. You can casually put it in some kind of order. Or not. It is actually as organized as you wanna be. You need this if you’re not that person and if you are that person you will wonder how you lived without it. And so will anyone else who still wants travel with you.

The Best Times to Visit Thailand for Great Weather, Low Prices, and Fun Festivals

Here's when to plan your trip based on what you want to see and do.

Anne Olivia Bauso is a travel writer and hotel expert based in New York City. She has written hundreds of hotel reviews, from 5-star Ritz-Carlton properties to treehouse eco-resorts in the jungle.

The Best Times to Visit Thailand for Smaller Crowds

The best times to visit thailand for great weather, the best times to visit thailand for lower prices, the best times to visit thailand for festivals, the best times to visit thailand for scuba diving, the best times to visit thailand for island-hopping, the best times to visit thailand for shopping, worst times to visit thailand.

Thailand is one of the most accessible and well-loved destinations in Southeast Asia. It's a great place to visit any time of year, but the best season for island-hopping, festivals, and scuba diving in the Andaman Sea is the dry season, November through March.

Jack Tydeman , a Travel + Leisure A-List travel advisor and Southeast Asia specialist for Audley Travel , says this tropical country has only two distinct seasons. "It is typically warm all year round," he says, but winter is "considered the best time to travel to the majority of the country. April is the hottest month in Thailand before the country moves into the wetter season from May through October."

Here's a breakdown of Thailand's main travel seasons:

• High Season: November to March
• Shoulder Seasons: April to June and the month of October
• Low Season: July to September

Before you book your jungle tree house and island boat tour, learn about the best times to visit Thailand.

Michela Buttignol/Travel + Leisure

Thailand's low season coincides with monsoon season. With the exception of the Thai islands, which draw college students from Australia and Europe during their summer breaks, the wet and muggy climate keeps many tourists away between July and September. Visiting Thailand during this quiet time has its perks: You'll get cheaper accommodations, better access to restaurants and activities typically inundated by vacationers, and potentially more of a local experience. At the same time, there are limitations. Rains could come in brief cloudbursts, or they could come in days-long downpours that affect boat service and island access. Tours are less abundant, and some hotels even close during the off-season, so be sure to plan ahead if you're considering a trip in the summer.

For ideal weather, visit Thailand during the dry season, which runs from November through March in most of the country, sometimes even lasting until April or May. A major exception is the Lower Gulf — home to the islands of Ko Samui, Ko Pha-ngan, and Ko Tao — which is rainiest from September through December.

On the Andaman coast, the coolest, most comfortable weather is around November to February, with average temperatures in the 80s and little chance of rain. This means clear, blue waters and gorgeous vegetation quenched from monsoon season.

As for the low season, it's best to temper your expectations. "It is possible to travel over the summer months. However, you may see some short, sharp showers," Tydeman says. "As the east coast of Thailand has its own unique weather patterns, summer is actually the drier season there."

Thailand is a relatively affordable destination throughout the year, though travelers may find the steepest discounts on flights, accommodations, and tours during the low season, July to September.

"The low season does have its advantages, as it's quieter and the rates are typically lower. This makes Thailand a great-value destination during the summer," says Tydeman. While this time of year is generally wetter, you might even get better natural scenery. "Summer is now commonly referred to as 'green season' due to the rains turning the countryside green and filling the rivers and waterfalls."

Travelers should try to experience at least one of Thailand's many festivals, which celebrate everything from flowers and fruit to monkeys and elephants. Two of the most beloved are November's lantern festivals: Yi Peng, during which participants release thousands of rice-paper lanterns into the sky, and Loy Krathong, when banana-leaf baskets are filled with flowers and burning candles and released onto lakes, rivers, and canals. Chiang Mai is the Yi Peng epicenter, and Loy Krathong is celebrated across the country.

The Lunar New Year in January or February turns Bangkok's Chinatown into a sea of dragons, drummers, worshippers, and visitors, all converging under the glow of firecrackers and red lanterns. Also in February is the three-day Flower Festival in Chiang Mai, which features a parade of elaborately decorated floats.

Lantern Festivals of Thailand

Songkran (aka the Water Splashing Festival) ushers in the Thai New Year in mid-April with parades, parties, and performances across the country. Songkran turns Thailand into "one big water fight," Tydeman says. "It also coincides with the hottest month of the year, so it's a perfect excuse to get wet."

The Vegetarian Festival takes place in late September or early October and commemorates a nine-day abstinence from meat in honor of the Nine Emperor Gods of Taoism.

Divers from all over the world flock to Thailand to explore the country's famous underwater sites and stunning marine parks. Thailand's east coast is largely dive-friendly all year round. If you plan to dive in the Andaman Sea, such as from the extraordinary Similan and Surin Islands, time the trip between November and April, when the seas are calm and visibility is clearest. Also keep in mind that Similan and Surin marine parks close from mid-May to mid-October.

Boating from one jungle-topped limestone island to another is a great way to explore Thailand, but seasonal downpours can put the kibosh on nautical fun. Some southern Andaman resorts even close for the rainy season.

"The islands off the west coast, like Phuket, are best to visit in the winter months, whereas the islands off the east coast, like Ko Samui, are great to visit in the summer," says Tydeman. This means you should time your bouncing around Phuket, the Phi Phi Islands, Ko Lanta, and other Andaman isles between late October (when the rains taper off) and May or June. Conversely, Gulf of Thailand idylls Ko Samui, Ko Tao, and Ko Pha-ngan are at their rainiest and windiest between October and December.

No matter what time of year you visit Thailand, try to be in Bangkok on a weekend so you can experience the vast Chatuchak Weekend Market . Many of the stalls are covered, so you can even go on a rainy day. Tydeman also recommends visiting Bangkok's night markets, which offer "everything from original artwork and designer bags to kitschy souvenirs and secondhand books."

Chiang Mai 's weekend markets deserve a look as well. Every Saturday night, Wua Lai Road (just south of the Old City) closes to traffic and hosts silversmiths, wood carvers, clothing purveyors, sketch artists, and performing musicians. On Sundays, the scene essentially repeats itself along the length of Ratchadamnoen Road, which bustles with artists, food vendors, and massage stations.

There is objectively no bad time to visit Thailand. Each season has its benefits, but most people avoid traveling during the heaviest monsoons, which can disrupt public transportation and make exploring Thailand's stunning natural sites wildly uncomfortable (if not impossible). Forget renting a motorbike or riding ferries during the wet season. Though you're more likely to snag accommodations for cheap, you're liable to spend more time at your hotel than you bargained for, waiting for the downpours to pass. If you're averse to heavy rains and thick humidity on vacation, avoid planning a trip to Thailand in August and September.

I'm a travel planner. These 5 US destinations are my top recommendations right now.

• I'm a travel planner , and there are so many US destinations my clients are loving right now.
• Milkwakee is one of my favorite spots in the Midwest , and Newport is a great East Coast trip.
• Out West, there's the stunning Sedona, and Savannah is an underrated Southern town .

As a travel planner, I book my fair share of national-park stays and Disney vacations , but my clients have also been loving some less advertised US destinations.

If you're looking for a more under-the-radar spot for a family trip or romantic getaway, the States has plenty of low-key cities to choose from.

Here are some of my favorites right now.

Milwaukee is a Midwest gem.

The Wisconsin city is located on Lake Michigan's western shore , less than two hours from Chicago.

For outdoorsy types, you can hit up Bradford Beach or hike and bike at Lakeshore State Park. If you like beer, tour some local breweries — Urban Harvest, Miller Brewing Company, Milwaukee Brewing Co. — and taste their offerings.

Baseball fans can even spend a day tailgating and catch a Brewers game at American Family Field .

Milwaukee has an expansive art museum and a spectacular zoo. The greenhouses at Mitchell Park Domes also showcase beautiful flowers and plants.

Head west to experience the glorious Sedona.

Located about two hours from Phoenix, Sedona is a nature-lover's paradise.

The area's gorgeous red-colored rocks offer countless hiking opportunities , including braving Bell Rock butte. For more active adventures, there are great places to kayak and mountain bike, or you can head to one of the supernatural vortexes (energy hot spots) Sedona is known for.

The natural water slide at Slide Rock State Park is a unique Arizona attraction, and Oak Creek is a gorgeous place to swim . If you're really brave, you can book a Pink Jeep Tour to see more of the nearby jaw-dropping sights while basically hanging off the cliffs.

The Chapel of the Holy Cross is always at the top of my list, followed by an Old West chuckwagon dinner at Blazin' M Ranch. Downtown Sedona also has a plethora of retail and restaurant options, including the famous Cowboy Club.

San Juan is a tropical destination that doesn't require a passport.

San Juan is a great mix of beach fun and historical sightseeing. Plus, since Puerto Rico is a US territory, US citizens don't need a passport to visit.

Visiting Old San Juan feels like taking a trip back in time. I suggest booking a tour that takes you to Capilla del Cristo, Santa María Magdalena de Pazzis Cemetery, and the San Juan Cathedral.

Stay at one of the premier beach spots, like Hilton's El Conquistador Resort. And if you're looking for a thrill, book a snorkeling excursion at Icacos Island, hike through rainforests to search for waterfalls, or find a spot to go ziplining.

My favorite experience, which cannot be missed, is kayaking to Laguna Grande at night to see spectacular bioluminescent water.

Savannah has endless opportunities for fun, food, and relaxation.

The best time to visit Savannah, Georgia , is in the spring or fall when the weather is milder.

Take some time to stroll the shops of River Street or hop on one of the city's famous ghost tours — Savannah is considered one of the most haunted cities in America . One of my favorite ways to see the city is by riverboat cruise, and if you have time, take a day trip to the lovely Tybee Island.

History and architecture buffs should also explore the Olde Pink House, Forsyth Park, and the gorgeous homes on Jones Street.

Mrs. Wilkes' Dining Room, which serves up southern delicacies, is the best place to grab lunch. Then, you can stroll the riverfront to grab a treat or drink.

Newport is an East Coast delight.

Newport, Rhode Island , is a mix of natural beauty, history, and stunning architecture — b e sure to visit some of the town's historic mansions.

I highly recommend renting a car and driving down the gorgeous Ocean Drive coastal road. But the city also offers Trolley Tours if you want to stick to the inland sights.

You can also take in the views from the 3.5-mile Newport Cliff Walk or book a thrilling rail-bike tour.

The town has many great restaurants, including The Mooring and Bar 'Cino. But if you can't choose, just book a food tour. There are also a number of nearby wineries and breweries, including Newport Vineyard and Greenvale, to check out.

These 5 States Have the Highest Gas Prices in the U.S.

T he cost of gasoline continues to fall nationwide, but it may not feel like it, especially if you live in a state with particularly high prices and your credit card charges are higher as a result.

While the average cost of regular unleaded gasoline fell to $3.472 per gallon on Aug. 5, 2024, the memo does not appear to have reached the following states. Here's where drivers can still expect to pay the most per gallon.

What drives the price?

As long as fueling your car impacts your personal finances , it's good to understand that prices are not randomly set. According to the U.S. Energy Administration (EIA), here are the four main factors that determine how much you'll pay at the pump.

1. The cost of crude oil

For gas prices, nothing plays a larger role than the cost of crude oil. Any time U.S. oil production increases, the cost of gasoline dips. When production slows, you can expect an increase in price.

Also contributing to the retail price of gasoline are federal, state, and local government taxes, and those taxes vary dramatically by city and state. If your area of the country is steeped in gasoline taxes, you pay those taxes every time you hit the pump.

3. Refining costs

One factor that varies by season is the cost of refining crude oil. There's also the matter of additives that may be blended into gasoline. If you've ever noticed that gas prices change by the day (and even by the hour), it's due to the ever-changing cost of turning crude oil into gasoline.

4. Distribution and marketing

Gasoline retailers are in the business of making money. For example, gas prices increase as demand increases, meaning you can expect to pay more during the summer months and other times of the year when more people are on the road. Gas stations out in the middle of nowhere with hardly a competitor in sight can get away with charging a higher price per gallon, while those fighting off nearby competitors may have to soften their prices.

Fighting back against high prices

As you've undoubtedly noticed, there's an app for everything these days, from paying off debt to keeping track of your monthly household budget. Fortunately, there are also plenty of apps designed to help you save money on gasoline. Here are some of the most popular options.

Using data from the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS), Gas Guru indicates where in your area gas prices are lowest. You can even filter by price, the fuel grade you're looking for, and how far you're willing to drive.

Fuelio does more than show you where to find the cheapest gas. It also tracks your fill-ups, provides a mileage log, and helps you track vehicle expenses, like tolls, parking fees, and even trips to the mechanic.

Perhaps the most famous gas app is GasBuddy. All you do is type in your ZIP code, and, like magic, the gas prices for area gas stations will pop up. It's about as simple an app as you can use.

AAA TripTik Travel Planner

You don't have to be an AAA member to access the AAA TripTik Travel Planner app. It shows gas stations and prices in your home area and can help you plan a road trip. With more than 85,000 gas stations throughout the U.S. listed, it's easy to find the cheapest gas no matter where you happen to be.

While you may not be able to control the price of gas, leaning on technology can help you minimize out-of-pocket expenses.

Price match only available for newest-generation products in the same comparable geographic region only. Please note that not all services are included and there might be minor pricing variations.  Pricing adjustments in response to price drops by AWS might cause slight delays. [2] Customers may see savings estimated to be between 11 percent and 65 percent. The 65 percent savings is based on one M64dsv2 Azure VM for CentOS or Ubuntu Linux in the East US region running for 36 months at a pay-as-you-go rate of ~$4,868.37/month vs. a reduced rate for a 3-year savings plan of ~$1,703.44/month. Based on Azure pricing as of October 2022. Prices subject to change. Actual savings may vary based on location, instance type, or usage. [3] Savings based on sample of VMs across variety of regions including Dv4 in West Europe. Savings are calculated from full price (license included) for SQL Server Enterprise edition VM against reduced rate (applying Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server and Windows Server), which excludes Software Assurance costs for SQL Server and Windows Server. Actual savings may vary based on region, instance size, compute family, and EA agreement. Prices as of January 2023, subject to change.
