So says Owen Wilson at the end of Midnight in Paris, one of our favorite movies!

Speaking of coffee, most of our “City Extras” for March feature excerpts from our travel books that many of you may be familiar with. We are speaking of course about The Perk Report – a readers’ guide to everything coffee (and the coffee culture) specific to a particular city. Have you ever wondered how to order an iced coffee in Barcelona? Curious as to what a marocchino is in Italy, or why Miami’s Cuban coffee is always super sweet? Check out your favorite city on the menu bar above and pour another cup of joe for us.

Happy travels, Dean and Andie

Yes! Clued In Travel Book paperbacks are here and we feel like proud parents. Seven have been published (and the last three will be for sale soon.) Why not treat your sweetheart to one or two as a romantic gift for the holiday? They’re better than chocolate! You can grab one now at amazon.com or through our website.

As for February in general, all of our city extras pages on http://www.cluedintravelbooks.com have been updated with new ideas and great info. Check them out at the menu bar up top. Thank you and happy travels, Dean and Andie

While most websites are being super-positive and touting how perfect everything will be on your winter sojourn, we are telling it like it is. Our Clued In cities are all fun and festive before and after December 25, but what can a visitor expect on Christmas Day? Will they even be able to get something to eat? Well, that all depends on which city you’ll be in. So if you will be away for the holiday and want to know more, just visit our city-extras pages at the menu bar above and get a better idea of what to expect. All ten of our destinations have just been updated. Happy Holidays!

We hope everyone has a safe, stress-free journey to their destination. If you’re staying put and actually hosting a Thanksgiving dinner, just remember that it’s just like cooking a chicken dinner except that the chicken is really big. And while we savor this special meal, let’s all dream about our upcoming travel plans for 2023. It’s going to be a great year!

All the best on this holiday, Dean and Andie

There are so many great things going on in our beloved Clued In cities that we just had to share them! From ice-skating in Manhattan to the upcoming Christmas concert at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, we have something for everyone. Check them out now at Clued In Travel Books and visit the top menu bar for your favorite locations.

Try a free walking tour of Barcelona’s Gothic Quarter, or savor roast pigeon with English cherries at The Jugged Hare in London. With so much to see and do, our series of interactive Clued In (and the super-fun Bored In) series of travel books are definitely the way to go.

Happy travels, Dean and Andie

If you have booked train travel on the days of October 1, 2, 5, 7, or 8 (2022) you may experience disruptions due to a possible drivers/conductors strike. Thameslink is asking that only passengers who absolutely must travel do so, and even then to expect long delays. If in doubt, check the strike info link here.

Best of luck and safe travels, Dean and Andie

The newest train line in decades has now opened in London and expectations are that it will serve around 200 million riders each year. It is sleek, clean, smooth, and affordable. We love that it goes to and from London’s Heathrow Airport terminals for just one-third of the price of the same-day purchasing of the famous Heathrow Express train. Another advantage is that you can board or disembark from it at forty different stations throughout the city, rather than just Paddington Station.

So what are its disadvantages? Well, it will take longer than the Heathrow Express, double the time when both lines are compared side by side from Paddington. But does fifteen minutes compared to thirty really matter when you can save a whopping £20 each way? We don’t think so.

We have always enjoyed taking the Heathrow Express but will now probably only use it when we can take advantage of its super-discounted price of £6 (!) which is what you get when booking more than a month in advance online. Either way, it’s always nice when travelers are given more choices.

Happy travels, Dean and Andie

After a long wait, we are pleased to announce the arrival of our newest guide book, Bored in Miami – Awesome Experiences for the Repeat Visitor. It’s a truly fantastic book that will get your juices flowing as you plan your next trip to South Florida. Available in both eBook and paperback, it’s also a great read for first-time visitors to Miami and Miami Beach. Grab a copy here.

Happy travels, Dean and Andie
