On my last trip to New York City, I almost missed my plane due to stupidly going to the street to hail a cab instead of walking to a nice hotel and getting one there. When you're not used to big city lines or big city prices, you could have a big city shock while traveling if you don't do your research.

Jan put together a list of money and safety mistakes she's made in her travels. She writes:

I was very careful about our stay in New York City – I knew exactly how much the cab would be from the airport, how close we were to our planned activities and how much it would cost to get around town. Nothing could go wrong with transportation, right?

Wrong.

I was a little disappointed this article only really talked about being overcharged twice for taxi rides and getting lost after taking a wrong turn from the hotel - not really tips for travelers as such, more just a tale of unpreparedness and naivety. Not much wisdom there for our Christmas holidays, I'm afraid, which is kinda what I was expecting.
