I needed a ride to the airport for a business trip and found this company on Google (towncar services are the same price as a taxi, and much more comfy). I was leery about booking online (the form is old school), but it turns out that I didn't have any reason to worry.
On the day of my flight, they showed up a few minutes early in a very clean and new towncar of some American variety (Lincoln, I reckon?). The driver was courteous but didn't want to chat, which was a-ok with me. I fell asleep in the backseat and woke up when we got to the airport.
The fare was $45 from Ballard, and I tipped 15%. They take all credit cards. I would definitely use them again for airport transportation.

In these internet happy times who needs a travel agent? Well if you are going somewhere that you know nothing about and have no idea how/what/when to see it, this is the solution. We had an excellent trip to Australia planned out by Elizabeth herself. She had great suggestions, recommendations, and advice for the whole trip. She's also a total cutie--fashionable and savvy!

I use flexcar and I love it.
Whenever I want a car, I just call or go online and book a car near me to use for the number of hours I would like to use it.
It is a whole lot cheaper than owning another car, as you do not pay for gas, insurance, or maintenance. The cars are all new and clean.
You just pick one up at the place where you reserved it and then leave it at the same place.
When I am out and realize that I will not get it back by the appointed time, I just call and extend the time. As long as no one else has reserved that time, you can extend it. So far, I have been able to extend the time every time.

I used Happy Haulers this spring to remove all sorts of junk before I sold my house and they were friendly, and very helpful. Their pricing is really reasonable and their "unofficial phone quote" was a close estimate. They had to come back with a truck with a hydraulic lift gate to remove a section of sewer that had been here before me and the price will still under $90.00. I highly recommend them for their pricing, service, recycling and debris removal!

Global Partnerships is a Seattle-based nonprofit that supports groups in Central America who are working to eliminate poverty in their countries. As part of educating people about the issues, Global Partnerships offers tours to the countries they serve--Honduras, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala. This fall, the tour is to Guatemala.
I traveled to Honduras in April 2005. We visited several villages and met the people, mostly women, who are receiving small grants to start or improve their local businesses. We also met their families, members of the community, government officials and those running the local lending organization. I learned so much about Honduras and how the issues of poverty are being addressed. I also had an opportunity to see some of the tourist sights. When I returned home, I felt I had really seen a country from all sides and met some wonderful people along the way. The Global Partnerships team were terrific. Well organized, they offered many options for us in the planning process and in Honduras. We all had a great time, felt very well cared for and came away with a new understanding of Central America and its people.

I stayed at this bed and breakfast in October 2004 for my honeymoon. From our suite, we could look out the large windows and gaze at Elliot Bay. We also had a good view of a corner of Pike Place Market, where we could see merchants early in the morning setting up their stands for the day. Looking straight down out of our windows, we saw The Pink Door, a hard to find restaurant in Seattle that is not to be missed. The suite was spacious, with high ceilings and included a small kitchen and private bath.
The owner was friendly and hospitable and made us feel right at home. The breakfasts were held in a large sitting room, and were composed of fresh muffins and rolls, and fresh fruit, coffee, tea, and juice.
When we return to Seattle, we will definitely stay here again!

I booked my honeymoon flight through STA last week and it was a great experience. I had been frustrated working online to find deals, and actually got a much better deal through their agency. On top of that, the agent that worked with me offered us a number of unique options that we had not considered, and we ultimately chose one of these. Highly recommend to anyone!!

If you've ever dreamed of a fun tour of Italy that focuses on what's important -- the food and wine! -- then this is the trip for you.
The tour leader, Bev Gruber, is hilariously fun, and very experienced. She's led these trips for years, and this is after running the cooking school at Larry's Market. She knows food.
What's more, her groups are small, so you don't tromp through some of the most beautiful places on earth with a herd of tourists.
She has a Web site with photos and itineraries, and is currently offering an Internet special on some tours: http://www.gourmetravel.com

I always use Shuttle Park 2 when I go out of town. Why? Once you know how to get there, they take care of you. Go thru the gate and follow the signs to park your car. Get out of car and wait for the shuttle to pick you up. Once you're in the shuttle, grab a complimentary bottle of water. Sit back, relax, and you'll be at the main terminal in 7-8 minutes. Reverse the process on the way back - you get the picture. They have web coupons on their website and you can get a discount for parking a week at a time.
