I have previously provided a link to various subway maps. Here is an additional resource that I find very useful. TIP: go to http://www.amadeus.net/home/triptools/index_gb.html and click on the subway maps tab on the left.
On a recent trip to the Phoenix, Arizona area my wife and I took a Segway “tour” in the desert around our resort. In a word – fantastic! The learn curve to maneuver these devices is extremely easy. We thoroughly enjoyed every second of our 90 minute experience on these 2-wheeled “personal transporters”. TIP: Try it if you have the opportunity. It’s a blast!

Finding Restaurant Options in Cities
I ran across this web site researching dining out options in my home area. It looks to be a good resource for restaurant options in most of the larger metropolitan areas of the United States. TIP: Go to www.chowbaby.com
Traveling by subway can be a great cost effective method to get around a city. Many cities offer discounts to travelers for multi day passes. New York City and Paris are just two examples of systems which offer great multi day passes.
