I lived and died (not literally) from this fabulous card. I would save time, could save money and definitely saved hassels. No, it’s not the your Wegmans Shoppers Club Card or your Entertainment Card, but the now defunct Clear Card.

Sadly, last week Verified Identity Pass, Clear Card’s parent company, “was unable to negotiate an agreement with its senior creditor to continue operations.”

This totally threw a monkey wrench in my flying operations. Clear Card ended operations on Monday, June 22 and I was to fly out of SFO to NYC on June 23.

Hopefully another company picks up the slack for this tremendous service. What are your thoughts.

Join us on July 18 for our Seattle urban adventure race.

Ahhh, Billy Joel is wonderful and he could have put that feeling any better. I’m feelin’ great because High Trek Adventure made NY Daily News. In case you didn’t know, it’s America’s 5th largest paper. Read about our NYC urban adventure race.

Daily News article: High Trek Adventure NYC

Next urban adventure race is Seattle on July 18th.

Yo NYC! I know you’re one of the greatest cities in the world and have tons of unbelievable things to do 24/7. Here are my top ten favorite things to do/see in The Big Apple:

10. Staten Island Ferry
9. Overheard In New York (funny Website)
8. Greenwich Village (one of the best neighborhoods; you don’t feel like you’re in a towering city)
7. The subway (best in the US by far)
6. Cash Cab (I’m looking for you Ben Bailey!)
5. The Chrysler Building
4. The Daily Show (expect in the winter, f-ing cold outside…you know what I’m talking about)
3. Di Fara Pizzeria
2. Central Park (specifically, the Great Lawn!)
1. The people! Awesome people watching!

Join us tomorrow for High Trek Adventure NYC!

Join us for our next urban adventure race in NYC!

On a recent trip to NYC I decided that I would take a SuperShuttle into Manhattan saving about $30 (cab would have been $50) or $7 on the subway (you need to pay $5 to take AirTrain from JFK to the subway station).

The deal with Super Shuttle is that you are carted around with other passengers heading to a similar geographic area (kind of a pain, but not too much).

Here’s where is gets exciting: the driver dropped off the first passenger; he grabbed his bags, paid and went into is tiny Flatiron District basement bunker. Everything seemed to go according to pan until the next stop. Passenger number two got out, popped the trunk but his bag vanished like Amelia Earhart. Passenger #1 accedentally grabbed the wrong bag. What a mess. The driver would not go back to Passenger #1’s apartment. Now Passenger #2 had to figure out how to get his belongings back. I think that the driver gave P#2 P#1’s address.

The moral of this story is you gotta watch your own back, especially when it involves strangers.

Next urban adenture race: New York City

I just found out about this 5K run over the weekend. It was in Chicago this past Saturday and it sounded hilarious! It’s called the The Skirt Chaser. Here’s the rundown:

Girls gets a 3 minute head start…then the boys are released!!! Everyone runs a 5K!

I wonder if they play the Benny Hill theme at the finish line?
