Like any good carpenter, tools are very important. Since we are constantly on the move I always find myself researching how to get to the next destination. One tool we use to get from A to B is Rome2rio. I can plug in any address, airport code, city and then a destination and boom! How to walk, bus, taxi, drive, train, ferry or fly there. It also displays the estimated time and cost which helps weed out options quickly.



Rome2Rio - Step 2



Additional Benefits from Rome2Rio
I always like to go directly to a website after clicking through a shopping portal first. In this case there wasn’t one I could find. Interestingly, by going directly to the Karat S web site I could only get as far as the final payment page before it kept kicking me back to the home page. I tried clicking through with my VPN off but that didn’t help. But clicking through Rome2rio, it brought me right to the payment page. Who knew?!
Rome2rio is also available as an app on your mobile for Apple and Android.
Of course Google maps is probably my main day to day navigation tool. For complicated routing though, Rome2rio is much more user friendly. I wouldn’t be surprised if Google gobbles them up some day in an acquisition. It’s definitely our go ‘2’ for how to get from A 2 B
