I have a new travel buddy.
She goes everywhere I go.
She’s never late.
She doesn’t get angry when I ignore her.
And she only costs me 20 bucks a month.
Plus, she answers all my stupid questions.
For example…
“Does Venice have Uber?”
“Venice doesn’t have cars.”
I did not know that.
Did you know that?
Of course, I had seen the canals and gondolas from photos and movies.
But not one taxi?
How was I supposed to get from the train station to my hotel?
“Take a water taxi,” said my AI travel assistant.
Have you ever taken a water taxi?
I’m not a big fan of taxis.
I’ve been ripped off by taxi drivers in many countries.
That’s why I prefer Uber or Bolt or Grab.
But a water taxi is different.
Actually, “water bus” would be more accurate.
It’s a medium-sized boat.
You get a ticket.
You hop on.
You get a tour of the canals and the islands.
And then it drops you off right in front of your hotel.
How cool is that?
Have a great weekend,
Mr. Vig
