Discovering the Convenience and Comfort of Travel Plazas

Introduction

What is a travel plaza, history of travel plazas, benefits of travel plazas, amenities offered at travel plazas, types of travel plazas, planning your trip with travel plazas in mind, tips for making the most of your travel plaza experience.

Road trips can be a lot of fun, but they can also be tiring and stressful. After several hours on the road, you may find yourself in need of a break to stretch your legs, use the restroom, and grab a bite to eat. This is where travel plazas come in handy. These rest stops along major highways and interstates offer a variety of amenities to make your journey more comfortable and convenient. In this article, we will explore the world of travel plazas and discover why they are becoming an increasingly popular choice for road trippers.

A travel plaza, also known as a rest area, service area, or truck stop, is a facility located along highways and interstates that provides travelers with a place to rest, refuel, and refresh. Travel plazas can be found in both rural and urban areas, and they typically offer a variety of services and amenities to meet the needs of travelers.

The first travel plazas were established in the United States in the 1930s as part of the New Deal program. These early rest areas were simple facilities that provided travelers with a place to park their cars and use the restroom. Over time, travel plazas evolved to offer a wider range of services, including fueling stations, convenience stores, restaurants, and lodging options.

There are many benefits to stopping at a travel plaza during a road trip. Here are just a few:

• Convenience: Travel plazas are typically located along major highways and interstates, making them easily accessible to travelers.
• Safety: Travel plazas offer a safe place for travelers to rest and refresh, which can help reduce the risk of accidents caused by fatigue.
• Cost-effective: Travel plazas often offer lower fuel prices and food options that are more affordable than those found at traditional restaurants and gas stations.
• Variety: Travel plazas offer a variety of services and amenities, including food, fuel, restrooms, and lodging options, making them a one-stop shop for travelers.

Travel plazas offer a wide range of amenities to meet the needs of travelers. Some of the most common amenities include:

• Fueling stations: Travel plazas typically offer fueling stations where travelers can refuel their vehicles.
• Convenience stores: Many travel plazas have convenience stores that sell snacks, drinks, and other travel essentials.
• Restaurants: Travel plazas often have restaurants that serve a variety of foods, from fast food to sit-down meals.
• Restrooms: Travel plazas provide travelers with clean and well-maintained restrooms.
• Lodging options: Some travel plazas offer lodging options, such as hotels or motels, for travelers who need to spend the night.

There are several types of travel plazas, each catering to different types of travelers. Some of the most common types of travel plazas include:

• Truck stops: These travel plazas are designed to cater to truck drivers and typically offer amenities such as showers, laundry facilities, and repair services.
• Service areas: These travel plazas are located on toll roads and offer a variety of services, including restrooms, food options, and fueling stations.
• Rest areas: These travel plazas are typically located on highways and interstates and provide travelers with a place to rest, use the restroom, and grab a snack.
• Welcome centers: These travel plazas are often located near state borders and provide travelers with information about the state, including attractions, accommodations, and events.

When planning a road trip, it’s a good idea to keep travel plazas in mind. Here are a few tips to help you plan your trip around travel plazas:

• Research travel plazas along your route: Before hitting the road, research travel plazas along your route and make note of which amenities they offer.
• Plan your rest stops: Plan to stop at travel plazas every few hours to stretch your legs, use the restroom, and grab a bite to eat.
• Take advantage of loyalty programs: Many travel plazas offer loyalty programs that provide discounts on fuel and other amenities.

To make the most of your travel plaza experience, here are a few tips to keep in mind:

• Look for healthy food options: While travel plazas offer a variety of food options, many of them are high in fat and calories. Look for healthy options such as fresh fruit, salads, and grilled chicken.
• Use the restroom before leaving: Take advantage of the clean and well-maintained restrooms at travel plazas before hitting the road.
• Stay safe: While travel plazas are generally safe, it’s still a good idea to stay aware of your surroundings and keep valuables out of sight.

Travel plazas are a convenient and comfortable option for road trippers. With a variety of amenities and services, they offer a one-stop-shop for travelers in need of a break from the road. By keeping travel plazas in mind when planning your next road trip, you can make your journey more enjoyable and stress-free. So, the next time you hit the road, be sure to take advantage of the convenience and comfort of travel plazas.

How to get access to a great gym everywhere you travel

Update: Some offers mentioned below are no longer available. View the current offers here .

After sitting for hours in a cramped cabin , it's no surprise that travelers are placing a growing emphasis on staying fit while traveling . Whether it's to fight jet lag and weight gain or maintain a general sense of well-being while away from home, travelers are making it a priority to schedule exercise into their itineraries.

Sure, you can always exercise in your hotel room. But for travelers who really thrive in a gym environment, sweating it out in a hotel room isn't a great option. At the same time, selecting a gym to meet your travel needs can be as complicated as buying an airline ticket.

Just like selecting a seat , there are different tiers of service at varying prices for globetrotters. The good news is, there are plenty of easy options, domestically or abroad, for someone looking to lift weights, run on a treadmill or even take part in a boot camp or yoga class. You can maintain your fitness regimen and find a gym, studio class or personal trainer no matter how far away from your local gym you travel.

Here are a few gyms and classes we love — just remember to call a specific location to confirm pricing ahead of time.

With more than 100 locations in New York City, Boston, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., the gyms offer standard cardio, weight equipment and classes plus pools in some locations. Accessibility depends on membership, with drop-in passes available for purchase.

With locations in most major U.S. cities and business centers as well as Canada and London, luxury travelers may be attracted to Equinox. In addition to sleek exercise studios, guests have access to amenities such as Kiehl's hair and skin products, steam rooms and cool Eucalyptus towels. As with other gyms, accessibility to clubs while out of town depends on the level of your membership. The wellness brand also recently opened a fitness-focused Equinox hotel in New York's Hudson Yards featuring an outdoor pool and a sprawling 60,000-square-foot fitness center. Travelers can also talk to a membership advisor about a one-day complimentary guest pass .

Anytime Fitness

Like 24 Hour Fitness, Anytime Fitness offers facilities that are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. With more than 4,000 locations in 50 countries around the world, a membership here could be a smart choice for frequent travelers. Or, give Anytime Fitness a try during your next trip with a free seven-day pass .

Orange Theory Fitness , Barry's Bootcamp , CorePower Yoga

There's no question the "class craze" remains strong among fitness aficionados , who won't depart from their routines while on a getaway or a high-stakes business trip. For members of Orange Theory Fitness and Barry's Bootcamp, known for high-intensity interval training workouts, there are many choices while on the move.

Orange Theory Fitness users can visit other clubs in the United States, although some locations will charge an additional fee. International destinations may not allow such guests. It operates more than 1,110 studios worldwide, in 49 states and 22 countries.

Barry's Bootcamp has a pay-per-class model, with an average cost of $30 to $36 in the United States. Barry's operates 60 studios in most major cities, including 23 international locations such as the United Kingdom, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates.

After a long day in the airport or on a train, yoga has become the detox method of choice for many passengers. Core Power Yoga operates more than 200 studios across the country. Memberships are transferable, however, guests from outside of New York are subject to a $20 surcharge when visiting a New York studio.

Independent gyms and hotels

Some independent health clubs belong to IHRSA, the International Health Racquet and Sportsclub Association. With almost 10,000 clubs around the world, it does offer a passport program allowing members to access another participating club at a discounted rate. In order to participate, you must sign up for the TrainAway mobile app.

Finally, don't shun your hotel. A number of chains offer fitness-focused amenities. For example, Westin's website has running shoes and workout gear for guests to borrow while staying at its hotels for a $5 fee. In addition, some Westin hotels feature Peloton bikes.

Hilton is now offering exercise equipment in some rooms, as well as BOSU balls, sand balls, resistance bands and yoga mats as part of its Five Feet to Fitness program. Select properties in popular destinations such as Orlando, El Paso and Chicago offer these specialized in-room fitness options.

Hyatt offers on-demand, in-room content streaming barre, HIIT and yoga classes at select Hyatt Regency, Hyatt Place and Hyatt House hotels. Spotify playlists and running maps are available at Hyatt Centric.

Consider ClassPass

With a ClassPass subscription , you can access yoga, strength training, barre, martial arts, Pilates, boxing, and indoor cycling classes, as well as use health clubs, via its flat-rate monthly subscription service. It's a great option to consider if you travel a lot, given it's currently available in over 2,500 cities around the world, including cities in the U.S., U.K., Canada, Asia, Australia and the Middle East.

ClassPass can also be a good way to identify high-quality studios and unexpected activities near you. Doesn't an 80's themed trampoline aerobics class in NYC sound exhilarating?

Hire a Private Instructor

If you have the money to spend, hiring a private instructor or coach is an excellent option. With a dedicated professional helping you achieve your fitness goals, you're guaranteed to receive the most customized and personalized program no matter where in the world you go. But it will cost you! Elite, experienced and highly credentialed trainers can charge anywhere from $125 to $275 for an hour-long session.

Contacting smaller gyms in the area and asking for referrals is one way to find a trainer. Or turn to social media and ask for guidance. Taking a look at a trainer's social media platform or website should give you an idea of what type of specialized technique each offers.

Lastly, don't forget to use the right credit card if you plan to pay for a gym membership, day pass to a fitness club, private instructor, etc. These kinds of purchases don't qualify for the typical credit card bonus categories, so using one of the best cards for everyday spending is likely your best bet.

With the Chase Freedom Unlimited, for example, you'll earn 1.5% cash back (1.5 Chase Ultimate Rewards points) on purchases - including those made at health clubs. If you spend $1,500 per year on fitness club expenses you'll earn 2,250 Ultimate Rewards points, which are worth $45 according to TPG's valuations . That's not a bad return for purchases you'd planned on making anyway.

SF's Japantown Peace Plaza about to receive $25M overhaul as cultural history destination

S an Francisco Mayor London Breed, the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department, and the Japantown community gathered over the weekend to break ground on the Peace Plaza Renovation Project .

The project is meant to transform the plaza into a vibrant community space, while still maintaining its historic legacy.

The groundbreaking ceremony on Saturday included Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Assemblymember Phil Ting, the Japanese Consulate-General of Japan in San Francisco, members of the Japantown community, and a performance by Taiko drummers.

The project is funded by $25 million, allocated from the 2020 San Francisco Health and Recovery Bond, in addition to another $9 million in grants. It will waterproof the plaza, preventing leakage to the Japan Center Garage underneath; the plaza will need to be completely deconstructed and reconstructed for the project.

Of the $9 million secured through grants, $3 million came through a U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Economic Development Initiative, Community Project Funding Grant, secured by Pelosi, and the remaining $6 million came through the California Natural Resources Agency, secured by Ting.

“The Japantown Peace Plaza project is more than a renovation; this is about investing in our community today and for future generations.,” Breed said. “This space is a cherished landmark for our Japanese American community, residents across the City and visitors from around the world. “Like San Francisco, the Japantown Peace Plaza will be reimagined into a space that celebrates a rich cultural history and welcomes people from around the world.”

The ‘heart and soul’ of Japantown

The 32,000-square-foot plaza hosts annual events like Nihonmachi Street Fair and the Northern California Cherry Blossom Festival . It features a Peace Pagoda, which was gifted to San Francisco by its sister city, Osaka, Japan, in 1968.

“The Peace Plaza is the heart and soul of Japantown and through this community-driven vision, we have the opportunity to reimagine the space to make it work well for large communal festivals and celebrations and also comfortable and welcoming for everyday use,” Public Works Director Carla Short said. “This project has been a true partnership involving community members, nonprofits, the private sector and government agencies that will bring long-lasting benefits.”

San Francisco’s Japantown is the oldest Japantown in the U.S., and one of only three surviving Japantowns in the country, according to the city.

“San Francisco’s Japantown holds profound historical significance for people of Japanese descent worldwide,” said San Francisco Recreation and Park General Manager Phil Ginsburg. “Beyond being a renowned destination for shopping and amazing food, it’s also a place for celebration and reflection on the immense contributions this community has made to the U.S.”

The Japantown community’s input on the project was gathered through about 60 meetings and several surveys, according to the news release, guided by the Japantown Task Force Peace Plaza Committee. Community members prioritized making the Post Street entrance more inviting, enlarging the plaza performance stage, making the Geary Boulevard entrance more vibrant, incorporating cultural elements and making the plaza livelier overall.

“The Plaza is the beating heart of Japantown: attracting visitors, supporting businesses and sharing Japanese heritage, history and culture.” Rep. Nancy Pelosi

“As we break ground on the revitalization of our historic Japantown Peace Plaza, we begin to bring this important community space into the future,” Pelosi said. “The Plaza is the beating heart of Japantown: attracting visitors, supporting businesses and sharing Japanese heritage, history and culture.”

In addition to the waterproofing and reconstruction of the plaza, the renovation project intends to add new seating, lighting and plantings to the area, while also structurally upgrading the pagoda. The project intends to carefully follow historic preservation protocols and requirements, according to the news release.

“I am excited we are breaking ground on the community’s only open space which is the focal point of all of our festivals and events,” said Rich Hashimoto, co-chair of the Peace Plaza Committee “The new plaza is a culmination of countless meetings and unlike the past renovations, this project has been a community-driven project from the very beginning.”

12 Things on Sale You’ll Actually Want to Buy: From Beyond Yoga to Vitamix

While perusing Amazon’s deals page this morning, I was delighted to spot a rarely-on-sale Vitamix that makes an appearance in our best-in-class blenders post for prices as good as you might see on Prime Day. And if you’re on the hunt for a new work tote or personal-item bag , Tumi is having a really good sale (which Amazon is price-matching pretty closely).

Our favorite  blender  for making smoothies almost never goes on sale outside of Prime Day, so don’t dillydally. According to  The First Mess  cookbook author and blogger Laura Wright, the Vitamix 5200 creates the optimal thick and creamy smoothie texture, even after years of use.

Here’s a convincing Murano mushroom-lamp dupe for under $20.

Tumi makes one of our favorite work backpacks , not to mention four celebrities’ favorite travel bags , so its semi-annual sale is worth a look. This packable backpack folds down flat, but it still has a sturdy nylon exterior, making it great for commuting or travel. It’s on sale in this swirly sunset pattern, as well as an almost-gray pale blue .

This tote is another commuter-friendly option , pictured here in that pale-blue hue I mentioned above.

REI’s sales bin is stacked (once again) with summery stuff today. Our outdoorsy staffers have often recommended Kammok’s hammocks and tents, and this hammock can support two people at once. It’s also only $25 when you buy it in this sunny yellow shade.

I also spotted some athleisure from yogi-favorite brand Beyond Yoga on sale at REI. This navy-blue crop top is half off and comes in sizes 1XL through 3XL.

As a bike-short diehard, I’m eyeing this comfy-looking pair, which has a seven-inch inseam.

And here’s a pair of fluttery shorts for swimming.

In the men’s section, these workout shorts from REI’s collaboration with Outdoor Afro are half off. (They’re even cheaper when you buy them in blue, orange, or yellow, but those colors are only in stock in sizes XS and 3XL.)

Your summer sneaker should definitely be this suede-and-mesh pair from Veja.

Sarah’s Silks — an all-time Strategist kids’-toys favorite — is offering 50 percent off its delightful dress-up clothing and accessories until midnight tonight. Day-care program founder Myllicent Felder says these streamers “encourage gross-body movement” and are a year-round hit at her school ,  Sidney Ridge Nature Playschool .

We also love these high-quality silk butterfly wings , which last through years of play.

The Strategist is designed to surface the most useful, expert recommendations for things to buy across the vast e-commerce landscape. Some of our latest conquests include the best acne treatments , rolling luggage , pillows for side sleepers , natural anxiety remedies , and bath towels . We update links when possible, but note that deals can expire and all prices are subject to change.
