In today’s Groupon you get a roundtrip, luxury bus ride from Santa Rosa, Petaluma, San Francisco, or Sacramento to Lake Tahoe or Reno with Blue Groundways, for $49 ( a $104 value.) 

Want to know what luxury means in the bus world? Apparently it’s more than just seats that kick back and no gum under the seats. Try warm towel service, freshly prepared, complimentary bistro dining; and roomy, first-class seating. Also free wi-fi, recently released movies, and beverages. The route from Santa Rosa and Petaluma heads to Tahoe and then Reno on Fridays and returns on Sundays. From SF you can leave either Friday or Saturday. It sounds like a fun way to get to Tahoe without grinding your teeth and gripping the steering wheel  through all the East Bay with weekend traffic. [Read more →]

Everyone who has been to outer space talks about how amazing it feels to float in a void surrounded by stars, yet no one ever mentions the outrageous cab fares and crummy food. Today’s Groupon gives you all the best parts of space travel without any of the drawbacks: for $35, you get a 60-minute floating session at Float Matrix (a $75 value).

I’ve heard people rave about these things, and although the “floating” part sounds great, the “sound- and light-proof pod” churns all my hidden claustrophobia to the surface…if you do it, let me know what you think.

And if you don’t know about Groupons, let me explain:
