Kijubi Tour & Activity API launch at Tnooz THack in Las Vegas

Kijubi coding? We know we have been… A LOT!

Late last week Kijubi launched a new API for distribution partners. The JSON/Serialized PHP API allows partners to search and filter through more than 5,000 activities in over 100 destinations worldwide and currently available on Kijubi.com. Partners receive a commission for every sale made through their links.

The API is being launched in conjunction with a Tnooz THack event happening at the Open Travel Alliance North America Forum in Las Vegas April 25-27. Kijubi’s API is among some of the biggest companies in travel, such as HotWire and TravelPort.

Not only is Kijubi’s API in the event, but Kijubi is also entering as a developer. The mashup/hack we are putting together will allow people to create and collaborate on a road trip directly on Facebook using Google Maps, HotWire, and Kijubi content. FUN! We’ll let you know when the mashup/hack is done, so you can enjoy it with your friends, on us.

If you are a developer, a travel related website, or just want to get into a new business, we would love to know what you can come up with.

Check out the new Kijubi API, documentation, and examples at api.kijubi.com.

Happy coding!

How rad is this?! Ziplining in San Francisco for FREE!!!

Zipline San FranciscoSo I just got an UrbanDaddy email about a zipline that’s being set up for only 11 days starting tomorrow, April 8th, in the heart of San Francisco. And the best part…. it’s FREE! Imagine flying along on a 600-foot long zipline in Embarcadero Square… Crazy! Sounds like a blast and definitely a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Well, that is until someone awesome steps up to the plate and decides to start a company offering San Francisco zipline tours.

Read more about it by clicking here.

There aren’t too many ziplines in California, but for the ones that do exist, you’re looking at spending at least $100 per person. How amazing would it be to see the city from a totally different point of view – on a zipline! Totally worth every minute I spend standing in line with strangers all looking for the same thrill. That’s why I say make a day of it and bring everyone you know, tweet about it, and tell all your facebook friends. Oh, and don’t forget your camera so you can take the perfect profile pic.

Yea, I’m in. Anyone want to drive or fly with me to SF?!?

You Have Another Day In Paradise…Enjoy It!

Sometimes fear stops us from doing some of the most exciting and adrenaline packed things in life. Ever since my friend passed along her copy of “One Month To Live: Thirty Days to a No-Regrets Life,” I treat everyday as the most important!

News or friends inform us about such stories that relate to life, and often make us wonder why things happen the way they do. For example, this morning there was a rare and freak shark attack in Solana Beach, San Diego. A 66 yr. old man in great shape was training for his next triathlon and was freakishly bitten by a shark and didn’t survive. And then I stumble upon a more uplifting story where a 96 yr. old former US Navy pilot took a trip to Knott’s Berry Farm so he could take in some excitement and ride the fastest rides there, regardless of being in a wheelchair.

His daughter mentioned that “He doesn’t get out at all, so sometimes I plan a day where we go out,” she said. “That morning, I told him, ‘If you get out of bed, I’ll buy you breakfast, and maybe we could take a ride up to Knott’s.’ He liked that idea.”

How I look at…we’re dealt with a deck of cards each day – you can play or pass. I’d rather play!
