From: Electronic Frontier Foundation The Ninth Circuit's recent ruling (pdf) in United States v. Arnold allows border patrol agents to search your laptop or other digital device without limitation when you are entering the country. EFF and many civil liberties, travelers' rights, immigration advocacy and professional organizations are concerned that unfettered laptop searches endanger trade secrets, attorney-client communications, and other private information. These groups have signed a letter asking Congress to hold hearings to find out what protocol, if any, Customs and Border Protection (CBP) follows in searching digital devices and copying, storing and using travelers' data. The letter also asks Congress to pass legislation protecting travelers' laptops and smart p

Stay Safe While Traveling Abroadby Ashley KingNothing compares to seeing new sights and experiencing diverse cultures, but sometimes traveling abroad can carry a high price - your safety. Journeys to foreign countries can be serious business if you don't guard your safety. Keep these tips in mind the next time you board a plane for a distant land.1. Check out the weather patterns for every stop on your itinerary. Allow for flight delays if the weather conditions are uncertain anywhere on your route. If there's a possibility of really bad weather, like a hurricane, at your destination then arrange to go another time if you can. Don't take chances; you don't want to become stranded in a disaster area.2. Be aware of any security issues. Investigate the political climate in your planned destin
A spur of the moment invite a few nights ago triggered this latest installment of “Wine with Bill.” While my always gracious host cooked up a salubrious repast of pan-seared loin of pork, rigatoni Bolognese and, yes, even some vegetables, I got to work on opening a few bottles for the evening’s tasting. The focus, once again, was on the Loire but I’d brought along an interesting tie-in, an interloper from Italy. Before we get to that though, a little bubbly as an aperitif….Saumur Brut Rosé, Domaine du Vieux Pressoir NVThis was pure, simple pleasure in a glass. Boisterously pink at the core and paler at the edges. Coarse mousse and a nose like red berry zinger tea. Juicy strawberry and raspberry fruit led off, followed by a nuance of fresh herbs and a fuzzy raspberry finish

One of the real joys of retirement and enjoying your senior years may come in the form of travel. Travel is broadening and many senior citizens save for a lifetime to enjoy a lifestyle of travel once they are retired. The image of becoming a world traveler in their senior years is one of those dreams that kept them going when life was tough in their working years so they certainly deserve to hit the road and enjoy the fruit of a lifetime of work.If this is the kind of retirement fun that you have in mind, it pays to plan ahead so you travel smart. Being prepared for a long trip makes sense for anybody but if these trips you will be taking are to be the dream trips you want them to be, you don't want to see those vacations turn into travel nightmares.A big part of smart traveling

If you are traveling to Asia, you will initially want to learn a few facts about this amazing continent. First, it is so large that it occupies a quarter of the earth's land mass. Second, it spans several time zones, so when you say you are going to "Asia" you need to be a little more specific. It is almost impossible to see all of Asia, so as you make your plans, you need to figure out exactly which areas appeal most to you. There are certain hot spots where people enjoy traveling, so following are a few ideas. Vietnam has become quite the tourist destination. Of course most people want to go to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, which was a focal center during the Vietnam War.

Healthy, beautiful, and lustrous hair is every woman's dream! However, you must take adequate care if you want to maintain healthy and flamboyant hair. Other than monitoring your dietary requirements, the use of harmless hair-care products and accessories greatly influences the beauty and strength of your hair. The hair-care becomes more challenging when you travel to other places that have dissimilar weather and environmental conditions. The change of weather and place may also affect the beauty and strength of your hair. In this situation, it becomes imperative for you to carry all hair-care products and tools that make this job easier for you. However, air travelers need to know what types of hair tools you can carry on an aircraft to avoid unnecessary hassles. After TSA adjusted the ba

Rich or poor, no one can actually afford to get ill while traveling. Planes, trains, automobiles—and the destinations they service—are full of potential health hazards. Just answering the boarding call and observing the fasten seatbelt sign raises the risk of death by deep vein thrombosis or a killer flu.

A funny thing happens when you decide to let go of all your material possessions. You realize that they were never really yours and that those things you do own -- your heart, faith, purpose and love -- are the things that no one person or circumstance can take away from you.An even funnier thing happens when you decide to let go of your attachment to place. You realize that as a spiritual being on a human journey, being rooted anywhere is just a temporary illusion. The most important anchor you have is yourself.I'm getting a divorce and having an affair all at once -- separating from places, people and things that no longer serve me and falling in love with all that truly matters. This is an interior place of peace that only exists within. It doesn't have a name. It's not on any map.
Michael decided to drag his toy microphone along while running errands Saturday morning, and it’s been in the car since. I’m debating whether to just leave it in the car and endure it up close and in person during relatively short car trips, or bring it back in the house and have relatively peaceful car rides but then risk having him play with it evening long at home.It’s this one. Makes me shudder just to look at it.This thing is made by the fine people who brought you that “mp3 player” I used to love so much. Fortunately that little delight has mysteriously disappeared.The microphone has several features, two of which are artfully annoying: 1) Grating music, and 2) a pitch adjustment.The songs themselves sound like they were arranged by Charles Ives and performed on a calliope

photo by RoadsidepicturesThis weekend I am going on a trip to Las Vegas with my husband and some friends. What a fun thing to do right? However I have had some minor anticipatory anxiety worrying about it this week since the last two trips I went on was either an anxiety nightmare, or at least had some smaller setbacks.Following my true natural instincts I procrastinated all preparation for the trip until the afternoon before we leave. This is because then I wouldn't have to think about it and worry more than I need to. Not very smart after all because now I am a little overwhelmed with everything I have to do and that is stressing me out.So I thought I would take my lunch hour and go over some previous posts I have written to help me be more prepared.

Although I know a couple of people in Bangkok, I spent the majority of the time exploring by myself. If I had to do things again, I would make sure that my first trip to Bangkok was with at least one other people. However, the trip wasn't all bad--just a little daunting. I was able to familiarize myself with the public modes of transportation--the Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTS) and the Mass Rapid Transit System (MRT).On my first day, I went to the Grande Palace and Wat Phra Kaew.

How did we arrive to that number?

Located near Brenham (the tour to take is Blue Bell..) just off of Hwy
290, the small town of Burton has some interesting places. We visited
the Cotton Gin Museum, home of the oldest cotton gin still in operation.
One interesting fact learned was that cotton comprises 75 percent of our
U.S. paper money. If in the area, a fun event coming April 18-20 is the Burton
Cotton Gin Festival, which will include a parade, cotton gin tours,
antique tractors, auctions, and entertainment.We
stopped in at Henry's Grocery to grab a snack. We asked how old it was
and got the reply "We don't know, but it's old." It appeared to date to
at least the early 1920s. In our journeys we'll be exploring more
general stores around

A close cousin to credit card costs is travel and entertainment expenses. You could be tight on your costs at home or in the field offices. But once people are on the road, it is loosen the wallet.
It can feel like a vacation to your people. They spend on things they would not normally. Or they may treat it as a cost of doing business. They are sacrificing by being out of town. So why not splurge a little as a reward? You may agree. You may want to treat people well on the road so they make the trips that they should. But it could go overboard.
There may be good intentions to travel inexpensively. But it may not be done well. You could think you are being tight but could be spending more than you need to w
Traveling or planning a short trip will certainly change our mood. If all of us are in some kind of tension than we will certainly gain some kind of peace and calmness if we head for some short trip or just went for a few days travel trip. So to have our mind relaxed we can just go to a nearby place just to move away from tensions and focus our mind.
More and more of us today are packing laptops with us all the time. I’ve got one, most everybody I know has one, and I’m sure that you do too. One of the great things about having a laptop is the fact that they are so portable.

The website has split California into 12 separate sections: Northern California, Wine Country, San Francisco, Greater San Francisco, Gold Country, High Sierras, Deserts Central Coast, Los Angeles, Greater Los Angeles, Disneyland and San Diego. Within each of these sections are the details of many destinations. With the website being split up into so many sections, there's a travel destination just around the corner no matter where you may be situated. This makes the website an incredibly great resource for residents of California as a means of exploring in their own backyards, something that can be easy for folks to overlook.
I was recently hired by Kango, a new travel website, to write a weekly post about things to do in L.A. I'm looking forward to this new venture, as there's nothing I enjoy more than going somewhere and then making sure everyone I know finds it as unbelievably fascinating as I do. That trip I took to the recyling plant? Let me tell you about all the different kinds of plastic I saw, and don't
