If you are worried about using a debit/credit card overseas then consider the Cash Passport. A way better option than traveller's cheques (they're almost obsolete in certain parts of the world now). http://www.cashpassportcard.com/ You simply deposit US dollars onto the card and then...

Centre Georges Pompidou and the Stravinsky Fountain are worth visiting if only for the unusual architecture. If you enjoy seeing a city by night (I love Rome & Paris after dark) then the Paris Illuminations tour is a great way to see the monuments all lit up. You will see Place de la Concorde...

She doesn't do anything for me, either. Sorry - just can't see what the fuss is about.

I agree - my daughter had a ball playing with her menagerie of stuffed animals. I did wonder what was happening in her world, though, when at age four I discovered Bugs Bunny blindfolded, arms tied behind his back and legs bound at the ankles. A search of her room yielded other 'hostages' too...

How's this for someone with a journalism degree: https://disney.recruitmax.com//main/...dsToHighlight= I'm sure there are a ton of opportunities out there for you...

My sister did not complete high school let alone attend university, yet earns $140 per hour as an IT recruiter in a city of approximately one million people. In her case she networked with people inside and outside the organisations she worked for (on low salary) until she 'spotted' someone...

I first saw these at the markets in Singapore three years ago. They sold adult sizes. Now I wish I had bought a pair. Just think of the fun I could be having in WalMart... ;)

Mark, you have WAY too much time on your hands... Why are you angry at the small things? If a grocery cart scratched my car in a parking lot I'm hardly likely to get 'angry'. It's just a scratch, right? For that matter, it's just a car... Why don't you direct all your pent up anger toward...

They did, Mark. It's called 'Internet Shopping'. ;)

You have a restraining order. Your ex is in breach of the terms & conditions of the restraining order. Call the police. Let the law courts deal with this person. End of story.

Like I said, perhaps it's time to take a long, hard look at your lifestyle. ;)

You can't wait FIVE minutes? If I were you I would be taking a long, hard look at my lifestyle. You have demonstrated a lack of patience throughout this thread. Do you really have a short fuse or do you simply love using the 'anger' emoticon? ;)

It's not only families holding aircraft to ransom. My last two longhaul international flights ex LAX (Dec & Jan) were delayed 90 minutes and 150 minutes respectively while the airlines concerned endeavoured to locate missing passengers who had checked in and not reported at the departure gate...

Ummm, Mark, did you miss this bit in the news reports? "The family has refused the company's offer of free tickets".

Refunding the cost of the tickets is hardly a reward for bad behaviour. An airline ticket is a legal document - it is a contract between airline and passenger. The airline has a contractual obligation to supply the service paid for by the passenger; the passenger has a contractual obligation...

NO BEARD. You look way better clean shaven :D

But, Danny, you didn't buy Teresa Teng from Walmart - according to your receipt you purchased Teresa TANG... That's Walmart off the hook on a technicality. Beef jerky and gummy bears... was that breakfast?

I have yet to see the movie, but read the story. Having read the comments & criticisms on this thread I would suggest reading the story will fill in the gaps in understanding. Brokeback Mountain is a short story written by Annie Proulx (Shipping News et al). BBM appears in Close Range -...

It's hard to comment on the ending without knowing what ending you saw! I copied this from an IMDb user comment: Whatever, I loved the movie; the script was outstanding, the dialogue intelligent, the camera work excellent. A tad too long, but worth going the distance for that wonderful...

Have you tried Yahoo Games? They have both solitaire and leagues - you can join in a game or watch & chat too!

Jason, not that I know of. The RTWs can be complex; the internet booking engines simply cannot cope with the multi destinations required in your itinerary. How about emailing your requirements to a travel agent or consolidator? You will, at some stage, need to sit down with your agent but...

I read a report a couple of days ago in the Sydney Morning Herald about a local well-respected businessman arrested on 17 counts of cruelty to animals and one charge of bestiality. Evidently they found half-skinned & mutilated rabbit carcasses plus one guinea pig in an alleyway adjoining his...

No, Mike, I didn't receive your PM. You want to try that again? Re purchasing tickets from another country, the only advantage I can see is the purchasing power of the US dollar. You would be buying a local currency airfare, converted to US dollars - eg RTWs ex NZ are priced around $3200 plus...

Bruce, she's either got an intestine full of worms or she puts her finger down her throat and barfs the lot up. I see contestants must keep the food down for a certain amount of time else they are disqualified. A close examination of her teeth will tell us if she's a barfer - stomach acid is...

I rode bikes for years too - everything from a Honda 100 to Ducati, Laverda, Moto Guzzi. I did drop the Duke in a corner, damn thing was so heavy, but fortunately came out unscathed bar some bruises and wounded pride. I would agree with Jack, the 650 is too big for a newbie. We can't tell you...

I've done more RTWs than you can shake a stick at. I started travelling when I was 18, did a big round world that took a few years. Since then I have travelled much with my work. RTW's are great if you want more than a couple of stopovers; sector fares are NOT worth considering, as you have...

That may be so, Kevin, but in this example I was referring to the British Airways gateways from the UK. RTW fares are limited to the routes operated by participating carriers. I don't profess to know every port BA or AA fly to directly in the USA, but in my own experience with One World I...

Indeed. LA would still have to feature on your ticket, though, as there are no direct flights to NZ or Australia except from LA or San Fran. Same goes for New York or Chicago ex UK/Europe - they are 'gateway' cities.
