Travel - 4 January 2007

I do not know much about planes, but i do travel a lot. It irritates me that my seat has to be upright during take off and landing, because there is something about the take off that helps me sleep. Can anyone tell me what's so important about the back of the chair that it has to be upright?

I'm travelling to Brazil in February but want to stay somewhere other than Rio for the Carnival. It's fully booked already and we will probably be further up the coast by then anyhow. Any suggestions?

I am getting a new car and the choice is most likely going to be between the Commodore and Falcon, I have driven the basic 2000 vt sedan with fe2 suspension and found it to be a nice ride at good speed and a car that picks up well. I have also driven the basic 2002 falcon and this picked up very fast, I was going over 100 k's before I knew it......I am considering these cars as we are looking to start a family in the next few years and we both like bigger cars.....Laura drives a 2000 SS Commodore but I currently drive a 1992 Ford Laser so this is a big upgrade for me later this year and yes I will look at the performance models of each marque I am just looking for advice, Commodore V's Falcon, which one and why??? either base models or sport models infact I would almost prefer a sport model if I get the falcon...

please advise
Mitch

note: must be a sedan in whatever I buy

NEW YORK - A man's daring rescue of a teen who fell on the subway tracks earned him the unique title "the hero of Harlem" on Thursday, plus $10,000 from Donald Trump and a trip to Disney World.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg bestowed the title upon Wesley Autrey as he presented him with the city's highest award for civic achievement, calling the 50-year-old construction worker "a great man — a man who makes us all proud to be New Yorkers."

On Tuesday, Autrey saw Cameron Hollopeter, a 19-year-old film student, suffering a seizure while waiting for a train. After stumbling down the platform, Hollopeter, of Littleton, Mass., fell onto the tracks with a train on its way into the station.
He jumped down to the tracks, a few feet below platform level, and rolled with the young man into a drainage trough between the rails as the southbound No. 1 train came into the 137th Street/City College station.

Some train cars passed over Autrey and Hollopeter with only a couple of inches to spare, but neither man suffered any harm from the incident. Hollopeter, hospitalized for his medical condition, was in stable condition Thursday.

Metropolitan Transportation Authority Executive Director Elliot Sander called Autrey's action "a death-defying act of bravery. We truly have not seen anything like this. ... He was at the right place at the right time and did the right thing."

After the City Hall ceremony, a limousine whisked Autrey — who also received a year's worth of free subway rides — to a meeting with Trump, who presented him with $10,000.

He also has received $2,500 from the New York Film Academy to start a scholarship fund for his children, and tickets and a backstage tour to the Broadway musical "The Lion King."

Autrey, who did the morning news show circuit on Thursday and taped a David Letterman appearance later in the day, will be flown to Los Angeles for an appearance next week on Ellen DeGeneres' show.

As for his new celebrity, he concluded, "good things happen when you do good."

Hi, I am traveling with my 65-year old mother [I am 27] and I think she likes the convenience of an escorted tour, I wouldn't mind being more independent, is there an escorted tour people could recommend, as well as the best ways to go about planning a trip as complex as this? I am looking into a package that already has the hotels, airfare, and rail tickets included, so its just the actual day trips I would need to plan.

Thanks!
