Travel (General) - April 2007

I am going on an airplane for the first time and I don't know what you can bring and what you can't. I would just like to know the items like necessities and other items that you can bring and that you can't bring.

I know that under new regulations....it definitely is necessary if your're flying out of the country....but what about driving? Is a birth-certificate enough in this situation?

Thanks

No matter where you go or how nice the hotel, you can never get a good shower, most of them are little more than a trickle. I love traveling, but the showers always make me want to be home again. Most people don't spend much time in their hotel room when traveling, it's basically just to have a bed to sleep in, and a quick shower. So for what you pay for a room, one would think they could do something about it. I live in an apt. complex and get great shower pressure.

I need to get from Richmond to Providence to pick up a car. But I don't want to ask anyone I know, obviously that's way too far. Maybe a train or bus? Anyone familiar with travel in this area?

My friend is a U.S citizen and would like to take a trip to Barbados later this year. Could credit scores, late bills, not filing taxes, felonies etc....prevent him from getting a passport?

Hey, I'm planning a roadtrip and don't quite know how to calculate the gas. I have a 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Is that all I need to know besides gas prices and how far I'm going? Thanks!

what is the deal with people yeiling on a green arrow even in the right turning lane? it drives me insane, i guess i can understand if they are trying to be super safe and keep an eye our for people running a red light, but does that mean they have to creep out and look for like 15 minutes before they go? i dont know about everyone else but where i live green arrows stay green for like 10 seconds so by the time this moron is done yilding to invisible cars the light is turning red and everyone else has to wait again.

I am going on holiday tomorrow and realise from checking my airline's information on hand luggage that I need a resealable bag if I want to take any liquids through as part of my hand luggage.. And it has to be no bigger than 20x20cm. Where the hell can I buy one at such short notice?!? Or are they now sold at the airports for idiots like me who didn't know they needed one?

I'm going backpacking in Europe, and need some underwear to take. It has to be uber comfortable, as I will be walking around in it all day. Also, has to be a thong, as some of my pants, etc show panty lines. I have been looking EVERYWHERE, but can't find anything I love enough to take.
I live in Canada, so finding these things is sometimes really hard.
Also, price is somewhat of an issue. I don't mind spending around $10 on a pair (maybe a bit more) but I've found some pairs at, like, $30, and that's too much considering I need to get four or five pairs!

HELP!

We ordered the passports over 9 weeks ago, and at that point they were saying 6 to maybe 8 weeks. I got mine this week. Now we have one week left before our flight, and my hubby's is still not here. We have asked for a "rush" on it, but they say that is not a guarantee it will be here. My hubby said he will leave without it and then have it Fedex'ed to us there, but I am not sure we can do that???

Arizona's health officials warned him to wear a mask. He chose not to do so.

That seems to be the case for a 27 year old Phoenix man who's been in a Maricopa County hospital prison ward for the last eight and a half months.

The man suffers from a very rare case of tuberculosis; something that could kill him before he gets out.

Robert Daniels is in solitary confinement. "I never thought that this could happen," he says. "I'm telling you, I'm sometimes sitting on a bed and I'm just crying because of all the quietness."

"I'm not being isolated, I'm being incarcerated."

For the past 8 months he has been confined to his room, equipped with a special ventilation system. His only contact with the outside world is the medical staff who feed and treat him. And a telephone.

Are we heading down the proverbial "slippery slope" where everyone who has a communicable disease is at risk of being locked up if they act in a irresponsible manner?

I already know I'd go to other countries more than once a year if I could just afford it. Anyone know of something... other than Cheap Tickets that doesn't make me open up all these search sites at once only to lose my cheapest price after I compare it?

I got in a little spat with my co-workers, I'm thinking it would just be a few days, this other guy is saying a week. Then we started wondering how fast a ship would be going anyway. What speeds do they reach. We're thinking of cruise ships. Thanks!
