Travel (General) - September 2007

I usually ride the bus to and from school and I live 3.1 miles away from my school. Tommorow I want to walk home with my friends instead of riding the bus. Last time I walked home from school it took me nearly 2 hours!! But of course I was walking home with my bf walking at turtle speed. I know my parents won't let me walk home from school tommarow if I ask so I'm planning to do it behind their backs. But I know they'll notice the time difference! It usually only takes 12 to 18 minutes on the bus. so the longest time i can take is 25 minutes. If I'm not home by the time my brother gets home(like 5 to 8 minutes after I usually do) then I'm gonna be in huge trouble! What's the fastest way to travel 3.1 miles in 25 minutes on foot?! (without running of course, cuz I'll pass out)

My daughter wants to go on the trip to the UK next summer. It's very expensive and I'd like to hear from others before we commit. Thank you.

this is for our 10th wedding anniversary & we have never traveled out of the US before.

Hawaii, England, Germany, Italy & Australia are the places we most want to see.

Right now Australia tops out list...What is MUST DO/MUST SEE???

Any suggestions on a fabulous place would be helpful! We want to do cheesy touristy things as well as emmerce ourselves in the local stuff. It will be a once in a lifetime thing so we want to make it count!

I just bought a 29" Dockers rolling/spinning suitcase, and I like it a lot. However, it is large. It measures 20" wide x 29" tall x 11" thick, plus expands another 2" thick. The measurements total 60" if I don't use the expansion capability. Most airlines seem to have a 62" limit on size and 44 pounds - after which they will charge you.

I haven't traveled much (but I plan to from now on) and I'm going to China in October. I am worried that this suitcase is too big and I will get charged extra. Air China's limits are 62" and 44 pounds.

I thought about loading it up and weighing it (will do tomorrow), but I thought I'd ask people if they own a suitcase of this size and if they have or have not had problems with checking it in on various airlines.

I guess I could return it and buy the next smaller size, but my trip is for 12 days so I feel like I need a larger bag.

Any and all advice is appreciated!

We are soon to be moving from Cyprus back to the UK.
I intend to send some boxes with clothes/cd's/books and other personal effects.

My question is, what do i put on the customs label? there is only 4 lines and it asks for quantitys.

surely i don't have to itemise everything.

I am now going home after completing my assignment in the foreign country.

I need to sent my desktop back home by courier.

May I know how do I pack my desktop into the mail? What do I put into the box containing the PC to protect the PC from rough handling? Can someone please advice? Where do I also get those material to protect my PC?

What do I need to put into the box to soften the impact on the PC from all the rough handling?
