What kind of watch is good for travelling? My criteria for a travel watch is as follows: 1.

It must feature luminous hands and hour markers. It is always too dark in the plane during the journey. changing the local time must be easily accomplished.

Most of my writing (books and articles) has to do with travel and adventure; mainly events that are fun and exciting; things that cause memories with a chuckle. The reason I enjoy chronicling unusual and humorous things that happen to me in life is not so much from a desire to share my experiences with others, although I don't mind doing so. My real motivation is about giving me a way to relive some of my life's journey should I be inflicted with the fate that destroyed the memory and life of my mother. That is, I write for myself in the future; and secondarily for curious family members ...

Backing up your computer can be a pain in the rear! Well you know what I mean. If you are like me, then you always mean to "get around to it", but "around" somehow never comes. That was until one weekend and my hard drive failed, taking a very important project with it. Since the project was due that Monday, I frantically searched for the last backup to recover it. Much to my dismay, the backup was over a week old and I had done at least 20 hours of work on it since then. I spent the next 24 hours typing and redoing all that work! Since then I have been very careful to make backups as often as...

All that good food, movies, shows, and just some quiet time in the cruise lounge is mine for the taking. W...

On July 1st, 2008, California will join many other states that restrict cell phone use while driving. California's new law says that if you’re over 18, you can only talk and drive "handsfree."
