Going through airport security is no laughing matter, that is, unless you’re the airport security.

Rebecca Solomon is claiming that a Transport Security Administration worker at Philadelphia airport played a prank on her while she was flying back to school in Michigan, the New York Times reported.

Life in Southern U.S.A.
Camilo Rayo

I bit into an orange in Jacksonville, Florida, after having to battle darkness, a tree full of thorns and the laws of gravity. Yes, for one split second I embodied the reincarnation of Eve, only to realize that the purity of the situation left my red bloody fingerprints all over, and my mouth stinging with fresh citrus. Evidence.

North Louisiana has treasures to share, just get off the highway and look around.

The flight from New York was easier than I expected and might have been somewhat cheaper if I had left out of Newark. I took a two-step process that had a short wait in Atlanta before landing at the Monroe Airport, where I started a quick paced and well designed tour of central and northern Louisiana.

We learned that gaming is only part of the Mohegan Sun Experience. They offer little bit of their heritage and history with the welcoming attitude of Uncas.
Janet Pope

I hadn't been to The Mohegan Sun in about 10 years and when my husband and I recently returned, I was so pleasantly surprised at all the updates and additions. As we entered the lobby, decorated with birch trees made to resemble the inside of a Native American basket, the surroundings were not at all what I remembered. The first part of the casino was built in 1996. In 2000, the casino underwent a massive expansion and in 2002, the hotel was built. No wonder nothing seemed familiar.

Spending a vacation in a chain hotel can be a stifling experience. Let's face it: chain hotels are convenient. But visitors will more often than not sacrifice the much sought-after local color of their travel destination for uniform appearance and professional courtesy that resembles more a cold shoulder in the name of convenience.

Finally, a builder gets it right. For us!
Donald Miserandino

Since they were born, the "baby boomers" have not been treated with full economic respect. From the shortage of cloth diapers, to the explosive increase in school taxes, we have been overcharged for everything. And despite police actions, experimental vaccines, threats of atomic bombs and the draft, we are still here, still to be dealt with and still paying more for being alive. The point here is that every economic step in our lives was seen as an opportunity for somebody else and we had to pay top dollar for each product we wanted.

In the past I have enjoyed cruising, as well as river-boating. I have even, at one time or another, found myself on a sailboat, a speedboat, a raft and even an inner tube, but I had never been houseboating before. And now that I have experienced it firsthand, it is among my top vacation ideas.

Recently, my husband and I went to a destination known far and wide for primarily one thing

Taking a non-ski, ski weekend spreads the wealth of health without straining the muscles
Donald Miserandino


For those of us who don't ski, we really miss our partners and are sort of jealous of them having fun on the slopes without us. Grand County Colorado understands our loss and invites us to join the skiers in a non-ski, ski trip. So encouraged by a damp New York winter I took a break and headed out west. After checking the Internet about out all the snowstorms and cold weather, I packed the big suitcase took off for Denver. When I landed, I learned that Denver can have a different weather pattern than Grand County and that explained the sunny skies and tulips popping out of the ground!

History abounds, sleep awaits
Meredith Daniels

Day One -- Berlin
When the first sight that greeted me, upon landing at Berlin's airport, was a store called Love Sex and Dreams (LSD), I thought I had landed in Amsterdam's airport by mistake. Having many preconceived notions before starting my exciting, yet affordable two-city excursion, I couldn't help but wonder what else awaited me in Berlin.

As a New Yorker traveling in another big city - I naturally found myself making comparisons to the Big Apple.
