"Maritime law requires that a ship comes to the rescue if they see a distress signal. I was on Seabourn Odyssey this winter when the ship rescued three stranded fishermen in the South Pacific. The response of the passengers was…"
"Have you tried Skitch? It's a free app that offers tons of flexibility, and is compatible with Evernote. I use it for presentations and it works wonderfully:

"Allan, some states require all adults to be carded. What's really bad is when the waiter or clerk apologizes for having to ask you. As if to say, "Yes, I know you're really old but the law made me check your age." :-)
One of my peeves is when the media confuses the term boomers and seniors. Most of us are not decrepit, don't wear Depends and are not ready for assisted living. The youngest boomer is 46, while the oldest clocks out at 64. While there…"
"Twitter is invaluable for connecting with the travel industry, other travel writers, keeping up with travel trends, conducting travel research and attracting readers to blog posts and online articles. Planning a twitter strategy helps reduce the…"
