All travelers now need a passport or other accepted secure
documents to enter or reenter the United States. Naturalized U.S.

residents who aren’t citizens should carry their Permanent
Resident Card, more commonly known as a green card. U.S. residents
entering Canada from a third country must have a valid passport,
naturalization certificate, or green card.

Isometric tightening of your muscles is the simplest way to
exercise during a flight. Focus on a muscle or group of
muscles—say, your stomach. Sit up straight, and take a deep
breath. As you exhale, tighten your muscles and hold for a count of
10. Release and breathe in. Repeat five to 10 times. Do this every
20 minutes or so, choosing a different muscle or set of muscles
each time.

While all cabins are designed to be as comfortable and functional
as possible, you can’t get around the fact that cruise-ship
cabins are still much smaller than the typical hotel room. If you
intend to do nothing more than sleep in your cabin, book the
cheapest option, which is typically an inside cabin on a lower
deck. But if comfort is important to you, book the best cabin you
can afford. On newer ships more and more cabins have balconies, and
the chance to sit outside on your balcony to have breakfast or just
to relax and look at the stars is an unbeatable luxury.

Sometimes, there is a difference between traveling and vacationing.
Traveling is immersing yourself into a place to absorb a local

Vacationing, on the other hand, is fun, relaxation, and a really
good time – no matter where it is.
Every autumn, the world erupts for the hoppy concoction that we all
know as beer. Dark, light, ice-cold or cask, the wonderful beverage
of fermented barley and yeast gets its very own celebration. What
began as a wedding celebration in Munich 200 years ago now revolves
entirely around the drink itself and sometimes
– of course – the food. On
average, more than 6 million people travel to Munich for the
festivities each year, so if you happen to be one of them, check
out our Top 10 things to do in Munich (even if
you’re not heading to the party) and raise a

A few days into a recent trip to Las Vegas, it became clear to me
that my bank account and peace of mind could both likely benefit

. . . nearly time again for transitions, and while the closets are
still filled with white and light-as-air summer dresses and strappy
sandals, and the heavy blankets are still tucked away, soon there
will be soft sweaters and boyfriend blazers -- but for now, still
in in love with summer wicker, carefully woven market bags beneath
mirrored tables and shell chandeliers in the entryway, warm and
rustic dining chairs for sunday brunch, or perfectly stylish
baskets and cases with leather fasteners alongside a single ruffled
and pooling panel -- and when it's time, pair wicker with stacks of
freshly cut wood or vintage wool and mohair blankets to welcome the

‘Tis the season for lots of vacation talk, and so the Capitol
Hill crowd turned its attention to shrinking vacation syndrome this
week: First, a British columnist speculated that Americans
“find it hard to relax” because of their Puritan
heritage. Washington Post columnist Ezra Klein responded: I’d
say it’s more closely related to the fact that it’s
hard to pass social welfare legislation in the American political
system, and thus America is the only industrialized country that
doesn’t guarantee its workers some amount of paid-vacation
leave. NRO’s Reihan Salam followed up with a mild defense of
the American system. (Via The Daily Dish)
