ON THE COVERA drop in the bucket (list)

Before I began working on thisissue of Forever Young, with itstravel theme, I had never

heard of a bucket list. Somehow Imissed the Rob Reiner movie abouttwo terminally ill men, played byJack Nicholson and Morgan Free-man, who go on travels to see placesthey want to see before they “kickthe bucket.”

Several of the people interviewedfor the stories in this issue men-tioned their own bucket lists and Ieven saw a motor home with thesign “Bucket Tour.”

I have always loved travel. Some ofmy fondest memories from child-hood are of summer road trips. Inthe morning, before we hit the road,we would go out for breakfast. Thatusually meant pancakes.

I remember one memorable trip to

Canada when I was 10. I had abandaged foot when we left becauseI cut it the night before. I had a caston my arm when we returned,because I fell off some playgroundequipment. I still managed to have awonderful time.

As I got older, the trips becamemore sophisticated. We went to theBahamas and Jamaica for winterbreak. Then, in my 20s, I went toEurope.

I have always had a fascinationwith British and French history. Iloved reading about kings andqueens and at one time, I thought I

Couple travels the open road

FORT PIERCE – Ann Healy andDavid Campbell take a road tripevery summer. While they have anend destination in mind, the route,the sights and the motels are alldecided on the spur of the moment,and that’s they way they like it.

“We never know where we’regoing to stop,” Ms. Healy said. “Wemight go 50 miles a day and wemight go 300. We stay off the inter-states.”

The couple travels in a 1999Buick that has taken them to Ten-nessee, to Branson, Mo., and as farafield as Niagara Falls and LasVegas. For the latter trip, they triedto drive as much of it as they couldon the famed Route 66.

“We stopped at a restaurant in onetown and the waitress told us aboutthe Route 66 Museum across thestreet. It had old cars and posters.”

Finding places off the beaten pathis their specialty. One road tookthem to Mobeetie, Texas, which hada population of 107 in the 2000 Cen-sus.

“It was a little tiny town, “Ms.Healy said. “It was so small, I’m noteven sure the governor knows aboutit and it’s shrinking every year. Theywere having a bluegrass thing toraise money for a fire truck.

“A guy said he was a descendant ofthe Dalton Brothers and showed usthrough their little museum. They’retrying to restore some of the build-ings to bring in tourists.

When they went to Branson, theysaw shows, but that was not the onlything they did. Mr. Campbell is afarmer. Farm implements and vehi-cles are his passion.

“The College of the Ozarks had aworking farm on the grounds,” Ms.Healy said. “They had a tractormuseum.”

While the pair has traveled toMonticello to see President ThomasJefferson’s well-known home, theyalso stumbled upon President JamesPolk’s childhood home in Ten-

nessee. There, too. There was a littlemuseum, with volunteers happy tofill in the history.

Ms. Healy and Mr. Campbell usu-ally travel from two to six weeks.Seven weeks is the longest tripthey’ve made, but by the end of thatone, they were ready to come home.

“A month to five weeks is good,”Mr. Campbell said. “Home looks good when you getback.”

Three years ago, the two headed toGraceland. They stayed at theHeartbreak Hotel, which had seenbetter days, but was right next doorto the house.

“The house looked like a Southernmansion, but it was homey inside,”Ms. Healy said. “You could seesomeone living in it.”

“There were tons of cars,” Mr.Campbell added. “He gave Cadillacsto people who worked for him.”

Ms. Healy and Mr. Campbell havemade several trips to Nashville,because both are country musicfans. They’ve been to the Grand OleOpry and Ryman Auditorium sever-al times, ridden a steamboat on theCumberland River, visited theCountry Music Hall of Fame andtaken a bus tour past the homes ofcountry stars.

“We saw Little Jimmy Dickens out-side mowing the lawn,” Mr. Camp-bell said.

For this couple, traveling at theirown pace, finding what the countryhas to offer, is the big draw.

“Every place has something differ-ent,” Mr. Campbell said.

“Most people in small towns arenice and willing to talk and tell youabout the town,” Ms. Healy said. It restores your faith in America.”

It was Mr. Campbell who providedthe definite word for why these tripsare so popular with the two of them.

“If you can’t drive to it, I’m notgoing,” he said with a smile.

Cruises and road trips

PORT ST. LUCIE – When Ed andTrina Kaleda set off on a trip, they areas likely to be on a cruise ship as intheir motor home. The Kaledas justreturned from a 28-day cruisethrough the Panama Canal and upthe west coast of the Americas. In afew months, they will get in theirmotor home and head out west toColorado.

“The Panama Canal was realinteresting,” said Mr. Kaleda, a retiredaerospace engineer with Pratt Whit-ney. “It was a good history lesson, inhow the French started it, couldn’t doit and gave up, and then around theturn of the century, the U.S. decidedto do it. They went a little differentroute and it came together. The con-crete they poured is still there.”

The process of passing through

the canal means going through thelocks into a big lake and out the lockson the other side.

“They pull you through with tugs,”Mr. Kaleda said. “They have their ownpeople to tie down the ships so theydon’t damage the locks. The tugs arelike little trains. There are several oneach side to control the ships.”

The trip through the locks takes allday and each ship has a scheduledtime, much an airport.

“You might have to sit until it’syour turn,” Mr. Kaleda said. “Thereare two sets of locks, so there’s likely aship next to you and you can watch itgo up and down. They’re in theprocess of building more locks oneach end because none of the reallybig cruise ships and oil tankers can fitthrough the current locks. At the turnof the (20th) century, who’d havethought they have cruise ships that

would marry Prince Charles. I wasvery young and didn’t know anybetter! I traveled all over the UnitedKingdom and on one special trip, toParis and the chateaux of the LoireValley. England, though, always feltlike home, even though I don’t havea drop of English blood.

After I abandoned Prince Charlesas a mate, I still thought aboutmarrying an Englishman, and that’sjust what I did. For almost a decadebefore we married, Roy and I werebi-continental, one or the other ofus crossing the pond to meet. Istayed in cold water flats and foundout that the reason English womenhave such wonderful complexions isthat it is always damp. Somehow therain makes everything bloom.

On of my trips, the weddingpresents and gown from Charles andDiana’s wedding were touring thecountry, raising money for charity.The gown looked, as many have

said, like and upside-downmeringue. The gifts were fascinating,because they were a cross-section ofeverything that was given. Therewere jewels from foreign potentatesand hand-made doilies from Mrs.So-and-So of Upper Cozy Village.Schoolchildren sent pictures. Noneof us knew, of course, what was tohappen later.

I am sure most of the readers ofForever Young have tales of wonder-ful vacations and their own bucketlists. I hope to return to Englandand France one day and I want tosee Italy. I am glad that I havedreams, because dreams are whatkeep us going. I hope you will enjoyfinding out what trips are popular in2012 and the stories of trips alreadymade.

As always, we welcome yourcomments. You can contact me [email protected]. I lookforward to hearing from you.

For July, we are exploring jobhunting after 50 and returning toschool. I’d love to hear from peoplewho are trying something new.

Religious travel fills a niche

PORT ST. LUCIE – In 2007, aclient asked travel agent ReneeThompson to plan a trip to Egypt,Israel and Jordan. She had somedifficulty finding companies thatspecialized in tours to religioussites.

When Ms. Thompson formed herown agency, Thompson Travel, in2008, she realized that religioustravel was the special focus shewanted for her agency. While shehappily sends honeymooners toHawaii and couples on Caribbeancruises, she also helps plan fellow-ship travel, with groups that share

similar interests and values; travelfor church groups, vacation pack-ages that include missionary work;and pilgrimages to places with reli-gious meaning.

“I was becoming more involvedwith the church,” she said. “MyNew Year’s resolution each year wasto read the Bible. I wasn’t doing iton my own, so I joined a Bible studygroup. As you look into the Bible,you have a desire to walk in thefootsteps of Jesus or St. Paul, placesthat are important.”

Fellowship travel is a rapidly-expanding segment of the religioustravel market.

held 5,000 people?”The Kaledas are big fans of cruise

ships, even when they elect to stay onboard and not sight-see.

“It’s a floating resort,” Mr. Kaledasaid. “There is dancing, entertain-ment karaoke, a gym, basketball,movies and shuffleboard. There’s awhole lot of people who don’t get offthe ship and are just going to relax.

“Where can you go where there isentertainment every night, no cook-ing or dishes, and you don’t have toworry about anything? Whatever youfeel like doing, it’s there.”

When the Kaledas are not relaxingonboard ship, they’re likely off travel-ing in their motor home.

“We’ve been to all the states,including Alaska and Hawaii,” Mr.Kaleda said. “We’ve been up anddown both coasts. On the West Coast,we went to the Yukon with the Top ofthe World Highway. “About the only

place we haven’t been is central Cana-da.”

The Kaledas tow a car behind theirmotor home. They travel about 200miles a day, and using the motorhome as the hub, travel in the car tosightsee.

“When you tow a car, it gives you alot of flexibility,” Mr. Kaleda said. “Ifmy wife sees a lighthouse, we stopand go see it. You find things younever thought about doing. In Ken-tucky, my wife saw that it was wherethey made Corvettes. We saw themmade. I’m interested in antique cars.It costs more to pick up a Corvette at afactory because they have a partywhen you come to pick it up. That’skind of nice.”

While the Kaledas have had motorhomes for several decades, retire-ment has made them cost-effective.

“It really doesn’t pay for itself untilyou retire,” Mr. Kaleda said. “It doesn’tpay to use it to go 50-100 miles away.If you go for several weeks, it costs a

This summer as we look toward avacation, many of us will considerthe high price of fuel and opt for

destinations right here in Florida. Whileour state is famous for great stops fromthe Panhandle to the Keys, please allowme to suggest a few that are just a bitmore out of the way.

Just north of Ocala is the tiny hamletof Micanopy, where the Michael J. Foxmovie “Doc Hollywood” was filmed.That was a romantic comedy borderingon being sappy had it not been set inMicanopy. The town is the true star ofthis folksy tale. On May 15 and 16Micanopy will hold the Doc HollywoodFestival, complete with a squashfestival, just like in the film. There willbe lots of activities for both young andold and there is sure to be a line for anintroduction to the famous pig from themovie.

Also in the town there happens to bea great private collection of antiqueautomobiles. Be sure to rent the moviefirst and then drive north from Ocala onI-75 to exit 374.

One of my favorite movies in recentyears was “Adaptation.” It was supposedto be a starring vehicle for NicholasCage and Meryl Streep but ChrisCooper steals it as a redneck plantexpert who pilfers protected flowersfrom a Florida State Park.

The flower is the Ghost Orchid of theFakahatchee and it actually exists.Thought to be extinct since 1980, in2009 it was rediscovered in the Ever-glades. A slender shoot that erupts froma rotten log and explodes in a gorgeouswhite orchid. The film is a bit compli-cated but well worth your time. You willwant to watch it a couple times beforeheading to the Fakahatchee Strand onState Road 29. As you headsouth, watch for the parkentrance just north ofthe village ofChokoloskee.

One of the most fun films everdone in Florida was “Follow ThatDream” starring Elvis Presley. It wasfilmed in the tiny fishing community ofYankeetown that sits on the Gulf andlooks today much as it did when Elviswas there in the ’60s. If you go there,remember to bring your snorkel andfins for bay scallop season begins onJuly 1. Take State Road 40 until it deadends at the Gulf of Mexico.

Silver Springs has beenthe site of several moviesand TV shows but the besthad to be “The CreatureFrom The Black Lagoon.”That iconic horrormovie from the ’50s stillplays well today andwas the prototype forhundreds of monsterflicks to follow. You won’twant to go tothe park butyou willwant tobringyour

boat. Take aleisurely cruise upthe beautiful SilverRiver to the attrac-tion. It is an idlespeed zone all theway. Re-watch themovie before yougo and you will beable to spot locations from the scenes.

This is a trip of a lifetime and is unpar-alleled for its natural beauty. The fact

that wild monkeys live there is justan added benefit. Once at the park

you might ask where “RebelWithout A Cause” starring JamesDean was filmed. Take StateRoad 40 (Granada Boulevard inOrmond Beach) andthe boatramp will

“Fellowship travel can go any-where, not just to religious sites,” Ms.Thompson said. “People like to trav-el in groups that share fellowship andmutual interests.”

Ms. Thompson said that there are alot more tour companies to choosefrom when she is putting together areligious trip.

“I have a group taking a Holy Landcruise out of Rome to Israel andEgypt,” she said. “There will be shoreexcursions to religious sites. It’s easi-er, as a travel agent, to put togetherall the components of the trip andget access to the different tour com-panies.”

Missionary travel is often puttogether by non-profit tour compa-nies.

“I know of one where you can go toAlaska and spend time at an Eskimovillage or go out West to NativeAmerican lands. If you go for a week,you spend a couple of days helpingout and the rest of the time, travel ona planned itinerary.”

Pilgrimages are yet another facet ofreligious travel.

“It’s a personal journey,” Ms.Thompson said. “People want to goto some place and learn about it in-depth. There’s an 11-day trip to Ger-many, to visit site of the EuropeanReformation. There are trips toGreece and Turkey to following thefootsteps of Paul. People want to goto Ireland. Italy has a lot of religious

sites. A lot of people do that everyyear.”

Ms. Thompson and her two associ-ates, Diane Richartz and Ginny Levy,can also put together religiousretreats and trips to local Christianattractions such as the Holy LandExperience and Wycliffe’s Word-Springs Discovery Center, both inOrlando. They also offer trips toChristian attractions in Strasburg,Pennsylvania, Branson, Missouri,Eureka Springs, Arkansas and Pigeon

Forge, Tennessee. Ms. Thompson is always seeking

out new tour companies and desti-nations for her clients. Religioustravel, after all, is not new.

“People have been traveling forreligious reasons for over 2,000 years,when the Wise Men traveled to seethe Baby Jesus,” she said.

Your ticket through securityIn a post 9-11 world, flying has

become a headache. Not the actualflying part, but getting through the

lines and being scanned, screened andpuffed on by all types of devicesdesigned and set in place to keep yousafer when getting on a plane.

When you’re trying to board a plane,though, it hardly seems like that.

It seems more like another obstaclebetween you and your dream destina-tion.

As the daughter of an airline pilot, Ihave flown all of my life in and out ofthe country. I have stood in line whilepeople argued with the TransportationSecurity Administration agents overhaving to throw away their $50 bottleof shampoo because it is 9 ouncebottle instead of the regulatedamount, men who did not removetheir belt with the large metal beltbuckle and couldn’t understand why itwas setting off the metal detector andwomen who refused to take off their

shoes and walk through the detector.Most of the time, it is not the TSA

agents’ fault that the line is movingslowly. It is passengers who are notprepared for flying.

One of the biggest problems are theliquid guidelines.

If you have larger bottles of liquidand wish to travel with it, then you canput it into your checked baggage. Ifyou are going to bring it in your carry-on, then there are some rules.

The TSA advises a 3-1-1 plan.The bottle cannot hold more than

3.4 ounces. You cannot have a 12ounce bottle with only 3 ounces in it.

You can bring on 1 quart-sized clear,plastic, zip-top gag and only one of

these are allowed per passenger.This bag must be taken out of your

luggage and placed in the screeningbin. If it does not fit in the bag, it doesnot fly.

Items in the bag should be liquids,aerosols and gels.

I am a cautious flyer, and put evenmy deodorant, lip glosses, facialcreams and anything else that mightmake me question it. If it fits in thebag, I’ll put it in there.

I tend to keep this bag in my purse.Why? Because digging for it in myluggage, unzipping it and riflingthrough my clothes and other items,to find it in a hurry, takes up precioustime. If it is in my purse, it’s easy tofind. If you are a gentleman flying,keep it in your attaché or an outsidepocket of your luggage.

Also, pay attention to your attire.Wear slip-on shoes. They are easier

to take on and off while going throughthe metal detectors and sliding your

shoes back on at the end of the linemakes it easier for you to get your bagand be on your way.

Keep any jewelry, watches, largeearrings in your bag. If you want tolook dashing and pretty for whomeveris picking you up, get made up afteryou go through security. Also, if youhave to take it off and put it in thebowl, you run the chance of forgettingit, so it is safer in your bag.

If you have a laptop, netbook ortablet device, be prepared to put thatin a bin while going through securityand have it accessible. You have totake it out of its bag. It cannot runthrough the scanner in its bag.

Belts are usually an issue. Thebigger the belt buckle, the moreproblems you’ll have. If you can, keepit in your bag until after you gothrough the line, then put it on.

You may be chosen for a random

Travel association not just for road trips

FORT PIERCE – A lot of peoplewant to tour different regions ofthe country this year. That’s a trendMichelle Bladergroen, manager ofAAA Fort Pierce has noted for 2012.

“We’re getting a lot of interest inthe United States,” she said. People want to go out west or tothe national parks. This year, forthe first time, we have our ownAAA vacations that are fly/driveand more independent.

“We include the car rental andhotel, but it’s not necessarily anescorted package. It’s pre-planned,but they’re doing it on their own.We provide the maps, with drivingabout 200 miles a day. They can

stop and enjoy things. Everyonehas GPS, but people still enjoymaps and our TripTiks that pointout places of interest.”

Ms. Bladergroen said thatcruises remain popular. Alaskaand the Caribbean are favoritedestinations, as are trans-Atlanticcruises to the Mediterranean andNorth Sea. River cruises are also indemand.

This year, London is a trendydestination because of the

Olympics, but Ireland and Italy arealso popular.

“I got to go to Italy for the firsttime in December,” Ms. Blader-groen said. “It was unbelievable. Ialways recommend an escortedtour for a first trip to Italy. There isso much to see and I hate for peo-ple to miss things. It’s good valueand they can bypass lines withfront-of-the-line passes. Once they

screening where you are hand-wanded. As uncomfortable as thismay be, it has happened to thou-sands of people all over. Every time Igo through security, I am chosen forthis.

It’s not scary. It’s quick and painlessand with no arguing, the processmoves on and you are on your planein no time. Arguing with TSA canlead to negative consequences, up toand including being arrested. Thenyou really missed your flight.

I hope this helps everyone duringtheir time flying. There are manyexciting places in the world and U.S.that are only a plane ride away.

I enjoy my flying experiences, butalways shake my head and have asmall chuckle to myself over thosewho are not prepared.

Now you are.

For more information, visit thetsa.gov website before you fly.

Things to know aboutusing credit abroad

The opportunity to travel overseas issomething few people would pass up.But before travelers board a jetliner foran adventure abroad, there are a fewthings they should know about creditcards and what to expect when thosecards are swiped in a foreign country.

FeesNot every credit card charges a for-

eign transaction fee, but many do. Thisfee applies to any purchases madeoverseas and can be significant if buy-ers aren’t careful. Some credit cardcompanies have eliminated foreigntransaction fees for certain cardmem-bers, particularly those with upscale ortravel-related cards. However, those

who don’t have such a card can expectthe foreign transaction fee to equal asmuch as three percent on the cost ofeach purchase. Before traveling over-seas, do some research into which ofyour cards has the lowest transactionfee, and then use that card when mak-ing purchases overseas.

ProtectionConsumers are more protected

when making purchases with creditcards than debit cards. When using adebit card, the money automaticallycomes out of your account when thecard is swiped. However, with a creditcard, no money is taken out of anyaccounts, and this gives consumersmore leeway if they feel the need to dis-pute a charge. Take your debit card

get the lay of the land, they go ontheir own and we do the hotelsand the rail.

While travelers still want trips topopular destinations like Australiaand New York, they are seeking outroads less traveled, as well.

“They are looking at Burma andUkraine,” Ms. Bladergroen said.“They want undiscovered areas.Cuba will be the same thing whenit is opened up for travel. It’ssomething new and different forpeople who have been every-where.”

While Asia is far away, escortedtours to China have been big sell-ers.

“We put together a 15-dayescorted trip to China,” Ms.Bladergroen said. “Once we high-lighted it in our magazine, it soldout in a week. We had to add three

or four more trips because of itspopularity.”

Japan saw tourism fall after thetsunami and nuclear disaster lastyear. Ms. Bladergroen said that itis not as expensive as it has tradi-tionally been as the Japanese try toget tourism back.

For those seeking value, espe-cially for family vacations, Ms.Bladergroen mentioned CostaR i c a .It’s still a great place price-wiseand there’s a vast amount to do,”she said. “There are volcanoes andwhite-water rafting. It’s great as atrip for three generations.”

For those wishing to stay in theUnited States, New York, San Fran-ciso and Las Vegas remain popu-lar, but there is a place closer tohome.

“Orlando is a great destination,right in our backyard,” Ms. Blader-groen said.

along, but it’s best to use it only whenyou need to withdraw cash (some-thing that will almost certainly garnera fee as well).

PerksSome cardmembers might have

travel benefits on their cards, andthese benefits can result in substan-tial savings. For example, manycards provide rental car insurance tocardmembers who are renting vehi-cles while on vacation. Some cardseven provide discounts at certainhotels. Before traveling abroad, trav-elers with multiple cards shouldexamine the perks each of theircards provides and then use eachcard accordingly.

Card IssuerThe card issuer should have a spe-

cific number to contact for overseasassistance. Many issuers now sus-

pend a card because of what theyrefer to as suspicious activity. Spend-ing lots of money overseas can verywell fall under this umbrella, andcardmembers might be stuck with-out their credit cards during theirvacation. Know the number to callshould you need help while over-seas, and call your card issuer beforeleaving to let them know you will beusing the card abroad. They shouldbe able to flag the account so thecard isn’t suspended if it suddenlystarts accruing charges overseas.

Exchange RatesWhenever possible, don’t allow

merchants to bill you in U.S. dollars.This enables merchants to chargetheir own exchange rates, which ulti-mately costs the customer moremoney. Don’t sign any checks orreceipts unless they are in the localcurrency. Conversion rates are notalways easy to remember, but studythem before leaving for your trip andkeep a table of conversion rates withyou at all times.

Make the most of your river cruise

Vacationers often want to makethe very most of their escape fromthe hustle and bustle of everydaylife. In addition to seeing the sightsand sounds their chosen destina-tion has to offer, men and womenon vacation also want to pencil insome time for some much-neededrest and relaxation.

Perhaps no vacation optionoffers that balance better thanriver cruising.

How to beat luggage fees

Most airlines today charge somesort of baggage fee. Whereas suitcasesand other cargo were once included inthe price of the ticket, and only costextra to bring aboard if they wereoversized, airlines looking to offset therising cost of fuel have establishednew charges for passengers. Some ofthese charges include various fees andsurcharges, including baggage fees.

The revenue generated from thecost to travel with — of all things —the items necessary for the trip canlead to thousands of extra dollars forairlines. In the first quarter of 2011,RITA, the Research and InnovativeTechnology Administration for theBureau of Transportation Statistics,reported that Delta collected $197,971in baggage fee revenue to rank No. 1out of the major airlines. In contrast,

USA 300 only collected $668 in bag-gage fees.

It’s now also commonplace formajor carriers to charge for everythingfrom booking a flight over the phoneto in-flight beverage service to mealsor even a blanket. Naturally, somepassengers are fed up with fees andare looking for ways to skirt extra costswherever possible. To avoid baggagefee charges, there are some things apassenger can do.

• Know limits. Airlines do not chargefor a carry-on bag, provided it meetsthe dimensions and weight specifiedby the carrier. Charges for regular lug-gage may vary depending on size andweight as well. Be sure to find out therules for your airline prior to packingso that you can cut down on costs asmuch as possible.

• Pack light. There’s no need to bring

any of that coveted R&R.That ability to offer the best of

both worlds is one reason rivercruises continue to grow in popu-larity. The fastest-growing seg-ment of the cruising industry,river cruising has increased atdouble digit rates for the pastseveral years, tripling the growthrate of ocean cruising over thattime. First-time river cruisers canmake their experience even morememorable by employing a fewtricks of the trade.

• Compare all-inclusive offer-ings. Before booking a river cruise,shop around and compare eachcompany’s all-inclusive offerings.Though logic might suggest every“all-inclusive” offer is the same,that might not always be the case.All-inclusive pricing typicallyfeatures accommodations and allonboard meals, but some compa-

nies sweeten their all-inclusivepackages with extras. Viking RiverCruises, for example, offers dailyguided shore excursions andculturally relevant multi-mediatalks in their all-inclusive package.Compare all-inclusive offerings tofind the best fit for you.

• Book early. Booking early hasits benefits with most vacationoptions, and river cruising is noexception. Some cruise lines offergreat deals for passengers whobook early, and these deals mightinclude airfare incentives that candrastically reduce the cost ofinternational airfare.

• Remember the essentials. Onceyour trip is booked, don’t forget topack the essentials, including allrelevant travel documents. Inter-national travelers will need theirairline tickets and passports, andit’s also a good idea to notify yourbank and credit card companythat you will be traveling overseas.

along your entire closet on a trip. Lay out separates that canbe put together in a number of ways to limit the amount ofclothing. Don’t pack toiletries. Chances are the hotel willprovide them free of charge. In many cases, it could becheaper to buy items at your destination than having to payfor baggage fees.

• Ship items ahead of time. If you can’t live without cer-tain items on your trip, consider having them shipped tothe destination. A little research could yield that you’re able

to send 100 pounds of luggage via a ground shipping serv-ice for less than the cost of airline baggage fees. Plus, youcan pack many of the items that the TSAconfiscates that arenot allowed on an airplane, including liquids and even anail file.

• Shop around. Base ticket purchases not only by the costof the fight but by the cost of the extra fees and baggagecharges. Compare what’s offered and use carriers thatcharge the lowest fees.

With airlines charging more and offering less, consumersare seeking ways to keep costs down. By packing light orshipping essential items ahead, you may be able to removethe cost and hassle of bringing luggage on board.

From skiing the Rocky Mountainsto sailing around the U.S. VirginIslands, getting a mobile connectionin remote locations can often provedifficult — if not impossible. Thelack of cellular towers in hard-to-reach areas yields minimal signalsand little to no access to mobilecommunications services. However,new mobile technology, traditional-ly used primarily by governmentofficials, can now help mobile usersstay connected even in isolatedlocations or when cellular networksare unavailable.

An integrated satellite-cellularsmartphone, the TerreStar(TM)GENUS(TM) has changed the gamein mobile communications, offeringa feature-rich approach to mobilesatellite communications. About the

size of a deck of cards, the phoneconnects to the AT&T wirelessnetwork for primary cellular con-nectivity, and gains satellite connec-tivity through the power of Ter-reStar-1, the world’s largestcommercial communicationssatellite, which acts as a cell tower inthe sky. With the additional layer ofsatellite connectivity and security ina convenient smartphone formfactor, the mobile user’s everydayphone easily becomes an emer-gency satellite phone when the useris out of cellular coverage or thenetwork is unavailable.

As the world’s only satellite-enabled smartphone, the GENUSoffers the ultimate wireless backupcapability using the cellular networkas the primary mode and satelliteconnectivity as a secondary optionfor voice, data and messaging. Withjust one phone number and one

contact list — on one device —users with a line of sight to thesouthern sky can feel secure withexpanded voice and data roamingcoverage in the United States,Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands andin coastal waters up to 200 milesoffshore. The phone runs on theWindows Mobile 6.5 operatingsystem, providing rich functionalityand a full spectrum of premiumsmartphone features, such astouchscreen, camera, MicroSD slot,Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and fullQWERTY keyboard.

“This is the smartest smartphonewe’ve seen in satellite communica-tions, as the device pushes theenvelope and satellite communica-tions in new directions,” said DanielLongfield, senior analyst at Frost &Sullivan, a research consultancy.“It’s lightweight, has the same look-and-feel as a traditional smart-

phone, is small enough to fit in yourpocket, yet combines the features ofsatellite and cellular communica-tions to offer the most comprehen-sive service possible — somethingno other satellite communicationscompany has figured out yet.”

As a smartphone with a peace-of-mind satellite backup option, theGENUS offers mobile communica-tions assurance with its integratedsatellite-cellular service on demand.The device and service plan arepriced competitively when com-pared to traditional mobile satellitecommunications devices, and canbe purchased by consumers atwww.Amazon.com or through anAT&T representative (for businessand government customers).

Mr. Kaleda said it was a thrill tosee the ruins of Pompeii and walk theroads in Europe where Romanswalked thousands of years before, but

he’s still a fan of seeing the UnitedStates.

“We have some of the most spec-tacular stuff to see out West that youcan see in the world,” he said. “In afew months, we’re taking the motorhome to go back out west to Col-orado. We have property there.There’s a lot of stuff to see out there.”

the Bogart-Bacall movie “Key Largo”was filmed. Also in the town of KeyLargo is the original boat, the AfricanQueen, from the movie starringHumphrey Bogart and Kate Hepburn.Look for it in a canal near the HolidayInn on the east side of U.S. 1.

My own favorite Keys movie is “TrueLies” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.The best scene in that film is whenArnie plucks Jamie Lee Curtis from thesunroof of a limo just before it crashesinto the sea off of the old Seven MileBridge. Drive south of Marathon andcruise the new Seven Mile Bridge andwatch for the break where that scenewas filmed. The scene with the Harrier

Jet and the Miami skyscraper is alsogreat. While in the Keys, swim with thedolphins in a natural setting at theDolphin Research Center on GrassyKey.

On Alachua County Road 325 nearGainesville you might visit the home ofMarjorie Kinnan Rawlings at OrangeLake. She wrote the book “The Yearling”there and her home is now a museum.Read the book and see the film beforeyou go. Many of the scenes were filmedin the nearby town of Hawthorne. It is atrue look at pioneer Florida.

Well there you have it. That’s my list ofeasy Florida movie vacations. I havebeen to them all. I wouldn’t recom-mend them otherwise. Get lots ofMicrowave popcorn and watch themovie and then strike out to see the site.Good fun. Enjoy!

In addition, pack any medicationyou’re currently taking and, thoughseasickness or nausea is highlyunlikely when traveling on a river,any additional over-the-countermedications that might help youcounter any unforeseen bouts ofindigestion or headache.

• Be a traveler for all seasons.Some river cruises will take travel-

ers to a host of cities and quaintlocales. Viking River Cruises pas-sengers frequently awake in anexciting new destination each day,enjoying new scenery and vistasthat can change drastically fromday to day. These destinations don’talways offer the same weather, soremember this when packing andpack clothes that can handlewhatever weather you mightencounter.

River cruising continues to growin popularity as travelers increas-ingly look to vacations that com-bine the allure of internationaltravel with the rest and relaxationof a scenic river trip.
