How Safe Is Your Tour Bus?
<img src = "http://z.about.com/d/seniortravel/1/0/S/0/-/-/Tour_Bus_1.jpg" hspace="5" align="right" width="170" height="128">
<p>Last week's <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/03/05/arizona.bus.crash/index.html?hpt=Sbin">fatal bus crash in Arizona</a> has brought bus safety into the news headlines once again. The bus in last week's accident was operating illegally, according to the <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/about/news/news-releases/2010/phoenix-bus-crash.aspx">Department of Transportation</a>. Although the carrier, Tierra Santa, had been told by the Department of Transportation that its passenger carrier application had been turned down, the company continued to operate.</p>
<p>If you are taking a bus trip across state lines, you can <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://">look at your motor carrier's safety record</a> before you travel. The Department of Transportation makes interstate motor carrier safety information available to the traveling public, and you can <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://seniortravel.about.com/od/transportationoptions/f/BusSafeth.htm">check your bus operator's passenger safety record online</a>.</p>

Arriving at an Airport Near You: Full-Body Scanners

<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://www.cnn.com/2010/TRAVEL/03/05/body.scanners.airports/index.html?hpt=T2">CNN</a> is reporting that the first full-body scanners purchased under the economic stimulus plan of 2009 will be installed at Boston's Logan Airport this week. By the end of this summer, 11 U.S. airports will receive full-body scanners.</p>
<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://seniortravel.about.com/od/seniortravelbasics/f/WholeBody.htm">Full-body scanning</a>, also called <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://seniortravel.about.com/od/seniortravelbasics/f/WholeBody.htm">whole-body imaging</a>, is a screening method that allows security officials to see through all the layers of clothing a passenger wears. The process is controversial because it enables security screeners to see images of unclothed passengers.</p>
<p>The Transportation Security Administration offers air travelers an alternative to passing through the full-body scanners. Anyone uncomfortable with the scanning process can request a physical pat-down instead.</p>

Would You Pay a Hotel Resort Fee?
<p>Yesterday I booked a hotel room for an event I'm attending later this year. As I read the "fine print" on the reservation screen, I realized that the hotel would also charge me a "<a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://seniortravel.about.com/od/accommodations/qt/ResortFees.htm">resort fee</a>" of $10 per day, which would cover fitness center access, a daily newspaper, two bottles of water, local calls (20 minutes per day), toll-free and credit card calls and internet access.</p>
<p>Didn't some of those things used to be free? It doesn't cost the hotel anything to allow me to use my own telephone credit card, so why am I paying for the privilege? And what if I don't use the fitness center or drink the water? Can I ask the hotel to take these charges off my bill?</p>
<p>Perhaps. Resort fee charges vary from hotel to hotel; some charge $5, some charge $20 and some don't charge anything at all. Hotel resort fee policies are equally variable. Some hotels will remove the resort fee from your bill and others will not.</p>
<p>What do you think? Should hotels assess "mandatory" resort fees or just bundle these charges into your bill? Would you pay a resort fee? Take our poll and share your opinion in the comments box below.</p>

Massive Earthquake Strikes Chile, Generates Tsunami Warnings
<p><a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://www.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/americas/02/27/chile.quake/index.html?hpt=T1">CNN</a> and other news media are reporting that a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck near the city of Concepcion in central Chile at 3:34 a.m. local (Chilean) time this morning, killing at least 78 people. Tsunami warnings have been issued for South America, Hawaii, Japan, the Philippines, Russia, New Zealand and many Pacific island nations.</p>
<p>According to the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, the first <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://www.prh.noaa.gov/ptwc/messages/hawaii/2010/hawaii.2010.02.27.125041.txt">tsunami waves will begin to hit the Hawaiian coast at 11:19 a.m. local (Hawaiian) time</a>. <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://www.prh.noaa.gov/ptwc/messages/pacific/2010/pacific.2010.02.27.124623.txt">Other tsunami arrival times</a> will vary based on the distance of each nation from the earthquake's epicenter.</p>
<p>Of course, travel to and within Chile will be severely affected by this disaster. This earthquake was over 1,000 times stronger than the 7.0 earthquake that devastated Haiti. The airport in Santiago will be closed for at least 24 hours, according to CNN.</p>
<p>If you are in Chile or under a tsunami warning, please follow all official instructions to ensure your safety.</p>

Beat the Winter Blues - Take Your Grandchildren to an Aquarium

<p>I took this photo at the National Aquarium in Baltimore at a sleepover event.</p>
<p>Even if snow is piled hip-high along the side of the road, visiting an aquarium is sure to send those winter blues away. You'll be indoors, for one thing, and you can learn about aquatic habitats around the world. Some aquariums have dolphin shows (watch out for the Splash Zone!) and others feature penguins, sharks and other popular marine animals. Behind-the-scenes tours, aquarium sleepovers (some allow you to bring air mattresses) and special events can really add to your aquarium experience. Aquariums appeal to young and old alike at any time of year.</p>

It's Time to Celebrate Maple Syrup
<img src = "http://z.about.com/d/seniortravel/1/0/l/B/-/-/StrawberryHillMapleProgramGettysburgCVB.jpg" hspace="5" align="right" width="170" height="127">
<p>It's the time of year, at least where I live, when spring is just around the corner but we're still stuck with snow, mud and gloomy skies. Cabin fever is all too real. My suggestion for overcoming winter's last stand, at least if you live in the northeastern U.S. or eastern Canada, is to <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://seniortravel.about.com/od/ustravel/p/MapleSyrupFestivals.htm">find a maple syrup festival in your area</a>.</p>
<p>I first heard of maple syrup festivals when I lived in West Virginia. In the middle of March, everyone I knew was heading out to the <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://seniortravel.about.com/od/ustrave1/p/HighlandMapleFestival.htm">Highland Maple Festival</a> in a neighboring Virginia county. It was freezing cold outside and mud was everywhere, but I went - and had a fantastic time touring sugar camps, buying way too many beautifully hand-crafted items and eating stacks of syrup-covered pancakes.</p>
<p>You can find maple syrup festivals almost anywhere syrup is produced. Our <a href="http://clk.about.com/?zi=1/1hc&zu=http://seniortravel.about.com/od/ustravel/p/MapleSyrupFestivals.htm">list of maple syrup festivals</a> can help you locate a celebration in your area.</p>

Senior Tip #2
You will need a few extra things during your so you need to pack wisely and pack lightly. This means that you need to take just enough things. For instance, if you want to bring your own personal necessities like lotions, shampoos, toothpaste and the likes, you need to take only small packs that are enough to last during the entire duration of your trip. Do not bring your entire collection of soaps and shampoos with you.
Senior Tip #3
Carry a small bag where you can put all your medicine and other important things with you when you travel. You need to keep your small bag with you all the time so do not make a mistake of checking it in at the airport. You don't really know when you are going to need your medicines so please be careful to keep them with you all the time.
