New Airport Security
It is expected that additional airport security measures will be rolled out at all the nation’s airports by the end of first quarter 2003.  As a result of these additional measures, you must now have in your possession prior to the main security checkpoint, a government-issued ID and a current day boarding pass.  An e-ticket itinerary or an agent-issued/airline–issued itinerary is no longer valid on its own to allow you to pass through security.  A boarding pass can be obtained at one of the kiosks located before the security checkpoint (not at all airports) or at the airline’s check-in counter.  Check with your airport to verify regulations.
Travel Tip
Here are six ways to reduce your impact on the environment when trekking:
        1.  Instead of using bottled water, use iodine tablets or a filtering system.
        2.  Order foods that cook fast (e.g., noodles, chapatti, soup, etc.) to help reduce fuel costs.
        3.  Use local food products (e.g., carrot, potato, cabbage, etc.) to help the local economy.
        4.  Find lodges that use kerosene or solar power instead of wood for fuel.
        5.  Keep all trash and discard when you return to a major city.
        6.  Create memories with photographs & journal entires, not by taking artifacts.

A Cook's Tour: Global Adventures in Extreme Cuisines  by Anthony Bourdain, published by Bloomsbury.   The only thing “gonzo gastronome” and internationally bestselling author Anthony Bourdain loves as much as cooking is traveling.  Inspired by the question, “What would be the perfect meal?” Tony sets out on a quest for his culinary holy grail and in the process turns the notion of “perfection” inside out.  From California to Cambodia, a Cook’s Tour chronicles the unpredictable adventures of America’s boldest and bravest chef.
Just For Fun
An American man, a Russian man, and an African man were all up in a hot-air balloon together.
After a few minutes, the Russian man put his hand down through the clouds.
"Aah!" he said. "We're right over my homeland."
"How can you tell?" asked the American.
"I can feel the cold air." he replied.
A few hours later the African man put his hand through the clouds.
"Aah, we're right over my homeland." he said.
"How do you know that?" asked the Russian.
"I can feel the heat of the desert."
Several more hours later the American put his hand through the clouds.
"Aah, we're right over New York."
The Russian and the African were amazed.
"How do you know all of that?" they exclaimed.
The American pulled his hand up.... "My watch is missing."
