ABC News is reporting that swiping a credit card at the pump may instantly increase your per gallon cost of fuel by a few cents.
Right now I’m running an expierament at several gas stations and I’ll report my findings next week. I’d first like to ask if you’ve noticed any hidden gasoline charges at the pump?

Take a quick picture of your suitcase and bags to decrease the amount of time that it will take to recover your bags, in case they are lost.
Face it: your luggage probably looks just like 90% of the luggage out there. Let me guess: it’s black with a few zippered pockets? Snap a few pictures of the bags your toting around before you leave. If they wind up in Tahiti when you’re headed to Taiwan, it’ll be much easier to show the airline clerk a photo rather than trying to explain how it’s big and black with zippers.
Travel blog Vagabondish also has 12 other clever uses for your digital camera including photographing subway maps, using it as a backup light, and to avoid rental car scams. A digital camera is one of the few small travel essentials that will help you consolidate information and lighten your luggage.

The term “staycation” refers to someone who decides to take off time from work to enjoy life at home. Although the concept is an old one, it’s getting more popular due to a poor economy and travel hassles.
My recent travel plans to several countries in Europe never panned out but I decided to use the time I had already taken off and spend it at home. Over the last two weeks I’ve learned what to do - and more importantly what not to do on a staycation.

This is the final entry of the Sexiest Story Contest. This one from Frederika Alpert, an international journalist and author. Readers sent in their best advice and adventures for a chance to win $250 towards their next trip.
Hi, I’m an international journalist who has done a lot of travel. I’m too lazy now to write up anything but you give me the opportunity to give you my best jet-lag travel advice. I have often thought I should apprise Frommer or NY TImes readers of this tried and true method. Nothing works better than masturbation–preferably with a great vibrator–when in Asia and waking up every hour on the hour.

It was summer of 98′ and my cousin and I were visiting my older brother in Santiago de Chile. He was going to college there and at the time he was a freshman and I was a 17 year old junior in high school.
It was our first weekend in town and as hormonal teenagers all we wanted to do was start drinking and partying. We started drinking early in the night and then proceeded to go out to find the best place to party.

There is something truly sensual about Bellagio, Italy. One of 6 towns situated around beautiful Lake Como, Bellagio is truly a living postcard. With its gorgeous architecture, landscaped gardens, and location on the lake, every view is simply breathtaking. Lake Como is an amazing deep blue framed by homes on the shoreline and amazing villas built into the sloping hills.

One lovely evening after a few drinks with some friends, I was walking to the metro with my friend Mathias. On our way we passed a bar called the ‘Sans G’ne‘ where I noticed that an attractive young lady was looking at me. I felt compelled to speak to her, so I turned around said bye to Mathias and made my way to the bar.
I walked in and sat at the bar, where a very friendly bartender asked me what I wanted to drink. I ordered a beer and as he handed it to me he asked do you like boys or girls?
