International Driving Permit

Valid in over 150 countries and printed in 10 languages, an International Driving Permit (IDP) is a valuable form of identification should you need to communicate with foreign authorities - even if you are not planning to drive.

Obtain an IDP at any AAA branch office. Bring a valid U.S. driver's license, $15 and two passport-size photos, which are 2 inches x 2 inches, with a white background. We can also take photos for you at a nominal charge.

Who is the head of Libya?

A civil war is breaking out in Libya — travelers beware.

But when we started looking into the head of state there — the infamous Muammar Qaddafi — we realized we have no idea how to spell the crazed leader’s name. (This is the same guy who wanted to displace all of the homeless in Central Park so he could set up a giant tent there — and, well, act like a homeless person.)

So in our search for the Q-man’s correct spelling, we learned from ABC News that there are actually 120 different spellings of his name. So allow us to present them to you:

International society of dumb asses; the world’s largest club

Like most of the world I’ve been glued to the television watching the devastating news coming out of Japan. Because of the nature of the quake it had an effect on the west coast of the United States as well. Tsunami warnings went out for the entire eastern Pacific coast line, from Alaska to South America. They urged people to head for the high ground and stay there for a time.

Beachy Bucerias and Beyond

The small town north of Puerto Vallarta that will steal your heart
That iconic line from Hotel California seems rather fitting here. You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave!

Sure you’ll eventually have to abandon the bubbly little Mexican town of Bucerias when your vacation comes to an end, but in your mind, you will never leave.

Personal Concierge Services: Quintessentially

I was a member of http://www.quintessentially.com when I first moved to London. They were useful for some things. For restaurant reservations, they could get you into the lower third of the best restaurants, but only with ample notice. I was able to get into a few private clubs, but nothing extraordinary. The most valuable thing they ever did for me was to get a table at Jean Georges in New York on Valentine's Day with just a few days notice.

Planes are nice

They're big flying buses and they show movies. Some of them are also all-you-can-drink.
