Can someone tell me why the pilot sometimes turns on the seatbelt sign but it’s seemingly for no reason? I recently flew Dubai to London and he (or she) kept putting it on however nothing happened. Especially annoying as I needed the bathroom at the time?

Some of you warned me about El Paso, the latest stop on my two-week, reader-driven road trip. Reader Daniel Anaya e-mailed to say that the city “has little to redeem it in general.” Based on what I saw, I wouldn’t come to that harsh a judgment, but it’s certainly not the most lively city on a weeknight.

Why don’t I ever listen to my mother? She’d have warned me not to go into the undergrowth alone with a strange man, one who at this very moment is grinning widely and brandishing a sword only inches from my face.

Kenya currently remains under a U.S. State Department travel warning due to “threats of terrorism and the high rate of violent crime.” (Many on-the-ground experts say this designation is unfair, undeserved, and politically motivated, but that’s another story). I consulted the travel intelligence folks at iJet, who said that if I avoided the northwestern border areas, as all safari itineraries do, and practiced basic personal precautions, there was no reason to stay away.

Amid the bright lights and star-struck tourists, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement and glamour of rock ‘n’ roll’s most famous street — the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles. Bars, nightclubs, shops and restaurants line the road, practically throbbing with out-of-towners eager to spend their money. That is, if there is money to be spent.

PC people, rejoice: we know we’ve sort of got it bad for iMacs in hotels (yeah, yeah, we know; we’re those Mac people), but now we’ve got hot news for the PC folks who get psyched when they hear the Windows startup sound: The Lanesborough (a St. Regis Hotel in London) has announced that they’re placing Sony VAIO Laptops in all guestrooms, and they’re free for guests to use.

For those travelers who feel like they have done it all, a new out-of-this-world opportunity will soon be available–for a price. On June 19, New Mexico unveiled plans for the nation’s first commercial spaceport, Spaceport America. The spaceport, estimated to be completed by 2010, would take travelers up 50,000 feet, break out of the Earth’s atmosphere, and then fly up to 62 miles above the Earth.

After the Perfume River in Hoi An and the souks of Marrakech, Zanzibar rounds out the trio of ‘most-exotic’ places on the globe that I’ve long wanted to spend not days, but weeks. While these are very real places – crowded, often hot, occasionally dirty – they have each set themselves up in my mind, mostly through books, as mysterious, romantic. Now I’ve officially spent time in each.

I’ve been in France for several days now after my stunning train ride across the Alps from Turin, Italy. It was by far the most beautiful train trip I’ve ever taken and I crossed five national boundaries during the journey: Italy, France, Italy, France, Monaco, France. I have never been in the Alps before so it was quite the experience. Sadly, I didn’t get to take any photos as I was inside a moving train going in and out of tunnels the entire time.
