Traveling in Style
by: Cathy Feldman
A few months ago, I decided I was overdue for a proper vacation.
The last time I had been away for any length of time was five years ago.
After my first year of university, my parents generously sponsored me to go on a European tour.
I visited eight countries in fourteen days, and slept in youth hostels the entire time.
The only luggage I brought with me was my trusty backpack.
Following the advice of some more seasoned travelers, I sewed a Canadian flag on my backpack.
Everyone loves Canadians, eh!
This trip was to be somewhat different.
I have decided to go back to Europe, but this time I will be traveling in style.
I am planning to take a first-class flight into London, and I am in dire need of some first-class luggage.
Luggage is such a difficult thing to shop for.
It is one of those things that will not be used often enough to justify any great expense, but to purchase cheap luggage would be a complete waste of time and money.
I decided to get together with the friends I will be going away with, for an afternoon of good old American shopping.
We spent the afternoon going from department store to big-box store to specialty store and back again.
I finally narrowed my choices down to three potential sets of luggage; American Tourister, Briggs & Riley, and Zero Halliburton.
They each have certain appealing aspects, and they are all reasonably priced.
I read somewhere that American Tourister luggage has one of the best warranties in the industry.
Briggs & Riley have been manufacturing quality products since 1993, and they also offer an extensive warranty.
Zero Halliburton is, well?..Zero Halliburton.
Once I thought about it for a little while, I realized that the Zero Halliburton suitcase was the one for me.
I'll admit that I am actually in love with this luggage.
If James Bond were transporting a suitcase filled with priceless gems, he would use a Zero Halliburton.
I ended up purchasing a 26-inch Suiter for the slightly bloated price of $900.00.
It is constructed from a wonderful brushed aluminum that looks like it would withstand an explosion, much less the baggage handlers at Heathrow.
I will be bringing my prized collection of designer purses with me, so I can rest easy that they will be well protected in my awesome new suitcase.
Do you think I should put a Canadian flag on it?

Identifying A Nickel Allergy
Identifying A Nickel Allergy
by: Grant Segall
While we have all heard of people having a dust mite allergy, dog or cat allergy, peanut allergy, gluten allergy, and so on, very few of us have heard of the people living with a nickel allergy.
Even so, the number of people living with a nickel allergy is actually on the rise, partly due to the ever-increasing popularity with body piercing in which nickel is a common metal.
In fact, experts estimate that people with a nickel allergy has risen by as much as 40% over the past 10 years, specific to piercing.
With a nickel allergy, the symptoms can strike people of all ages and both genders.
While some people will have immediate reaction, most will have a reaction caused by prolonged exposure to the nickel.
If you have a nickel allergy and like piercings, then you might consider using stainless steel, gold, or silver instead.

Calling All Agents!
Calling All Agents!
by: Aleister Q. Fleming
I have always wanted to be a secret agent!
For as long as I can remember, I have wanted to be James Bond.
I mean?..who wouldn?t?
I would love nothing more in life than to sip Martini?s (shaken, not stirred), bed beautiful women (Jane Seymore), and defeat scary bad guys (Jaws) for a living?..not to mention having the best collection of cars and gadgets known to man!!
I travel quite a bit for business (good cover, huh?), and on my last flight home the airline was screening ?Goldfinger?.
It is by far my favorite Bond movie, starring Sean Connery.
Connery is the consummate Bond.
A had a few Martini?s on the flight, and was ready to save the world by the time we arrived in New York.
I realized I had a bit of a buzz as I waited for my luggage.
I was hardly intoxicated, but I was certainly feeling no pain.
Aye??it?s not easy being...
