Bali Absolute Insanity and Complete Serenity

Upon landing in Bali I headed straight for the main tourist town of Kuta Beach to get my bearings. I learnt very quickly that this place geared towards Aussie holidayers looking to party. The town is crazy with people drinking all the time and parties everywhere you look. The towns orientation just adds to the craziness theres no main streets just little alley ways everywhere which all are c

Renewing Passport Years Early

If you have your passport amended to a new last name, it appears later in the passport book. When a passport is scanned (by a cruise line, for example), the original name is still going to pop up in their system. While you can just show them the name amendment page, it can cause some unnecessary confusion.

With that, a reader asked us if it is possible to renew your passport years early to have it completely changed to her new name.

You can apply for a renewal anytime you want, but be aware that you will lose the remaining validity of the passport (the additional years will not be added on to those left), and you should submit a letter stating why you would like to renew your passport so early.

Spring Break three different ways

By Keith Still

Spring Break. From the earliest days of kindergarten, we are conditioned to anticipate the annual spring holiday. We look forward to it. We count down the bleak mid-winter days until that breath of fresh Spring Break air arrives. It?s our reward for all of those mornings standing out at the bus stop in the cold and the dark.

Then we go off to college, and Spring Break takes on a whole new meaning. It?s no longer a few days off with the chance for a small vacation. It?s a weeklong party designed to blow off the collective steam of thousands of collegians at once. It?s an American bacchanalia, held wherever they will let us get away with this kind of behavior ? but preferably with a warm beach nearby.

Obviously, not every college student rushes off to MTV-style Spring Break locations, but you would be hard-pressed to find a single student who isn?t looking forward to a few days away from the books ? especially right now, in mid-February.

Given those years of …

Will spike in oil prices change your travel plans?

By Keith Still

Every time the price of oil spikes, it seems, stories start popping up about how gas prices may scare travelers into staying home. Or how this travel season?s hottest trend will be the ?staycation.? There?s good reason for the predictability of those news reports, though, because high fuel prices do affect travelers? plans in a pretty predictable way.

The most dramatic way, perhaps, is that skyrocketing costs at the pumps can be the deciding factor for some travelers, actually keeping them home altogether. Those who do venture out of town may change their plans ? opt for a shorter trip; stay in a cheaper hotel; eat out less/choose less pricey restaurants while on vacation; or spend fewer dollars on souvenirs and entertainment. People talk about oil being a limited natural resource, but for many of us, cold, hard cash is our most scarce commodity.

The bad thing about high fuel costs is that they?re difficult to escape. Don?t want to spend hundreds of dollars …

We got a reader question asking about getting a passport for a child if you don't have custody. In this case, the person wanting to apply for the passport is a biological parent.

When applying for a passport for a child, it doesn't matter who the biological parents of the child are, it matters who currently has custody of the child. This is to keep a parent who has lost custody from getting a passport and taking their child out of the country.

If a biological parent who doesn't have custody wants a passport for a child, they must appear with a notarized letter of consent from the person with custody.

Red-hot southern destinations for a Valentine?s vacation

Most people hope the smooch they get on Valentine?s Day isn?t like kissing a cold fish, but Discovery Cove in Orlando is courting guests to come on down for just that very thing. That is, the resort is hoping to entice couples with its Valentine?s Day packages that include, among the beloved chocolates, champagne and other special touches, a kiss from one of the park?s dolphins.

Everywhere you turn right now, southeastern hotels, resorts and tourist attractions are looking to seduce travelers with come hither holiday deals. For Atlantans, the only problem might be narrowing down the list of places for that perfect Valentine?s cuddle.

  • Discovery Cove?s V-Day packages begin at $129 and run as high as $449 — not including the theme park admission.

Hot Coffee and Two Egg for your next getaway?

By Keith Still

When you have the chance to get away unexpectedly, how do you decide where to go? It?s not a vacation. You don?t have time to really plan. Nor is it a romantic getaway, where the agenda pretty much sets itself. A lucky few can take those unexpected days and whisk off to exotic locales, but most of us take our last-minute travels to places that are more affordable and much closer to home.

So how do you choose a quick getaway destination that provides a little rest, a little relaxation and a good story to share with your friends and colleagues when you get home?

The prospect of a couple of days away has recently come up for me ? right in the dead of winter. It?s unexpected, so my travel budget is pretty small. (Read, no paying through the nose for last-minute airfare.) It?s just a couple of days, so any trip must fall within an easy drive of Atlanta. And it?s February, meaning as much as I adore the ocean, I?m not likely to brave the brisk waters at …

The short answer is yes, you do have to leave once your visa is up. With just a tourist visa, you cannot extend it past the 90 days allowed from overseas. You cannot just turn fly home, grab another visa, and fly back either. You must remain the states for 90 days before getting another 90 days visa, as well.

?I Forgot to Check the Passport Book Box!?

Hey, we all make mistakes! When you fill out form DS-82 for a passport renewal, there is a small box where you check passport card or book.

Some people forget to check one box or the other or they don't understand the difference. If you realize afterwards that you didn't check one of the boxes, it's probably going to fine! We got a reader question asking if her application would be sent back, but that's unlikely.

Because you also send a check with your application, the passport officials will probably just use that amount to figure out what you meant, since the renewal for a passport card is $20, the book is $75 and both are $95.

Spring Break three different ways

By Keith Still

Spring Break. From the earliest days of kindergarten, we are conditioned to anticipate the annual spring holiday. We look forward to it. We count down the bleak mid-winter days until that breath of fresh Spring Break air arrives. It?s our reward for all of those mornings standing out at the bus stop in the cold and the dark.

Then we go off to college, and Spring Break takes on a whole new meaning. It?s no longer a few days off with the chance for a small vacation. It?s a weeklong party designed to blow off the collective steam of thousands of collegians at once. It?s an American bacchanalia, held wherever they will let us get away with this kind of behavior ? but preferably with a warm beach nearby.

Obviously, not every college student rushes off to MTV-style Spring Break locations, but you would be hard-pressed to find a single student who isn?t looking forward to a few days away from the books ? especially right now, in mid-February.

Given those …

Cherry Blossom fests will focus on helping Japanese earthquake victims

By Keith Still

The tragedy of the massive earthquake, ensuing tsunami and volatile nuclear situation that continues to unfold across the Pacific in Japan has wrenched the hearts of sympathetic Americans. It is difficult to imagine the devastation and loss already, let alone begin to conceive a return to normal ? especially as a nuclear threat still looms.

With that said, Delta Air Lines resumed its normal flight schedule to Tokyo on Monday after canceling flights over the weekend. Even as threats of radiation leaks grew higher yesterday, Delta and American Airlines said normal operations would continue.

Other than those involved with relief efforts, I wonder how many will be traveling as normal to Tokyo or the rest of Japan. The U.S. government has issued a travel alert, urging Americans to avoid travel to Japan over the next month. On Monday, however, Delta said it continues to see strong bookings.

For those who heed the government?s travel warnings, but who want to show …

Has traveling together ever ruined your relationship?

By Keith Still

Last week, we looked into great places around the southeast to spend Valentine?s Day with your special someone. Traveling together can really help couples re-connect and fall in love all over again. OR, it can tear some couples apart.

As I was scanning the news yesterday, this article, entitled ?5 travel relationship killers: have any ruined your vacation?? flashed up. I have had vacations ruined by various factors over the years, but my relationship with my travel companion was never one of them. It helps, I?m sure, that my travel companion has been the same person for the past 16 years. If you can live with someone for that long, surely you can survive any kind of situation a vacation throws at you.

If I reach back into fog that is my distant memory ? the one before my husband came into the picture ? however, I can see how traveling with the wrong person could make a dream vacation a nightmare.

The article lists five major problems couples can face …

When applying for a passport for a child, it doesn't matter who the biological parents of the child are, it matters who currently has custody of the child. This is to keep a parent who has lost custody from getting a passport and taking their child out of the country.

If a biological parent who doesn't have custody wants a passport for a child, they must appear with a notarized letter of consent from the person with custody.
