Globetrotting through the friendly skies with your favorite, most sturdy suitcase might seem sensible to many seasoned frequent flyers. 

But a former flight attendant is now warning that making this common mistake is a sure-fire way for your goodies to go missing.

With the exception of bears, there is perhaps no creature that gets more press when it attacks humans than sharks. We have weeks dedicated to them on television, movie franchises where each sequel is worse than the last, and countless social media videos giving sharks more attention than they probably ever wanted. For beachgoers in Hawaii, it's always at the back of their mind, even if shark attacks are ultimately rare. But it may be a little more in mind in Maui, where there are more attacks than anywhere else in Hawaii.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough.

Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

When vacation time calls, you may want to head to a beach destination like the Caribbean, visit a fun water park, or take a walk to the neighborhood pool. It also means it's important to think about safety. You may already know that it's dangerous to dig holes in the sand because they can collapse, or that you should keep an eye out for sharks, but were you aware that your bathing suit color choice could affect your safety? As it turns out, neon colors like oranges and yellows, and bright and contrasting colors like reds show up better than blues, grays, greens, and whites.

Avid travelers know that there is some speculation about what seat is truly the most elite on any given plane. Varying types of fliers may be biased as to what the best seat is in the first place. Budget or comfort fliers can have vastly different preferences. The response to that question can even be impacted by where travelers are from.

No, pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness don’t fold into caskets. It’s a question a reader posed one of the first times I wrote about pallet shelters. I find the pallet shelters to be more palatable than ice fishing tents. The Colorado Village Collaborative operates both micro-communities and the so-called Safe Outdoor Spaces with the tents. We all learned the tents are not safe when a fire roared through a CVC Safe Outdoor Space, destroying the compound quickly. Officials never disclosed a cause of the fire.
