Each zodiac sign is assigned both positive and negative characteristics. Among the "worst" we can name malice, vindictiveness, and inability to forgive.

The bar you're most comfortable at may be the best bar in America, and USA Today is helping curate community establishments for visiting and local imbibers alike. The nationwide paper just debuted its list of the best bars in America for 2024, naming 27 spots that may not appear on other lists.

7 Costco Items To Buy for Your Carry-On Luggage

The TSA doesn’t technically seize items. Their job is to identify prohibited items and inform you that they can’t pass through security in your carry-on. You have options: surrender the item, check your bag, or take the item back to your car or give it to someone not traveling. For example, if you have a shampoo bottle over the liquid limit, you’ll need to surrender it to board your flight.

What Does the TSA Do with Confiscated Items?

In 2023, hotels worldwide experienced a full-blown bed bug epidemic, with Paris hit particularly hard. While the crisis has subsided since then, we have learned a valuable lesson: when you check into a hotel room, don’t put your luggage on the bed. Instead, place it in the bathtub, entryway, or any space away from the bed and carpet, which may harbor bed bugs. We will also leave a note for housekeeping to make sure our luggage stays put, preventing it from being moved to potentially infested areas like carpets and mattresses.
