Jul 1st 2009 4:36PM This explains why the security guys at KTM tried to convince me that it was illegal to take Indian Rupees out of Nepal. I played dumb and they eventually gave up.

Misery works: airlines making money on baggage fees {Gadling}
May 15th 2009 9:36AM I hate to sound like an airline apologist, but saying that the airlines are making "extra" money is quite misleading. The airlines have simply shifted some of the price of a ticket to baggage fees. Instead of everyone on the plane paying $10-20 more for their ticket, people who choose to travel with more bags are paying $15-25 more. As someone who usually travels light, I appreciate this.
The fees also create an incentive to travel light. Weight plays a big role in how much fuel a plane burns. Less fuel = less emissions = happier environment.
So yes, the fees are annoying because they are a change from what we were used to, but in the end, they reward those of us who happen to pack light.

Gadling goes camping (win free Coleman stuff!) {Gadling}
Aug 25th 2008 11:03AM By far, my favorite camping experience is paddling the boundary waters in Canada. Going through customs on a lake, depending on nature for food (outside of the "survival" food we brough), pitch black at night, complete silence, beautiful scenery. Just awesome.
