    Great trip postcards! Not sure dogs in the luggage area would be quite that happy though - especially since they'd usually be 'crated'.

    Humor about travel and tourists hasn't changed much. Same jokes but with different fashions.

    In regard to your problem with commenting as anonymous, I had a similar issue a few months ago. Google gets confused sometimes and your browser cache needs to be cleared of cookies, etc. It means having to logon again to your regular websites, but it reestablishes your identity. A work-around is to use another browser. Whenever I have this problem on Firefox, I switch to Chrome and everything works fine.
