Big Daddy eases up

The US is opening up hand-baggage on airlines to gels and liquids, albeit in small quantities only. I guess the bad breath syndrome finally took its toll on many long haul passengers who couldn't carry toothpaste into airplanes with them. (This one company may have to change its homepage promo though)

Earlier, I mentioned how I used mapquest.com, wikimapia.org and a paper map to find my way around in the US. Well, after a really long time, I reinstalled Google Earth and tried to find my way to JFK using it.

It blew my mind. When you can see driving directions like this, you hardly need anything else. I can actually see how a road and the signs/landmarks on it look like, and that's a big help when you're trying to watch out for that sharp left turn on Exit 41!
