7/17/2019 3:43:37 PM At this point in 2019, nearly every credit card terminal in the US is set up to read both chip and contactless.

7/18/2019 7:29:01 PM If we assume that you will have to pass through immigration for some reason (which you may not actually have to do) and that Qatari immigration officers want departing foreigners to show the same passport they used when they entered (which is probably the case), the question boils down to this: Do […]

Where would be the optimal place to watch the Nov 2012 Solar Eclipse from?

8/16/2012 5:41:07 AM The place being advertised as the best location is Oak Beach. It’s also the starting point of the Solar Eclipse Marathon.

Can I visit the castles/fortresses in the mountains around Turin, Northern Italy?

5/28/2013 4:56:52 PM In addition to the good suggestions you already received I’d like to add: Forte di Bramafam: built between 1874 and 1889 it’s one of the greatest fortifications of that period.
