2/26/2013 5:52:05 PM Let me suggest a rule I learned from packing for camping that I think applies just as well to packing for business or leisure travel.

Can I get vaccinated in another country?

Can I get vaccinated in another country?

2/5/2013 2:10:14 PM Adding to the excellent answer by @MarkMayo. You might also be vaccinated at many airports just before boarding your plane.

Are body scanners mandatory at Charles de Gaulle airport?

4/24/2016 11:06:57 AM Discussing scanners at France is a moot point; as you are not scanned there – unless you left the airport and are then checking in again. I do not believe this to be case here. So really, you have no concern if there are or are not body scanners at CDG as […]
