- A RECORD 63.5 MILLION U.S. TRAVELERS ventured abroad in 2005, according to figures released last week by the U.S. Office of Tourism & Travel Industries. The majority of U.S. international travel growth occurred in the overseas and Mexican markets, both posting gains of approximately 5 percent over the prior year, with travel to overseas markets hitting an all-time high of 28.8 million passengers. In contrast, however, travel to Canada registered a near 5 percent drop. SOURCE: www.businesstravelerusa.com/bte
- Hot Laptops Unwelcome Onboard: IN THE WAKE OF RECALLS OF SOME APPLE AND DELL LAPTOP BATTERIES, SOME AIRLINES have banned the offending Sony batteries from being brought onboard flights. Virgin Atlantic Airways, for example, has instituted a ban on all Apple and Dell laptops. Virgin passengers can still use the laptops onboard, but only in Upper Class and Premium Economy where the devices can be plugged into available outlets. If you own an Apple or Dell laptop, check with the manufacturer to make sure your battery is not one on recall and make sure you pack your power cord next time you travel.

- Good news for cruisers: Congress has delayed a new rule
that required Americans re-entering the USA by sea to have passports for all
international voyages starting in January. Under heavy pressure from the travel
industry, which feared a slowdown in bookings, Congress voted to push back the
deadline as far as 2009. SOURCE: USATODAY
- For now, Americans sailing to foreign destinations only
need government-issued identification such as a driver's license or a birth
certificate to re-enter the United States. The change doesn't affect Americans
traveling by air, who must begin carrying passports to all international
destinations on Jan. 8, including places in the Caribbean and Canada where until
now it hasn't been necessary. SOURCE: USATODAY
