Are you planning to rent a house for a family vacation? Ever wonder what the neighborhood is like or, even worse, if there are any sex offenders living nearby? Well, thanks to FamilyWatchDog.us you can find out. All you have to do is enter an address and FamilyWatchDog shows registered sex offenders in detail, including the criminal’s mug shot, their address and a description of his or her crime. You have to love technology – except of course, if you’re a sex offender.
When I am preparing for travel to international destinations, one of the first websites I check out is the
U.S. Department of State’s Foreign Entry Requirements page. Although, it hasn’t been updated since December, 2005 (is that pathetic or what?) it still has a good listing of what’s required for U.S. citizens traveling to foreign countries for work or vacation. I also always check out the country’s embassy webpage as well, which is listed on this website. Be sure to find out what’s required well in advance because entry to some countries requires visas, immunizations, medical insurance, and/or your passport needs to be six months or more before its expiration.
