POPSTravel Advice: How to Make a First Class Sandwich Fennel: The minute lettuce touches something oily, like mayonnaise, it wilts. Fresh, thinly sliced fennel makes for a terrific alternative--its crunch doesn't sag with time. Cucumbers work well too, but they can be watery, so make sure your bread is crusty. Paper: Wrap the sandwich in light, thin paper--the kind used in delis--and slice it in half. Then wrap it in wax or butcher paper, which will keep moisture inside. The outer layer can be used as a makeshift plate. A tasty alternative to consider whether or not an airline provides food service.

POPSOne Bag: Learn to Travel Light I used pack way too many bags and suffered for it in terms of time, energy and frustration. Travel is even more of joy now that I've learn how to live out of one bag.

POPSDiscovery and Restoration at Egypt's Colossi of Memnon It is planned that five years from now the statues of Sekhmet the lion-headed goddess will stand again. When the two 15-metre red quartz colossi of Amenhotep become upright again in 2009 Tiya's statue will once again stand next to those of her spouse. The two other giant statues that have been uncovered are not yet ready to reclaim their place alongside the others, however. They are made of alabaster and extremely rare because of the material's fragility. Unlike other neighbouring funerary temples such as the Ramasseum, dedicated to Ramses II, and Ramses III's temple at Medinat Habu, "we will be able to admire the temple's content, not only its skeleton," said Sourouzian.

POPSAbout the London Review of Breakfasts The "full English" refers not to our technological, cultural or military achievements. No: we live in a country where the 'full us' proudly refers to the first meal of the day. And yet here, in that country's capital, there seem to be (far) more bad breakfast opportunities than good ones: Cafe Euro Med in Kentish Town, the Bishop in East Dulwich and Mac Bar in Camden, to name but a few recent crying failures. And so we bring you a new champion: the London Review of Breakfasts. Because we've had enoeuf. Malcolm Eggs, Site Editor August 2005

POPSBan on U.S. travel to Cuba may be lifted Of course, it has always been possible for Americans to travel to Cuba via Mexico without detection as the Mexican and Cuba immigration services do not stamp U.S. passports on that route.

POPSLearn to speak Italian I practiced along with this podcast in preparation for a trip to Italy. I am not yet fluent, however, learning key phrases helped me to communicate with Italians whom I found were very forgiving when I mangled their language. In fact, my attempts were often appreciated. The podcast hosts are native Italians.

POPSAirline Regulations We Need Now 8. If a passenger buys a non-refundable ticket, and said passenger dies or becomes too ill to ever travel again, passenger’s fare must be refunded in full within 30 days, and all traveling companions must also have their fares refunded. What else should we add to the list? Now be reasonable! And add your comments below. 45% of Airfare Watchdog's readers voted for regulation. 52% said no thanks and AW is guessing that the prospect of higher fares is the reason. Higher fares vs Passenger rights?
