Tips & Bits Personal Fitness Studio Traveling to a place where gyms are scarce? That’s not a good excuse any more for not exercising. The TravelTrainer is a complete portable exercise kit that includes an inflatable stability ball and pump, anti-snap resistance bands with detachable handles, an exercise mat and a CD with more than 50 exercises. And it all comes in a mesh case that fits snuggly in standard 22” carry-on luggage. Just put the CD in your laptop, pull out your exercise kit and you’ll be able to keep fit on the road. Available at www.travtrainer.com for $89.98.
Don’t Check Lithium Batteries New U.S. government regulations implemented this year prohibit passengers from carrying spare lithium batteries in checked baggage – that is, the baggage you give to the airline for handling. You may pack them in carry-on baggage. For personal use, there is generally no restriction on the number of spare batteries allowed in carry-on baggage. That includes cell phone batteries, “hearing aid” button cells, and AA/AAA batteries available in retail stores, as well as almost all standard laptop computer batteries. However, you may carry no more than two larger batteries, in the range of 100 – 300 watt hour rating. These include some extended life laptop computer batteries, such as the “universal” lithium ion battery. Passengers going through security may be required to remove all electronic devices for inspection. So allow some extra time to clear security, at least until everyone gets used to the new regulation. For more information visit the US Department of Travel Safe Travel site here. ...More Recent Articles |
