Canary Riverside
Don’t miss Canary Wharf during your London visit. From Bond Street in central London, you will reach Canary Wharf’s tube station in 18 minutes. From London Bridge, the travel time is only eight minutes. Step off at Canary Wharf and admire all the high buildings. It’s not strange that this area is called London’s mini Manhattan.

I’ve never been diving - but it sounds like so much fun - especially if the water is warm. I was researching an article about Grand Cayman and thought the warm blue waters looked so inviting. I found some really informative websites that tell about the different areas to dive on Grand Cayman.

Ask anyone in the travel biz - Kenya is a premiere destination.
Hiking. Safari. Sultry coast. Epic sex.
Okay, so that last one isn’t exactly advertised in the brochures, but it’s true - there’s a trend (dontcha know!) in middle-aged western women traveling to the country’s beach resorts to take up with randy local lads in the market for a new pair of shades.

I’m not gonna lie. I saw this virtual laser keyboard on an episode of CSI. Being a bit of a computer technology junkie, my jaw dropped. From the moment I saw it I was amazed. This virtual laser keyboard is perfect for business travelers, travel writers, and other people who need a portable keyboard.
Slighty larger than a zippo lighter, the virtual laser keyboard is easily portable and a great addition to any portable office. The virtual laser keyboard can be connected to Smartphones, Blackberrys, PDA, PCs, and Macs.
The virtual laser keyboard projects a full size keyboard onto any surface. It works by using optical technology to recognize which key you hit based on the interuption of the laser. The coolest part about the virtual laser keyboard, it comes complete with real “clicking” keyboard sounds! The bad part, it costs up words of $170.
