If you’re an adventurous traveler, you’re likely looking forward to the wide array of activities that summer vacations have to offer. At the top of this list? Snorkeling. But especially in a post-Covid era when our awareness of health is at an all-time high, it’s certainly not preferable to rent a snorkel set that has already been used by travelers in the past. Plus, you don’t want to waste precious vacation time hunting down where you can purchase a snorkel set ahead of your beach day.

Once again, Amazon has come to the rescue with the perfect, packable solution: the Zeeporte Snorkel Set. Currently on sale for 39 percent off at Amazon, this lightweight kit will allow

The 49ers will travel more miles than all but 1 team this season

The 49ers’ schedule isn’t out yet, but based on their opponents we can already determine that their travel schedule could be a rough one. A chart posted by ESPN’s Adam Schefter shows San Francisco is slated to travel 29,958 miles this season, which is the second-highest number in the NFL behind the Seahawks.

It’s not a huge shock that teams on the coast tend to travel more miles. For the 49ers though they have an unusually robust travel schedule this year thanks to the schedule rotation and their first-place finish in the NFC West last year.

Here’s a look at the full chart via Schefter:

On the 49ers’ schedule are the four NFC East teams, of which they’ll travel to Philadelphia and Washington. They also face the AFC North and travel to Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Thanks to their first-place finish they’ll also head to Minnesota (the NFC North winner) and

Shoutenguide: Tokyo’s Best Shopping Streets

What department stores are for rich housewives, shoutengai (shopping streets) are for communities. Bustling hubs of activity, there are over 2,400 in Tokyo alone. Tokyo Weekends has visited many and picked our favorite retro shopping arcades and streets. Every shoutengai on our list has over 100 shops, making it worth a trip.

They all hark back to the good old days, when the Japanese economy was booming enough to put large, well-built signs and funky streetlights every couple of meters. Take Musashi Koyama Shopping Street Palm, for example: not only does it have a completely retractable roof, but it’s also twinned with an incredibly popular shopping arcade in Milan.

Pearson Airport turns to bolstered staffing, tech improvements to reduce travel chaos – Business News

The Canadian Press – | Stories: 425604

The Greater Toronto Airports Authority says it’s well-prepared for the summer travel season at Toronto Pearson International Airport thanks to bolstered staffing and technological improvements following widespread delays and cancellations that travelers experienced last year.

The airport authority says it has hired 130 new staff to help handle critical areas such as busing, baggage handling and terminal operations.

It has also streamlined its contactless check-in and boarding processes through a new partnership with the Canada Border Services Agency to deploy biometric e-gates and expedite customs clearance for travelers.

Meanwhile, an upgraded baggage system relying on AI technology is designed to anticipate overloading and detect potential breakdowns before they occur.

The authority says it will gather data to hold airlines accountable on proper training and staffing availability when handling baggage, with the goal of

Craig Mod: Shining a Light on the Mundane

Craig Mod has been a resident of Japan for over 20 years, writer and photographer for almost as long and a walker for longer. He chooses traveling on foot over trains and pizza toast over (nearly) everything. This all comes together in his book Kissa by Kissa, a fantastic read that I first came across in a tiny kissaten (Japanese-style café) in Hakodate, Hokkaido. And as it turned out, it was placed there by the man himself.

Mod and I dialed in on a Monday morning and spoke about everything from walking to membership programs to the Iwate city of Morioka.

Unconventional Living Through Special Projects

Mod, an accomplished author and writer with bylines in The New York Times, Eaters and The Atlantic, has a candid writing style that reads like a letter from a friend. Filled with observations and anecdotes, his writings bring stories to the

Pearson airport boss promises summer travel season will be ‘better’ than last year

A year after delays at Canada’s busiest travel hub made international headlines, the airport’s top boss promised this summer would be different.

“The anxiety, the uncertainty, the frustration, and the lack of control that was felt by passengers last year is one we will never forget,” Greater Toronto Airports Authority (GTAA) President and CEO Deborah Flint said Monday.

“We want Torontonians, Ontarians, and Canadians, and travelers from around the world to know that this summer will be very different and better than summer 2022.”

Staffing will be key to delivering on that promise, Flint said.

This year, there are 10,000 more employees at Toronto Pearson International Airport, which brings the total number of workers to 50,000. Of those new employees, Flint said 130 would be dedicated to busing, baggage handling, and terminal operations.

Baggage systems at the airport, which caused headaches for many passengers last summer, are also now “more

Lice at Hotel Testicle – The Comedic Writings of Hiraga Gennai

In the mid-18th century, Edo (modern-day Tokyo) had over 1 million inhabitants, making it the largest city in the world. That didn’t make it the best place to live, though. The city was constantly plagued by fires, famines and plagues, forcing the citizens of Japan’s capital to find joy wherever they could. So, they overwhelmingly went looking for it in books. High literacy among Edo commoners in the 1700s created a market for mass production of literature and, with it, the country’s first bestselling author: Hiraga Gennai, also known as Japan’s Leonardo da Vinci — that is, if da Vinci enjoyed puns and fart jokes.

Driver George Alvarez yelled anti-migrant insults, says witness

A witness to the car crash that killed eight people outside a migrant shelter in Texas says the driver made anti-immigrant remarks before he was detained by members of the public.

Suspect George Alvarez, 34, has been charged with eight counts of manslaughter and 10 counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after Sunday morning’s incident.

Police say they are still investigating whether the crash was intentional as well as the driver’s alleged remarks.

Earlier police revealed that Mr Alvarez has a lengthy criminal history, including multiple assault charges.

And shocking security camera footage shared by Texas congressman Henry Cuellar showed the moment a grey Ranger Rover, travelling along North Minnesota Avenue towards Boca Chica Boulevard, smashed into the crowd outside of the city’s Bishop Enrique San Pedro Ozanam Center.

The Venezuelan government has called for an investigation to determine if the crash was deliberate and motivated by hate

WestJet pilots picket ahead of possible strike next week

The risk of travel chaos is starting to look like a sure thing as Canadians make plans to take the skies this Victoria Day long weekend.

On top of staff shortages, one of Canada’s major airlines is now on the edge of a labor dispute. More than 300 WestJet pilots stood outside Terminal 3 at Pearson International Airport this afternoon, with similar pickets happening in Calgary and Vancouver ahead of a possible strike next week.

Pilots say they are sick of poor treatment, poor pay and the high turnover rate of staff with WestJet.

“We are ready to take legal strike action – or be locked out at that point – but we are still hoping to reach a deal,” Capt. Chris Tholl, a WestJet pilot, told CTV National News.

Air Line Pilots Association (ALPA), the union representing the striking workers, says pilots are leaving at an incredible rate, stating

What’s a trilogy lab diamond engagement ring

A trilogy ring is a kind of engagement ring that options three stones, often diamonds. The three stones are sometimes set in a row, and they are often of equal measurement or with the centre stone barely bigger. Trilogy rings are sometimes seen as an emblem of the previous, current, and future, and they could be a lovely and significant alternative for a man made diamond engagement ring.

Listed below are a number of the the explanation why it’s best to take into account getting a trilogy ring:

  • It’s a timeless and traditional design. Trilogy rings have been round for hundreds of years, and they’re nonetheless simply as standard right now. They’re a traditional alternative that may by no means exit of fashion.
  • It’s a image of your love. The three stones in a trilogy ring symbolize the previous, current, and way forward for your love. It’s a lovely approach
