Do 'I'm on vacation' posts pose security concerns?
From loyal reader Meredith

Cruising for the Committmentphobe
I have never been on a cruise. I will eventually and the cruise companies are targeting young folks like me who have never been. Shorter cruises with more activities geared toward a younger crowd. When you get on board make sure you have drinks and dinner with the Captain and hum the theme to the 'Love Boat' as you read this article.
Plane Legroom is Shrinking, so use SeatExpert to pick your seat
Airlines are hurting and to maximize the revenue per flight, they are packing in more seats. More seats means less room for each seat. SeatGuru and others help you pick the best seat.
