A recent string of legal U.S. residents being detained or deported following information found on their cell phones is worrying some travelers they'll be stopped when traveling through the country's border. Earlier this month, Lebanese physician and assistant professor at Brown University Rasha Alawieh was flagged at Boston Logan International Airport by U.S. Customs and Border Protection. She was returning from visiting family back home when officers found photos and videos on her cell phone pertaining to Hezbollah. Her visa was canceled, and she's been deported back to Lebanon.

A growing number of legal U.S. residents and visa holders are being detained or deported after border agents inspect their phones and social media.

Many markets sit on the banks – or are within easy reach – of the Danube and the Rhine (plus its tributaries) which are the mainstays of such seasonal voyages; although the Elbe and the Seine also unlock atmospheric alternatives. Over the past decade or so, more companies have cottoned on to this trend, adding themed voyages and ensuring their ships brim with winter bonhomie thanks to lavish decorations of Christmas trees and gingerbread houses, along with lashings of tinsel, wreaths and garlands that ensure the yuletide spirit flows.

There’s no mistaking the twinkling lights and aromatic scent of glühwein that signals the start of Christmas market season. Nothing beats the enchanting feel of rekindled childhood memories that these markets evoke; from the enticing assortment of goodies on sale (wooden decorations, brightly col...

AT&T and Verizon have recently announced new phone plans specifically for cruisers. It’s a well-known fact that using your mobile phone on a cruise ship can be a big – and costly – mistake. Of course, modern smartphones and satellite internet packages have made it easier to keep in touch while remaining in airplane mode. For example, when I’m cruising solo, I stay in touch with my family by calling through Facebook Messenger, and my phone gives me the ability to make and receive calls via WiFi.

An estimated one million "snowbirds," primarily from Canada and the rest of the United States, will migrate to Florida in the colder months, boosting its population by five percent. These are usually older adults and retirees searching to escape the grip of winter in their home states and soak up some Vitamin D on one of the many sun-drenched beaches of Florida. And according to a recent report, Cape Coral's warm climate and wide range of outdoor recreation make it the best destination for this. Retirement Living.com analyzed 100 American cities for three main indicators: climate, affordability, and community, and ranked the top 25 of them, where seniors can wait out the winter.

Living the rest of your life on a cruise ship seems like the dream of the ultra-rich. You wake up every morning and have an all-you-can-eat breakfast. Spend the afternoon hanging out by the pool or touring a fantastic city such as Rome or Dubrovnik. At night, have a drink in the lounge watching a comedian or a jazz band, then hit the sack and do it all over again the next day. Seems too good to be true for the average person, right? Think again.

The all-expenses-paid life may not be as expensive as you'd think.
