Hotels in Hawaii are pampering their guests, including the four-legged variety. A growing number of tourists want to bring Fido along for a trip to the islands.

The Kahala, one of Oahu’s most luxurious hotels, gives its tail-wagging guests fresh-baked biscuits, with their names inscribed on the top.

The hotel also offers dog-walking and pet pillows alongside the guest beds. The Sheraton Princess and Four Seasons Resort Maui are among other upscale hotels which also offer the lush life to small critters.

You think airport security checks and the delays that it causes are bad here in North America? Well, apparently a 66 year old German tourist, visiting the Philippines, thought their stringent security was pretty bad.

The man was so annoyed and frustrated with security at the Manila airport that he dropped his pants before walking through an X-ray machine. The Philippine authorities were not amused.

Rather than boarding his intended flight to Frankfurt the man was detained. Police filed a complaint of lasciviousness against him.

Now this is odd, Hans Monderman, a Dutch transportation planner is pushing his innovative plans for improving traffic.

Would you like to know what proprosals he’s made? Glad you asked. His proposals include eliminating traffic signs and street markings, which he thinks will force drivers to be careful as they hunt for their destinations, and building children’s playgrounds in median strips of roads, figuring that drivers would surely slow down.

Hans - you haven’t been taking your medications have you? Kids playing in the medians? No traffic signs? Hello? People have a hard enough time driving and not getting into problems with traffic signs. Plus- what wouldn’t that confuse tourists and out of towners even more?

What do you think of this proprosal?
