Mention flatulence or intestinal gas, and you’re bound to get a chuckle. But for more than 44 million
Americans, it is a serious concern. The odor associated with excessive flatulence can be so embarrassing
that it prevents people from traveling and enjoying normal social interactions.

Rio de Janeiro – One of the World’s Most Beautiful Cities
Rio de Janeiro is my favorite city in the world. The main thing I am impressed with is
the natural beauty of one of the world's largest cities. I call the "Urban Jungle,"
which I suppose has a double entendre. One of my friends lives in an area just past
Ipanema called Leblon. He walks down the street his apartment is on to get to the
beach. It's about a five block walk. Meanwhile, although there are highrises and
busy streets and restaurants and shops, it's in the middle of a jungle. Somehow,
this factor ...

California Dreamin’ – Hotel Santa Barbara
Nestled nicely between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains is the 101 Freeway, known primarily for its scenic route along the California coastline.
It's dark, about midnight to be exact. The darkness blankets the sea's rippling waves and little puffy clouds that dot the sky like little gray cotton balls between the stars. They're low enough for me to see them flowing backwards as I drive onward to the famous town of Santa Barbara, California.
I use the word famous because many Hollywood stars ...
Hilton Comfort On a Long Beach
The Long Beach Airport has to be the funkiest airport on the West Coast. There is still no jet way - you climb down stairs like in newsreels. The baggage carousel is outside and the bag waiting passengers sit under an awning of canvas. The quirky airport was completed just in time for the 1942 World War II movie and it has changed little since the 40s. It has expanded out a little, and it now serves as the West Coast hub for JetBlue airlines.
The airport is so laid back it reminds me of the airport in St. Kitts, in the
Caribbean. On a wall board outside the lobby is a bank of telephones ...

you can see the ocean. "We wanted to bring everything Caribbean...
