Ask TomMy wife and I are flying to Australia in November with a two-night stopover in Bangkok. We have a full day plus a morning to look around the city. Would you please tell us which are the 'must do' things which that short time will permit two people in their late seventies to undertake. Brendan Sadler, via email Chances are you'll find Bangkok a little overpowering at first so don't try to do too much. Hail a taxi for airconditioned comfort or a tuk-tuk for an alfresco journey and get it to drop you at Santichaiprakan Park to stretch your legs.

The temple of Wat Rakhang is one of Bangkok's oldest and gets a fraction of the tourists who visit other temples. End the day in one of the many riverside restaurants. read more. Steve Scauzillo:WHENEVER there's a holiday in the future, it means more work in the present. Getting ready for Labor Day has been such a chore (see Guest View by my colleague Bill Bell) that there's been less time to "labor" over this column. Don't fret. That's why editors invented the Notes Column. Here are some tidbits that have been rattling around my brain. Feel free to leave your bits (bytes?) on my blog at stevescaz.blogspot.com In California, we have the luxury of going to either for a family day off. My wife, who grew up near the ocean, laments every day she's not a stone's throw from the raging Pacific. So, Bolsa Chica State Beach beckons. A few years ago, I brought a friend from New York there and we saw dolphins dancing in the setting sun. He still remembers that California moment. read more.

Cool tourism hot spot raises scientists' temperaturesAs a huge new cruise ship sets sail for Antarctica, environmentalists and scientists raise concerns about the impact on the region, writes Andrew Darby. IT HAS the largest casino afloat, four pools and a nightclub and next year the Golden Princess will be the first megaliner to sail to Antarctica, taking thousands with it. But some managers of Antarctica and environmentalists are alarmed by the 109,000-tonne ship's scheduled journey. They say this scale of demand for the cool new destination is beyond any capacity to deal with a crisis. As they enjoy the luxury of a modern cruising giant, perhaps from one of 710 staterooms with private balconies, Golden Princess passengers are scheduled to pass a list of favourite Antarctic Peninsula sights, including Elephant and Deception Islands and Argentina's Esperanza Station. read more.A great deal of searching has been spent learning the research that we are giving to you.
