REAL ID is issued by your State government. Us Texans will reject this along with Our governor Abbott. He stands against this, he know the Privacy slash and slice that will happen to Texans.
And I agree with most seasoned travelers 4 wheels dont cut it. Especially in Japan where you will encounter "tenji blocks" the blind peoples yellow bumps on platforms everywhere. as well as getting on and off trains because they have a gap....in the country side of the US maybe it will work because you are going from airport to car.
The content, video and sound quality and points are well articulated in this video...kudos....BUT the plugs for the brand and YOU TUBE style Phising for likes and follows is annoying...of course it is common... but after watching so many videos in a week it gets o be tiresome...everyone knows to sunsribe and like if they want to so why tdo people repeatedly plug their channels?
It's a good question. I had pair of sunglasses years ago that did this, and it drove me crazy. I think I ended up selling that pair, but I never found a good solution to prevent it from hitting the lens.
@@TripAstute thank you for replying. I found these silicone/rubber glasses tips that are meant to secure the glasses to the wearer BUT depending on how they are installed it could also double for protecting the lens from the glasses' arms.
Another con with 2 wheels is your hand is going to be solely occupied because you need to pull the luggage, you only have 1 more hand to carry other stuff like coffee, bag or food. Pushing a 4 wheel on smooth floors like in airports gives both hands more room to hold on to other things.
Pulling a 2-wheel suitcase also takes only one hand. When you pull a suitcase it is behind you and thus out of the way. Pushing a 4-wheel bag can create an obstacle in your way. If you are walking and want to turn in the direction where the bag is, it is a slight problem. Pulling a 2-wheel bag makes you and the bag narrower to pass through crowds. This is better than walking abreast with a 4-wheel bag at your side. Single file is better than side by side, for crowds. If you try to push a 4-wheel bag in front of you it will be in the way of your feet.
It depends on how you are traveling into the US. If it's through an airport, then you will need to bring your passport book. The passport card is only meant for travel over certain ports and land crossings (e.g., US and Mexico/Canada).
Know why there are so many accents? Because going back in time most Brits would grow up and never venture more than a few miles from home in an isolated community so different accents were the product of this behaviour. Where I live there is the main road between Manchester and Liverpool. Between the two cities, just 30 miles apart, there are another three separate accents.
I was in America in May & I found that no sandwich contained butter! I know that you put it on toast & use whilst cooking, but here in England I would always use butter (as well as maybe mayonnaise or other toppings). I couldn’t even find it when shopping in Walgreens!
That's very true. It's not common to put butter in sandwiches in the US. Though I love it in the UK. Also, the availability of sandwiches and diversity of flavors is amazing in the UK.
As a Brit living in the US, I am always amused to hear how you love the British accent, when in fact every few miles in the UK has a completely different accent. I enjoyed hearing your observations.
Four-wheelers are over-all superior as a carry on for the following reasons: they are more stable when placed upright unlike the two-wheeled that's prone to tip over; you can glide them in upright position thus relieving your arm of stress with constantly dragging them behind, and this is very important on long walks; they can be maneuvered in tight spaces because the four wheels rotate 360 degrees so you can move them sideways (very important in airplane isles). They are totally very easy to move around in general because they can spin, thus, the two-wheeled carry on had lost favor among baggage users.
???? just get a 2 wheel suitcase with feet on the front lol they never tip over. Try manuvering a 4 wheel bag on a train platform in Japan, its a no go because of the blind peoples bumps called Tenji Blocks. Actually any city in europe or anywhwre really with curbs or cobble stones.
4:00 BIG CAVEAT: In New York City, right turns on red are completely banned. If you are somewhere else in the *state* of New York, you're fine. As long as you're not in the *city* of New York. Also, bonus: New York City bans honking without a good reason
Great tip! I remember when I was younger, turning right was also illegal in Las Vegas. It was definitely confusing, especially if you were coming in from California.
