Travel articles Picture Riding the US Rails If you had to carry back liquids and gels in any appreciable volume after the holidays, you might have decided packing for complicated airport rules was a major drag....

Disney's Coronado Springs A moderately-priced resort near Disney's Animal Kingdom, the Coronado Springs Resort is inspired by the Southwest. Although it has the largest convention center on Disney property, this resort is also great for families with its beautiful grounds and water slide. The resort also boasts a large man-made lake around which the guest accomodations are situated. This can make for some long walks, depending on where you are staying, so be prepared. Who Wants a Pleistocene-Era Backyard? While casting about for feel-good stories, we remembered the lost and starving Magellanic penguins that were airlifted to safety by the Brazilian army last fall. The young penguins, whose home is in the southern Atlantic, had wandered too far north, washing up on the warm beaches of Brazil by the hundreds, and the situation looked grim when "animal-welfare activists loaded the birds onto a Brazilian air force cargo plane and flew them 1,550 miles to the country's southern coast, where a crowd of onlookers celebrated as the penguins marched back into the sea." Definite feel-good material.
