Visiting New Zealand? Their Government Will Need You Phone Password.
Was flying home from Germany on Saturday. At departure area I had to have all my bags rescreened. Security guy picked my phone out of the tray and asked if it was mine (well. duh it's with all my stuff). He then asked if there was a passcode on it. I said, "yes, company phone with mandatory passcode". He just said "ok" and put it back in the tray. I was a ready for next question but it never came....

Car Rental Overseas
My rental in Ireland was some VW Golf type thing through Hertz. Picked it up at the Cork airport. It had some anti-collision device on it that just decided to engage on the road to Dingle - just locked up the wheels in the middle of no where. It eventually reset and released. POS car. The best rentals I saw had Eurocar stickers on them. If I got back, I'll rent from them.

Earl Thomas holding out
Earl Thomas in a leg cast will be better than anything Texans currently have in the D backfield. I say Texans should sign him and play him.

Car Rental Overseas
Actually....call your credit card company and tell them you plan to rent a car in Ireland. Mine, chase sapphire, then sent me a letter I had to show at rental car counter proving I had coverage through my card. I could then decline their coverages. However, I think there was one coverage the card didnāt cover and I had to accept/pay for that, but chase explained all that in the letter they sent.
