The Calm Is Over: Cancun Airport Rebounds To Over 500 Flights In A Single Day
Text
Go Carry On Only If You Can If you can manage to fit your swimsuits and flip flops into a single carry on bag, absolutely do it. During these massive peak travel weekends, the wait times at the baggage claim carousels can easily swell to over forty minutes. When you just spent four hours on a cramped airplane, the absolute last thing you want to do is stand around a crowded luggage belt while everyone else is already heading to the beach.
Traveling light saves you a massive amount of time at the airport.

Most of us are familiar with the urge to pick up a seashell from the beach or keep a stone from a hiking trip. The object itself may be ordinary, but to the person who keeps it, it serves as a reminder of a particular moment, place or person. Where did this behavior come from? Did early humans do the same?
A new study by Tel Aviv University researchers suggests that this practice stretches back approximately half a million years, with important consequences for the evolution of memory.
