...chaos has affected travelers in the Asia-Pacific region too. Monica Rouse, an Australian fashion designer living in London, had plans to return to Sydney Thursday morning on Qantas, the Australian carrier, to secure important documents for her British work visa. She received a text message that her flight was canceled but says Qantas is ill prepared to deal with the volume of complaints. "When I called, the girl could only tell me, 'You're not leaving today,' " she says. "If we don't call you in four hours, call us back...
...write off Aceh yet. Thanks largely to four weekly flights from Kuala Lumpur operated by the budget carrier AirAsia, tourists are trickling into Banda Aceh, the provincial capital, and for good reason. The city itself is leafy and slow-paced, while Acehnese people are proud, hospitable and keen to make up for years of isolation.

That worked well but didn't inspire overwhelming confidence when it too was recalled at one point because newborns could slip through the leg holes (which have since been redesigned). Eventually, a friend gave me her old ERGObaby Carrier, which has been growing in popularity and hipness quotient in the past couple of years. Its myriad adjustments (side, back, front, with merely...
...noticed that as part of the recall, Infantino is offering to replace its recalled slings with a "Wrap & Tie" infant carrier that looks a lot like an ERGO minus the buckles. Consumers who are swearing off on-the-body baby carriers can opt for a 2-in-1 shopping cart/high chair cover or an ExerSaucer-esque activity gym. The press release notes that "a Jittery Pals Rattle will also be provided." If I were to offer a bit of unsolicited marketing advice, I'd highly recommend they rename that rattle, quick...
