As the Rugby World cup kicks in, more questions are being raised about whether there will be any relocation vehicles, or any rental vehicles available at all for that matter, and if so from where. To be honest, I really do wish I had a crystal ball (as do many other businesses I’m sure) but I don’t (otherwise I would be filthy rich and not sitting at my desk right now :)).
With an estimated 80,000 visitors said to be arriving into New Zealand for the World Cup Tournament, we can only imagine that many of them will be renting cars and campervans across the country. We don’t know however, where or when they will be arriving and leaving as many will likely use this time to travel the country.
In an event like this, you might need roadside assistance, that is why the extraordinary car towing dublin services will be a great ally in these type of situations.
What I can do, is tentatively make some guesses as to where vehicles may be headed and where they may also get stranded.
So if we look at the Rugby World Cup 2011 Match Schedule we can roughly calculate where RWC fans will be headed based on the most popular matches and teams with the largest followers (national and international visitors). Continue reading Free Rental Cars & Campervans During the Rugby World Cup
Good news for the health conscious and frequent travellers. Airports in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia, are running tests on scanners that emit no radiation.
The BBC has reported that unlike traditional scanners which emit X-rays and “active” radiation, the T8000, developed by UK-based ThruVision Systems, uses a “passive” screening technology.
ThruVision’s scanners do not “illuminate” people with X-rays, radiation or millimeter waves. Instead, they receive terahertz waves naturally produced by objects and people. When a concealed object blocks those waves, it appears as an anomaly.
The materials that can be detected by the T8000 include weapons, explosives, liquids, gels, ceramics and narcotics.
One other upside to this new technology is that it doesn’t capture or display intimate body details which have been a concern for many travellers in the past.
Other benefits include:
Rapid screening time
No need to enter into a small confined space
Although not permanently implemented yet, these scanners have had positive results; successfully spotting contraband substances on test subjects.
Bermuda is also using ThruVision while Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines are considering implementing the new scanners.

Some of the major cities in the country of Australia are quite a feat to get to and between when not taking a plane. Cairns and Darwin are both located in the northern section of the country and are two such major cities that many would like to know how to get from one to the other. It makes sense, after all, to try and hit the two when already in the northern part of the country, a far cry from Sydney and Melbourne.
Obviously, the time limited can benefit from a flight, but the other overland journeys are going to be so much more memorable.

Lucky Alice Springs? Not so sure if the locals feel that way.
ALICE Springs has been selected to be the first aircraft “boneyard” outside the US.
Functioning in the same way as Pinal Airpark in Arizona, it will cover an area of 110ha and will house 300 planes in the Northern Territory, taking planes being decommissioned from service, that have been stripped of all their parts like engines, electronics and wiring to be re-cycled.
It will also be a place where aircrafts as big as the A380 can be stored when they are not being used.
According to Alice Springs Airport general manager Katie Cooper the initiative is ‘ground-breaking’ for this part of the world, but I wonder how ground breaking the locals and environmentalists think it is.
