Salazon organic dark chocolate bars; $4; www.salazonchoc.com/products/organic-dark-chocolate-with-sea-salt-organic-turbinado-cane-sugar

Here’s a sweet deal: Eat chocolate without the guilt, because a good chunk of the proceeds goes to helping maintain the Pacific Crest Trail. Another sweet thing: The bar is infused with organic turbinado cane sugar from Paraguay, making it less bitter than most dark chocolate confections. PCT employees, by the way, have been stopping hikers on the trail to give out free samples.

Traveler’s survey:


Wi-Fi over bathroom

www.multivu.com/mnr/62726-honeywell-aero-space-connectivity-survey-2013

Honeywell Aerospace polled American travelers, asking how important Wi-Fi access is on airplanes. Answer: Darn important. According to the survey, 54 percent of passengers “wouldn’t be able to go five hours without Wi-Fi access.” Speaking of “going,” the survey also showed that 13 percent of passengers would refrain from going to the bathroom for an entire flight if it meant they had Wi-Fi access. People, ever heard of unplugging?

Back in the day (the day being 1919), there were no computers for scrolling through pictures of hotel rooms, choosing the most coveted one and then booking it.

And gas-powered motor cars weren't that far removed from their "horseless carriage" days.
