Your Say -- January 15

Your Say -- January 26

Bird Flu has already affected my plans. My intention was to go to Thailand in the first week in March, but with the unknown consequences of bird flu, specifically in comparison to the enormous questions and "secrets" regarding the spread of SARS, I have been forced to consider countries outside of Southeast Asia. Bryan Senber, Chicago, Illinois

My plans have not changed at all Thailand and Vietnam are high on my To-Do list. Travel prices are really inexpensive right now. In regard to Avian Flu, I have decided to refrain from kissing any chickens while I am there. Steve Markway, Germany

Well, bird flu seems to visit this region every winter. In this region humans get sick and birds get sick too in such extreme changes of temperature. Moreover, the birds are kept in over crowded farms that encourage the spread of the virus. Erretta Chin, Malaysia

Countries like India, China have visa requirement and they do not understand why they are not happy when U.S. implies similar restrictions. No one is surprised or unhappy with the U.S. requirement of a visa. As far as India is concerned people are required to have a visa to go to U.S. from as long as I can remember. Shyam, India

I'm traveling to India on March 1. Because of the bird flu my plans have not been changed and will not. This is due to no report of an outbreak in India as of yet. But I am worried. Paul Monika, New South Wales, Australia

China's rail infrastructure is rickety -- air travel will take on the role of "method of choice" for domestic travel in the future. Mark Cummins, Stockholm, Sweden

In respect to bird flu we cannot do nothing and just stay at home! We should continuously work and live in a real world. But, everyone should take care of bird flu, more knowledge and more suitable action is necessary. David, Hong Kong

No, the bird flu will not change my plans for Asian traveling. Lage, Sundsvall, Sweden

The U.S.'s ridiculous security precautions have lost them another potential visitor. As the U.S. corrupts those around them each day, people like me seek to move to Europe or another superior location. Brian East, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

Americans traveling to Nigeria be sure to carry money you intend to exchange for local currency in $100 denominations. You will get a lower exchange rate for smaller bills. Dan Groves, Houston, Texas

My family and I rode the elevator with Bill Murray in Jamaica. That same trip, Ivana Trump thought my husband was a porter at the Miami airport because he had this silly bamboo hat on. She pulled on his hat and told him to get her luggage. It was very funny! Monica Phelps, Cincinnati, Ohio

Low-cost/no-frill airlines are the way forwards for future international travel. I used to fly Loftleidir-Icelandic airlines between the U.S. and Luxembourg for really low rates. Those days must return. Michael Joseph Matteucig, Napa, California

It's amazing for me to see how people make a big difference when traveling. Some flight attendants are really nice and generous. They always ask how to make your experience better and what else you would like to eat or drink. Others, however, try to avoid eye contact and pretend not to hear or see you. Robby Reyes, Los Angeles, California

I want consistency and low prices when I travel. I own my own small business and I travel with lots of stuff. I choose Motel6 because it is inexpensive, consistent, and I can back up my van to the door and unload in seconds. Bob Reynolds, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Flu or no flu, I am going to Thailand in August. Grover Watson, Aurora, Colorado

All the people that are deciding to travel to Vietnam and the rest of the areas affected by bird flu should not be allowed to return to the United States. Anthony Bartleson, Key West, Florida

Bird flu probably won't affect my trip to Thailand in November 2004, unless there is a significant increase in the infection rate in humans. Douglas M. Johnson, San Antonio, Texas

Bird flu will not affect my upcoming trip to Bangkok and the surrounding islands. Traveling smart and avoiding possible risky environments has always been a rule for me. If anything I am hoping to get great deals on excursions and hotels due to the health scare. Matthew L., Chicago, Illinois

We plan to travel Vietnam end of March but now we have had to cancel because of bird flu. Heidi Wolf, Milpitas, California
