Greetings from Hilton Head, South Carolina

I‘m in Hilton Head, South Carolina, today for our Away is Home family travel blog. Here are a few snapshots we took yesterday after we arrived. This leg of our trip winds down on Thursday, but I’m headed back to New York again next week, and will have a full report, of course.

I want to thank our underwriter Travel Insurance Review, which operates an excellent travel insurance comparison site. You can read reviews, articles, and find links to help you buy travel insurance. Travel Insurance Review helps make this site possible, so please click over and give them your business.

There’s a lot happening this morning, so I’ll get right to it. Does the EUs controversial passenger-rights law really work? Here’s a case where it didn’t. Also, what happens when your kid gets served a cocktail on a cruise ship? This happens. Oh, what a mess.

Plus:

• Who’s afraid to drive on the left-hand side? I am. Are you?

• Are TSA agents more dangerous than terrorists? I dare ask it in my weekly security feature and on the Huffington Post.

• Does Amtrak owe a refund for a derailed trip? Find out in this week’s Travel Troubleshooter.

Also, if you want better service, you absolutely have to read this week’s Mint.com column. Have a great week!

    Hi Elliott, We are here in Bluffton, on the May River. We were on HHI for 18 years, then moved over the bridge for some peace and quiet. If you want to come out to the beautiful river, you would be welcomed. Also there are some cute shops and good restaurants in Bluffton.
