"I am planning either a trip to Tokyo or Switzerland, where my husband’s family is from. I won’t stop traveling. My boss just returned from a three-week trip to Bhutan (a small Himalayan kingdom) that she booked a year ago and wasn’t about to cancel. The country only has two commercial planes."

"No, not in the next few months. However, I have no problem with traveling at the current time. I just got back from a trade show in Las Vegas. Airport security was tighter, and attendance was down, but apart from that, things were pretty much normal."

"I am going to see my son in New York City, probably in February or March. The terrorist incidents are not going to change my lifestyle. Also, I am going to Hawaii soon on business."
