A lawyer for the U.S. Justice Department argued at a hearing Friday against a Florida law aimed at making travel to Cuba more difficult.

Michelle Bennett told a federal magistrate in Miami that the law, which requires travel agencies to post a $250,000 bond and pay as much as $2,500 in registration fees, is unconstitutional, The Miami Herald reported.

“We’ve barely sold any Falcons since January,” said Serge Dassault, of the eponymous French manufacturer which has logged around 40 cancellations for its flagship private jet since September, around eight percent of all orders.

Chief executive Charles Edelstenne said he “would be ecstatic” if Dassault Aviation rounds out 2009 with an equal number of orders and cancellations, but predicted the year “will be much worse than …

Thinking of traveling to Hawaii? I can hardly blame you. If you’re like me, you live in a cold weather part of the world and the winter is starting to take its’ toll. Man, on a day like today where the weather is bitter cold and the snow is falling, I feel like going to an tropical location and getting my beach on.

Since I’m ready to pack my bags and travel to Hawaii, I think it’s important I look at some Hawaiian travel tips.

Hawaii Travel Tips

1) Wear your sunscreen. If you’re coming from a place that’s not all that sunny, prepare yourself for the Hawaiian sun. If you aren’t extra careful, you can be burned to a crisp. The Hawaii sun will fry an amateur.

2) Make sure to pack your summer clothes. You’ll need shorts, swim clothes, and sunglasses. Think summer, because Hawaii is the home of endless summer

3) Depending on what parts of the island you’ll visit, make sure to bring some durable, rugged clothes. There are certain tours you can take which will require rugged attire

Ahh, if only. I have no plans on going to Hawaii this week, but I am saving my pennies for the earliest possible chance.
