Here is a list of interesting news and travel related websites to peruse this weekend:

Onebag:
www.onebag.com - The ultimate guide to packing light. If you find that you are always lugging around too many suitcases and bags on your trip, this is the site for you. Covers everything from what kind of luggage bag you should get, key items to pack, and how exactly to pack everything in. Going to go out on a limb here and say that this is probably the most thorough guide to travel packing available in the history of mankind.

America's Best Bathroom:
http://www.bestrestroom.com/vote.php - Can't wait until November's presidential election and want to get your voting skills in shape? Vote for America's Best Restroom. While clearly a PR stunt to promote Cintas restroom cleaning services, there are some really interesting and novel looking restrooms here. It's too bad the photos aren't bigger, but my favorite is probably Brio Restaurant's heaven and hell theme.

Afghanistan: 40 years later
http://www.pbase.com/qleap/image/83230527 - Stunning photo comparing Paghman Gardens in 1967 to 2007. Hard to believe that it is the same place. Even if the original photo is highly glamorized, it's hard to ignore the shocking lack of trees and plant life in the latter photo.
