Autumn is the time of year when fresh produce comes from farms, and is on colorful display in markets throughout the world. Some are small stands on the side of the road, while others are multi-street city extravaganzas that attract hordes of locals and tourists.

For more than a century, Philly has boasted of two of the nation’s most popular fresh markets. Fans of the first Rocky film remember scenes where the boxer jogs and spars through the open-air Italian Market in South Philly.

If upcoming wanderings take you to this Caribbean destination, you may want to visit some popular sites. They’re where your fave 1960s foursome made two of their most iconic movies.

More than fifty years ago, John, Paul, George and Ringo sang, swayed and celebrated their way through “A Hard Day’s Night”, and followed up with “Help”. Roam the sand and surf on Paradise Island beaches where it all took place. Do your swinging senior version of  “Ticket To Ride”, “Another Girl” and the most memorable, “Help!”

As airlines keep packing more passengers into their airborne sardine cans, the space between rows in the cheap seats section gets smaller and smaller. And when the passenger in front puts his seatback in recline position, it’s painful to those behind it, especially tall, leggy ones.

If you’re having space invasion problems while flying, check on such devices as the Knee Defender. They’re plastic, foldable and easy to apply in front of your seat. Of course, you may first politely ask that the seatback not be slammed suddenly into your vulnerable kneecaps.

Or you can be just as mean as the seatback pusher and apply the device secretly and securely when you first sit down. Then enjoy the classic scene of the pitiful pusher suffering Sisyphus struggles.

What you take to Sin City depends on what you plan to do there. If  attending a formal or semi-formal wedding at a big church or major resort, you'll have to lug a suitcase stuffed with traditional clothing. You'll need it for the ceremony, as well as for social activities involved.

For women, a dress or pants suit and shoes for dress-up events. For men, a suit and/or sports coat with trousers, shirts, ties and leather shoes. If the schedule is for more than two days and nights, consider taking another outfit.
