    I have flights to and from Athens: DC-London-Athens and Athens-Rome-DC. When do I go

    through customs each way? I assume that I go through customs at DC and Athens going out and Athens and DC returning to the United States, but please let me know if I'm wrong. Thanks for your help!

    In France, do laws explicitly outlaw taking race into account when conducting a

    national census? If so, which laws? Thanks for any information. P.S. I realize that this is "Travel," but I thought I might be more likely to find an answer in this section than in any other section.

    Continue driving my 1997 Honda Accord with 202k miles or buy a new car?

    Obviously interest rates are low, but my old Honda seems to be running pretty well, especially for a car with more than 200k. Of course, the power windows work very sloooowly now and the radio comes on and off intermittently. Other than those things, I've had normal maintenance over the years...

    For a general-use laptop, is it worth it to pay a lot more for an Apple instead of a PC?

    And how is Windows 7 compared to Vista? For all the Vista problems I hear about, I've had relatively few problems with it on my desktop over the last two-plus years. For the record, we use the computer for (1) connecting with our workplaces; (2) creating Word, PowerPoint, and Excel documents...

    Good traditional summer camp in the Maryland/DC area?

    This isn't exactly a travel question, but I'm looking for a good traditional summer camp (day camp) and live just north of the beltway outside of DC. We have an elementary school child (going into 3rd grade) who likes many activities but not (1) being indoors a lot or (2) competitive sports...
