Safety In Cities and Get away to Anne of Green Gables' Canada

The Daily Mail has at least three stories which grabbed my attention today.

1 Safety in hotels
The tip I picked up is pack a door stop wedge to deter intruders in hotel rooms.

2 Get away from it all to Anne of Green Gables land
Anne of Green Gables in Canada is on my wish list.
This has long been on my list of places associated with characters from history, fictional heros and heroines and authors. Others on my list:
Beatrix Potter (Lake District, UK)
Dickens (London, UK, and several other places in the UK)
Brontes (Haworth, Yorkshir, UK)
Jack London, (California, USA)
Edgar Allen Poe, (Several locations, USA)
Hemingway (USA)
R L Stevenson (Pacific Islands)
Jane Austen (Bath, UK)
Robert Burns, (Scotland, UK)

3 Budget Portable Hotels
Here it is at last. A portable hotel. Budget hotels include those built on industrial estates outside cities. But the portable version adds another dimension. Another version is Snooze box.
