Q: I'm going on a cruise with my best friend. We booked an inside cabin months ago because it was the cheapest option. I've done a decent amount of research since then (yes, I know, I should have done it earlier), and I am sure I'd hate being in a windowless room for a week. I'd get claustrophobic.

Q: Why on earth do people rearrange the strollers in the stroller parking areas of amusement parks? The last time we went to Disney, we'd leave my daughter's stroller outside a ride, come back out and find it in a completely different place. It's nerve-wracking -- I kept thinking someone took it by mistake or stole it.

Q: What do you think about money belts? I wore one for six weeks straight when I was backpacking through Europe in college, but now that I'm older and will be visiting nicer places, I feel I should carry a purse. However, we'll be in Rome, and I've heard horror stories about pickpockets.

Q: I totally understand that people occasionally have to make or answer a phone call while they're waiting near an airport gate. But don't you think it's kind of inconsiderate to sit there talking on your cellphone for 30 minutes or more?

Q: Can you talk about museum etiquette?

First, how long should one stand in front of a particular painting if others are waiting to look at it? I'm thinking of, for example, Dali's "Persistence of Memory" at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

Q: I know people who earn frequent-flier status are proud of it. But enough with the showing off! I got upgraded to first class on a recent flight. There were two other guys there who obviously had also gotten upgraded, and they managed to work their status into practically everything they said.

Q: When I was on a plane recently, the woman sitting next to me fell asleep. I needed to get past her to use the restroom, but she was out cold. I tried saying, "Excuse me, ma'am, could I get by" a few times, but she just wouldn't wake up. I actually checked that she was still breathing! Simply stepping over her was not possible because she had her tray table down with a laptop on it.

Q: I work at a university and get six weeks of vacation every year. My sister's job only gives her one week. She's always saying things like, "All you ever do is go to the beach. Must be nice to have such a cushy job." My job isn't cushy; I work long hours in a biology lab. I want to go to New Zealand next summer, but I'm afraid to mention it at all because she gets so jealous.

Q: I've seen some very obese people sitting in the exit row. Is it possible to determine beforehand whether or not a person's size would make them incapable of assisting the crew? And what about people having multiple drinks in the exit row? Last night we saw several people served several beers on the plane as they celebrated their team's victory.

Q: Let's say you and a friend are seated on a train or in a waiting room -- anywhere you're allowed to choose your own seat, really. Someone sits next to you, and it's obvious he has a horrible cold. He's sneezing and coughing all over the place. Is it rude to get up and move to different seats?
