A visitor accidentally damaged a Picasso painting at the Met in New York.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art says a Picasso painting accidentally damaged by a visitor will be repaired in time for its exhibition of the artist's works in April.

The Actor, a painting from Picasso's rose period, has a 6-inch tear in the canvas' lower right-hand corner. The museum said a woman lost her balance and fell on the painting Friday afternoon. She was participating in an art class at the time.

Many high end hotels have wifi, but you have to pay, usually around 25 USD a day, that's a lot.  But sometimes Wifi is free for the hotel's best customers.

More business travelers are getting what they say they want most from hotels: free Internet access in their rooms.

Corporate business travel managers are taking advantage of the downturn in travel to negotiate the prized service, says DeAnne Dale, a sales executive at online business travel management firm Travelocity Business.

They're also getting free service from big hotel groups such as Hilton, Marriott and Starwood. And they're getting it at the same time the chains say they're not changing their policies and will continue to charge guests from $9.95 to $14.95 a day for Wi-Fi.

Traveling in Paris can be expensive but here's a way to do it cheaply.

On our most recent trip to Paris, in May ’09, my husband, David, and I decided to put to the test all the articles we had read about free things to do in the city. We had never found Paris to be particularly easy on the wallet, and on this trip we were really pinching pennies.

Travel insurance is one of those things that seems like a waste of money until you need it, and then it is priceless, after all, it is insurance for a reason.  Read more here.

“Travel insurance can’t protect you everywhere in this dangerous world. You need to check out your destination — and don’t take anything for granted — to verify if Travel Warnings have been issued against it by your government. If they have, your insurance may be invalid or severely restricted.

While it is cold most everywhere, the Barbados are sunny and warm.  Instead of sitting on a beach, try out polo for a different experience.

Polo in Barbados dates back to as early as 1884, although the Polo Club was suspended from 1929 until 1939, when the Barbados Polo Club was resurrected at the Garrison Savannah. In 1965 polo moved to the club at Holders, St. James. Since then Barbados Polo has gone from strength to strength with the addition of three new fields and a very interesting future.

Traveling by bike can be the best way to see an area.  The area in north Vietnam is mountainous, but rewarding.  Read more about the Sapa region here.

In colonial days, the mountains surrounding Sapa were known as the Tonkinese Alp for the quasi-European climate, with the town functioning as a former hill station, built by the French as a retreat from the heat for vacationing military officers. It is also home to Vietnam’s highest peak, Mount Fansipan, which towers above the town at a height of 3,143 metres.

For an all inclusive information source about skiing in Vermont, where would you go, Ski Vermont.com of course.  Read more here about this exciting destination.

America's original ski state is excited to welcome you to the world of skiing and riding. Vermont's Alpine resorts have something to offer everyone from the expert skier to the beginner. Vermont IS big-mountain skiing with great snow, fabulous terrain and more ski resorts with at least 2000 feet of vertical-more than Maine, New Hampshire and New York combined!

We are in the heart of snow season and deals abound, but check on the following for the 20 best resorts in America.  Here's number 20.

20. Smuggler's Notch, Vermont

Smuggler's Notch is a beautiful resort in Jeffersonville, Vermont. It is made up of three separate mountains: Morse, Madonna, and Sterling Mountains. In fact, it gets its name from a narrow mountain pass, or notch, that runs adjacent to the Sterling Mountain. Often, in days of old, smugglers would use the notch to escape the law and make away with their bounties through the thick trees and dizzying caves into Canada. Smuggler's Notch, or Smuggs as the locals refer to it, is very much a place that encompasses a local, family feeling. The ski resort is only 35 miles from Burlington, Vermont so it has plenty of regular visitors year round that like to cal it a second home.

Yes, the winter Olympics are around the corner, but Whistler B.C. is still the destination to go this winter.  Read more here.

THERE are good reasons that much of the Winter Olympics is taking place in Whistler next month. Sure, North America’s biggest ski resort looms overhead. But this steep mountain valley is home to something else that makes it particularly welcoming to Olympic athletes: a global citizenry. Walk down the main promenade and see everyone from rich urban castaways and old-school hippies to French-babbling Québécois and weathered dropouts shouldering skis the size of ironing boards. It makes Whistler feel worldly and cosmopolitan, even when gold medals aren’t being handed out.

Definitely not one that's really common, a turkish bath, on a boat, read more here.

Apart from the fleet of 'sjarks', the small coastal fishing boats still used in Northern Norway, Vulkana is one of the few traditional wooden vessel left from the 1900s. We have restored and rebuilt some of the interiors, so that the boat is suitable for passengers. However, externally, the ship still looks much like the fishing vessel it once was, and some of the interior is still the same way as it was when it was built during the fifties.

With Vulkana, you can travel along and experience the coast of Northern Norway in an authentic fishing boat. The boat has been certified, and can carry twelve passengers as well as a crew of three.

We've all done it, gotten a little bit drunk.  Getting home can be a chore, where's home?  Luckily, here are some places to stay that have a bar.

Many of our classic pubs have disappeared in recent years, but there are still plenty of cosy weekend boltholes offering comfortable accommodation and great food. The best also function as community hubs, sticking to the time-tested template of dogs under tables and locals drinking pints. This selection of pubs for a winter break offers good food, atmosphere and location – as well as bedrooms and service approaching boutique-hotel standard. All serve families.

Since checking in baggage is becoming expensive, all that you can carry on is becoming the norm.  How best to do it.

Go for it. Just don't be a jerk, follow a few simple etiquette rules, and everything should work out fine, travel experts say.

Experienced airline travelers, bloggers and travel Web sites generally agree on practices for handling carry-on bags to keep clutter, confusion and conflict to a minimum. Here are their top 10 tips:
