I am a U.S. citizen. I received a visa to visit Brazil in late 2006 for a trip to Brazil that I took in 2007. My passport has since expired, and I now have a new passport. I still have my old passport with the visa that is valid until late 2011. Can I use the visa in my old passport and bring both passports when I visit Brazil in January 2010? I have sent three e-mails to the Embassy of Brazil requesting an answer to this question and received no response. I have followed up with a letter to the Brazilian ambassador and received no response.

My daughter is in a study-abroad program in Madrid that ends in early December, and we want to travel together (outside Spain) for 10 to 14 days after she is done. We would love to visit cities that are beautiful even in the early days of winter, and particularly those that embrace the holiday spirit.
We motored the Zodiac into Kealakekua Bay around noon, the sun shining off what I'd been looking for: The Captain Cook monument, its ivory surface and vertical shape sharply contrasting with the green foliage background.
UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - Even on a hot sunny afternoon, the "Saw: Game Over" maze for this year's "Halloween Horror Nights" at Universal Studios Hollywood can send a chill up your spine.
Finally, a cruise for Mrs. Robinson, the older woman in the film "The Graduate" who seduced the much younger character played by Dustin Hoffman.
