The International Wolf Center in Ely, Minn., plans to add two pups to the pack in early May, said staff member Jess Edberg. The center has two sets of wolves; an exhibit pack of four that visitors can observe through a wall of windows at the center, and two who live in a separate enclosure. (As wolves age, younger wolves challenge them for dominance; at the center, older wolves are "retired" to prevent injury.) The as yet unborn pups will be obtained from a science facility in Forest Lake, and they'll be slowly introduced to the resident wolves in the following weeks. Visitors will be able to see them via video feed at first. On Memorial Day weekend, they'll be introduced to the public. The center adds pups every four years or so. More information: www.wolf.org.

A seven-day stay at the Lindbergh Terminal parking ramp rings up to $126 ($112 if you check in and pay with a credit card). But you can park in downtown Minneapolis, ride light rail to the terminal and pay, for that same seven days, $28 (plus $3 to $4 for light rail tickets to and from the airport) using Ramp-Ride-Fly, a service by ABC Parking, Metro Transit and City of Minneapolis Parking. You'll need to walk two blocks from the ramp (Ramp C at 318 2nd Av. N.) to the light rail station (Warehouse District/Hennepin Av. at 23 N. 5th St.). Trains run every 10 minutes during the day and every 15 minutes in the evening; there is no service between 1 and 5 a.m. Once you're on the train, the trip takes about 25 minutes. Also, you need to register online and reserve a parking spot at least 72 hours ahead, use a credit card to get into and out of the ramp and park at least three days. Those may be hassles, but whatever money you save will buy a snazzy souvenir. For more info, go to www.mplsparking.com or call 612-343-7275.

If you're away from home this Passover, you can probably find a seder to attend using the online International Seder Finder (www.chabad.org/seders), which lists about 2,000 communal seders held around the world by the Chabad-Lubavitch organization. Many are free, though you should let local organizers know if you're planning to attend. Locations range from U.S. college campuses to cities all over the world, including Boise, Idaho; Barcelona, Spain, and Kathmandu, Nepal, which Chabad describes as the largest seder on Earth, attracting nearly 1,000 Israeli backpackers each year.

Last Monday, Aloha Airlines suddenly shut down, after it declared bankruptcy for the second time in three years on March 20. The airline had shuffled 9,000 passengers between Hawaiian islands each day and served a few cities on the mainland West Coast. The Hawaii Visitors and Convention Bureau reports that interisland carriers Hawaiian Airlines, go! and Island Air have collectively added 10,000 seats daily by flying more planes more often. Those airlines and United, a former partner, are honoring Aloha Airlines tickets. For updated information, go to the bureau's website at www.gohawaii.com/alohaairlines.
