The bad and the ugly in travel
Here's another article on vacationers stuck in a war zone. Talk about a scary vacation.
Another disturbing thing I read is the trend for married men in Qatar to find temporary wives to vacation with (leaving their real wives at home). Even after reading the article I don't quite see how this works.
Bad news that almost seems good compared to the other stuff: Americans aren't taking any vacation, or at least not their fair share. Toward the end of that article you'll find a few tips on how make sure your work / career doesn't suffer too much while you're on vacation.

What part of "prostitution" don't you understand?
