vacations

Did I miss anything?

Sat, 07/04/2009 - 9:20am

So I'm back from my week off.  Did I miss anything?  Let's see: 

  1. Coup in central American country;
  2. North Korea acts provocatively
  3. Iran's regime ramps up its paranoia
  4. Republican governors gone wild
  5. The Washington Post commits an odd blunder. 

In other words, a typical week in 2009. 

Actually, that's not fair to Central America -- thankfully, coups there are much rarer than they used to be.

My ultimate vacation itinerary

Sat, 06/14/2008 - 11:13am
I like taking vacations off the beaten path -- one of my favorite trips was to Samarkand, Uzbekistan at the height of summer.  It should not be surprising, then, that this Foreign Policy list of the most alluring and inaccessible places for an American to visit is like catnip to me. Go check out the list.  My favorite fact:  fewer than 500 American tourists have visited North Korea since the end of the Korean War.
