The modern American tourist now fills his experience with pseudo-events. He has come to expect both more strangeness and more familiarity than the world naturally offers. He has come to believe that he can have a lifetime of adventure in two weeks and all the thrills of risking his life without any real risk at all.

A Blog Around The Clock 
Tell me about it. I was a travel agent for 17 years and I don’t know how many times I have seen a family spend twice as much money for a trip to Disney as they would have going to Europe for twice as long. And they went to Disney the year before as well and will be going next year also. It was depressing.
And American tourists are different from tourists from other countries how, exactly?
It would be a nice place to get and read the good blog.
