From: JKM on 10 Mar 2010 00:34 After seven years working without a vacation, I considered a 'vacation', but my experience in the past several days in the planning has led me to a conclusion: STAY HOME! Here's why: 1. Air travel today is a pain - real pain. First, the airlines are getting very stingy on their services and fares. Restrictions are growing. Check baggage now cost about $25 each for each direction. Meals are no longer free (not that they were any good any way). What really kills my apetite for air travel is the idiots working at the security check points, specifically the TSA idiots. They are a collection of losers who got their jobs through some kind of political connection. They put their ego above passengers's dignity and comfort. Now, travelers would be stipped naked (digitally) before allowed on the plane. That part doesn't bother me as much as the health effects from the harmful radiations from the scanning machines (despite the claim otherwise by those who stand to profit from these machines). 2. I looked into two options for destination: Europe and Hawaii. Europe would be too expensive now with the dollar being devalued against the Euro. We can all thank Bush and his incompetent government for that. On top of that, again airport security makes it very painful and humilating. So, the Europe option is out. Now, Hawaii. I was hopeful to be able to "relax" and enjoy the "natural beauty" of Hawaii. No so. It turned out that lodging is a big rip off in Hawaii. It seems as if the system has been intentionally set up to cater only to the rich. The poor would never get a chance to enjoy what used to be a 'free paradise'. The rich white and the rich non-whate Americans basically destroy this paradise and turn it into cash machine. It's quite interesting to note that the Hawaii islands were stolen from the native Hawaii by the white. Now the robbers continue to exploit the island for more wealth while the natives are pushed around and into the dark corner of their own land! This makes it hard for me to visit Hawaii and support these greedy colonists. There are other places on this planet that deserve my money better than Hawaii... like my own home. To this extent, I would love to see tourism in Hawaii goes to hell with its own greed! So, I've decided to stay home and hold on to my own money instead of feeding the greedy businesses in Hawaii, where paradise only exists on a postcard.
