Still, it's worth it--especially if you plan ahead and figure out how to avoid the insects and discover the waterfalls. Not only will this give the biggest gripers in your family less to complain about but you'll be able to take a weeklong vacation for less than the price of a weekend at Disney World...
...topics like "10 Best Adventure Lodges" and "Death Valley's Vital Signs," along with thorough listings for national, state and local parks. I especially like Gorp's Zagat-style ratings of parks and trails (best national park: Glacier in Montana) as well as helpful tips on when to avoid the crowds and the mosquitoes.

Still, if you're totally spent on a beach this summer...
Last Tuesday, the Cambridge City Council explicitly pledged to continue to avoid doing something it has never done: buy World Bank bonds. Realizing that a deeper principle is at stake, the council unanimously approved a resolution to boycott the bonds “until the World Bank respects labor rights, stops promoting privatization, cancels 100% of debts owed to it by impoverished nations and stops the imposition of destructive economic policies.” In doing so, Cambridge joins a growing list of cities and institutions demanding change from the behemoth of globalization, including the usual suspects from California?...
