Where
there be dragons
(www.gorp.com/dragons)
Bye, Mom Cyndi Lauper spoke for teenagers everywhere when she once
declared in song that she wouldn't go on holiday with her parents anymore.
Now a company called Where There Be Dragons gives teens the chance to
get away from the folks but still explore Asia with adult guides. Among
the destinations are Nepal, Mongolia and China's Great Wall. Kids can
go camping and hiking, experience other cultures—and learn to tell
off their parents in a foreign tongue.

Smart Steps Paranoia about health and hygiene can kill the fun
in any trip. But traveling with reckless abandon can kill you. This site,
run by the Merck pharmaceutical company, offers the lowdown on healthy
travel. The section for pregnant travelers is especially informative,
with advice on the dangers vaccines present to the unborn baby. For people
with chronic illnesses, the site provides wise counsel: translate your
medical history into the language of your destination.
