I repeat: My fellow Americans, do not put a Canadian flag on your backpack. It’s pathetic, embarrassing, and in fact deeply un-American. Here’s why.

My Vabali spa review: I loved it! Here’s an extremely detailed trip report. Every traveler has their thing: I have an ex-boyfriend who loved aquariums so much that the first time I visited one without him, on a press trip to Curacao, I literally cried as a visibly dismayed representative....
