Travel Advice for Silly Americans

A note to hippie hikers, naive missionaries, politically motivated journalists, and adventure seeking commercial boat captains:

If you haven't noticed, the US is engaged in two wars, fighting terrorism globally, and amassing huge debt; therefore, please avoid the following places:

-demilitarized zones
-nations involved in civil war
-nations in which the citizens are uprising against oppressive Islamic regimes
-pirate-infested international waters
-international borders when you or your orphans are missing paperwork

The US cannot afford to spend our diplomatic and military resources to save you from being detained when you violate my simple request.

When I ranked the places in the world I would least like to be, there was a four-way tie for first place:

-a North Korean prison
-a Haitian prison
-an Iranian prison
-a life raft with three armed Somali pirates

There are many lovely and safe places in the world for you to vacation, help children, film news stories, and have an at-sea adventure. From now on, please confine your travels to countries with a Frommer's guide.
