Cold War Tourism

 Be Prepared....the old Boy Scout Motto.

There is a rush for bomb shelters in Europe as the war in the Ukraine intensifies.

I learned that the Swiss have required bunkers in all residential buildings since the 1960s.

And to prove that here a couple of shorts in one building in Bulle, Switzerland.

So get ready to "duck and cover" my friends.

Swiss voters reject six week paid vacation

That was the news found in my local paper as reported by the Associated Press.

AP notes that the Swiss are known for their work ethic and this rejection may be a vote of austerity in the economic crisis found around the world.

What impact might have on vacation travel? Compared to the American model of 2 weeks paid vacation, there is still a lot of room.

People are already cutting back on the traditional 2 weeker in the family station wagon (mini van or cross over).

Stuff to ponder over our Spring Break!
