Vacation in ...
Beirut!
I don't know whether to laugh or cry at this piece on Slate. Slate had scheduled an issue on Beirut and where to go and what to see for July. They've linked to it on their site and it's an odd tribute to Beiurt and Lebanon- but I've thought about it and I think it is worth checking out if only to understand what the Israeli attack has done to a vibrant and sophisticated city. If you are not already aware of what was available in Beirut, this will both surprise and dismay you.
