The World Hum Travel Zeitgeist
Travel Blog • Michael Yessis • 08.25.06 | 7:58 AM ET
Today we debut a new weblog feature, the World Hum Travel Zeitgeist. Every Friday, we’ll take a snapshot of what’s on the minds of the world’s travelers and armchair travelers. This week we’re curious about Washington D.C., Italy and our ever-shrinking vacations, and not-so-curious about Paris Hilton. Let the Zeitgeist begin.
