I have an easy barometer that measures how much my kids are enjoying a vacation. It's the "Willie-ometer" - the number of mentions of missing the dog (the aforementioned Willie) is directly proportional to the number of days we should remain out of town.

In a place like Tampa-St. Pete, Fla., however, I've found that poor old Willie is on the losing end of the formula. The area offers an ideal mix of active fun and relaxation; urban and beach attractions; small towns and downtowns; and a theme park and water park all wrapped up in both retro and brand-new packages.

3 tourists die in Kenyan crash
Nairobi - Three Canadian tourists were killed in a road accident on their way to a Kenyan game park, police said on Tuesday. Their white safari car was headed to the northern Samburu reserve on Monday morning when a truck crashed into it, instantly killing two passengers. One died in hospital and three were sent to the Kenyan capital Nairobi for treatment. "It was a head-on collision with a lorry which was coming from the opposite direction. For unknown reasons, the lorry lost control. We are investigating the incident," said Philip Ndwiga, the deputy police commissioner. A Japanese national and a Briton were also in the car and are in hospital. Ndwiga said the respective embassies had been notified of the crash. Scores of people die on Kenya's ubiquitous pot-holed roads each year, which often involve speeding mini-buses that act as public transport.
