Funemployment: Travel Co. Offers Discounts To Recently Laid Off

During these tough times, a few of my recently downsized friends have optimistically referred to their layoffs as extra vacation time.

Karen Duncan, 53, had the same idea. She lost her job as an electrician in December and seized the opportunity to take her dream trip. "I've wanted to go to Thailand for a long time, but the flight is so long I don't want to go for a short time," says the New Jersey native. "It's not in our American culture to take really long vacations."
