Time for a Nakation?

A couple of comments about Nakations (Nude Vacations):

1. The taxi drivers at the Cancun, Mexico airport love the visitors to Hidden Beach Resort (a nude resort) because they have so little baggage (overheard by a lady that didn't let them know she spoke Spanish).
2. Nakationers really don't like the new TSA liquid rules, because their toiletry kits used to be the largest item they packed and it WAS easy to use carry on.
3. When the airline loses your luggage on your way to a vacation at Club Orient in St. Martin, you really don't worry about it much (which really messes with the minds of the airline workers!)
4. When going to dinner at the resort, the only question from my wife has been "Should I wear my blue pareo, my yellow pareo or nothing?" And we were ON TIME for dinner!

From Gary Leff, Chief Financial Officer for a university research center:

"I get several pitches a day from various PR hacks looking to place a story for a client. Most of the time I ignore them. Occasionally I ridicule them. But once in a while I simply reproduce a portion of their email verbatim.

The latest travel buzzword to appear in our lexicon comes from the 50,000 members of the American Association for Nude Recreation (www.aanr.com) and the word is: Nakation.

AANR defines a Nakation (pronounced like vacation) as: v. to take a clothing optional vacation, esp. away from home for pleasure and recreation. n. the part of your vacation you’ll brag to friends about.

Heck, with airlines charging for extra checked luggage, it makes good fiscal sense to take a Nakation. This type of pleasure trip also eliminates the potential hassle of lost luggage!"
