...never easy after a long summer break. But few will find it tougher than the McCann family. Four and a half months after vacating their pretty Leicestershire village in the heart of England, Kate and Gerry McCann and their two-year-old twins finally quit Portugal's Algarve coast for home yesterday, leaving a list of unanswered questions behind them...
...just won't do. "The resort sector was a little tired and cookie cutter," says America Online founder and former chairman Steve Case. His own frustration as a traveler led him in August to invest in Cacique, an $800 million, eco-friendly resort planned for Costa Rica's northwest coast. To stand out in the crowded luxury field, a boast about sheets with a thread count of 1,200 isn't enough. So Case and other hotel developers are trying to create a new model for luxury.

Normandy and Brittany experienced wet, cold weather, while the Atlantic coast from the Bordeaux region down to the Spanish border was doused by record-setting volumes of rain. The impact of that went beyond slumping tanning lotion sales. Between cold demis of beer that never got ordered to ice cream that stayed unscooped; from crops that didn't ripen enough to cultivate into summer...
