...with the pack and lower fares to get a competitive edge, prompting the others to follow," says Baumohl. The only question -- whose answer will probably come too late for most vacationers -- is when that will happen. So until further notice, make sure to pack your wallet along with your parasol...
...Boat," is 1 1/4 times the length of a football field (450 ft.), but with its curved walls and round ceiling trusses, it hasn't a foot of dull space in it. There are a few things in the design that seem arbitrary or merely rhetorical. The towering "parasol" that Gehry put over the river entrance is pointless except as a visual element--its roof is too high to give any protection from the weather.

A week earlier, high California winds toppled one of 1,760 yellow umbrellas opened as part of the same project. Lori Rae Mathews, 33, was crushed by the 485-lb. parasol. Removing the ill-starred display will take months...
