""Jamie, who was with two friends, said: "We were in Miami for three or four days when Katrina first hit.

"We rode that storm out and then decided to go to New Orleans. We didn't realise the storm was heading that way.""

Actually, I've gotten into a pickle by not watching the news or reading a newspaper while traveling. Once I got stranded in Southern Italy when there was a huge railway strike. When I asked why the train station was closed the Italians were dumbfounded by my stupidity ... "haven't you been reading the newspaper or watching TV ... they've been warning of this for a week!"

Well, no, I hadn't. And I also don't read Italian so I paid no attention to the front pages of papers as I passed by on the streets either.

When vacationing tourists sometimes forget the real world is NOT on vacation with you
