Girlfriend deserves
to know about
man’s abusive past
Dear Abby: My brother is
in a long-term relationship.
Throughout my teenage years,
he raped me every chance he
got. The emotional and physi-
cal abuse has left my life bro-
ken. Should I tell his girlfriend
about it? 1 did confront him DEAR ABBY
about it, but he just denied it.
Wouldn't she want to know?
Survivor in Florida
Dear survivor: Yes, you should tell his
girlfriend about it! You should also tell ev-
ery one of your relatives. Where were your
parents when this was going on?
While it may be too late for the police to
haul your brother off to prison, you should
absolutely talk to a rape crisis counselor
about what he did to you. To locate a re-
source near you. contact R.A.LN.N. (rainn.
org), the Rape. Abuse and Incest National
Network. It may be able to help you put
your life in order. Its toll-free phone num-
ber is 800-656-4673.
Dear Abby: Would you please remind
your readers about proper service dog et-
iquette? My service dog has given me a
new lease on life, but going out in public
w ith him can be a huge source of anxiety.
If your readers see a service dog in public,
they should remember:
Don't pet the dog. or talk to it. and don't
allow children to “rush” the dog. This dis-
tracts the service dog from its important
job and could put a handler in danger.
Please don’t question whether service
dogs are or should be “allowed" some-
where. Handlers need to shop, take public
transport and go to restaurants just like ev-
* eryone else.
Do not ask invasive personal questions
about the handler's health or abilities.
I’m sure you wouldn't want a strang-
er prying into your own medical history.
JIM MULLEN
came from local fishers and from fruit
that dropped from the trees. It truly was
a tropical paradise, far, far away from the
real world. Until I discovered I'd suddenly
acquired a shellfish allergy. As my airways
constricted and I flopped around like a
fresh fish on the deck of a boat. I realized
that not only had we gotten away from the
bad things about civilization - like traffic
jams and jackhammers — we had also
gotten away from the good things, like
emergency rooms and Epi Pens.
One year, we w ent to the Grand Cany on,
but since we’d been to the popular South
Rim many times, we thought we’d go
see the much less-visited North Rim. In
February. The North Rim. I'm happy to
share, is closed to vehicles in the winter
No wonder it doesn't get as many v isitors.
1 won't mention all the canceled or
delayed flights, the lost luggage, the late
luggage, the flat tires, the seedy motel
rooms and the food poisoning. Well, I
guess 1 just did.
I'm starting to rethink the whole idea of
vacations. How many times have I gotten
back from a vacation so tired and spent
that 1 felt as if I needed a vacation from
my vacation? I’ve had more fun working
than 1 have on most of the vacations I've
taken.
Next time, maybe I'll just spend two
weeks at the office without pay and see
how much I like it. The food's better than
most airlines, and I won't have to worry
about hitting pockets of turbulence.

“They say it's broken a record last set
in 1804’”
“Wow! W ho knew it could rain like this.
And for so many days in a row! It’s like
a curtain; you can barely see across the
street.”
We are sitting in the vacation beach
house we rented last year. The estate
manager had said they go quickly, and that
we shouldn't wait.
“If you don’t rent it by the end of the
week, someone else will,” he said. I can’t
tell you how much I wish they had. How
many games of Canasta can you lose
before you want to scream? Of course,
when I tell people that I'm on vacation,
most of them say, “From what?”
Regardless, we rented a big, expensive
beach house so our friends and family
could enjoy a week at the beach. We don’t
do this every year. The last time was about
10 years ago. A hurricane hit the week we
had the house. We had to evacuate and
spend three days in a Motel 1 1/2. There
was no refund on the beach rental.
What are the chances of something like
that happening twice? To me. pretty good.
Florida had never been so cold as the
February we visited our friend Winnie in
Fort Lauderdale. Instead of 85 and sunny,
it was 55 and cloudy. She was wearing a
fur coat - in the house. It was colder in
Florida than it was Minnesota that week.
Once, when we went to Vail to go skiing,
they said they had never had such a heat
wave before in recorded history. We
took a cruise, and it was just like being
in heaven — until the norovirus hit. There
were no lines at the never-ending buffet
that night, my friends. It was God’s way
of saying. “I'm sparing you from having
to see overweight men in Speedos.”
On a camping trip to a national park. I
actually said. “Look, there's an empty spot
next to the restroom.” I now know there's
always an empty camping spot next to the
restroom.

Summer
vacation:
Never mind the hike...
where's the hammock?
/
m isMciira press
Never mind the hike. Where's the
hammock? A new poll about summer
travel finds that the No. I thing Ameri-
cans want to do on vacation is ... noth-
ing.
Almost three-fourths of Americans
say resting and relaxing is very or ex-
tremely important to them when they
go on vacation, according to the sur-
vey from The Associated Press-NORC
Center for Public Affairs Research.
Among those dreaming about kick-
ing back is Yari Blanco of Brooklyn.
New York, who recently tweeted,
“Your girl needs a vacation. The kind
where you lay by a crystal blue beach
and nap in a hammock.” Blanco, who's
been busy working on a website she
recently launched called TheGirlMob,
hopes to squeeze in some relaxation
time in July and maybe a trip later this
vear to Portugal.
STAYCATIONS. UNPLUGGING
Interestingly, most Americans say
stay ing home and doing nothing isn’t
ideal. Instead, they want a change ot
scenery Of those who plan a summer
vacation. 92 percent are going away
and only 8 percent are making it a stay-
cation. More than half of those polled
said relaxing at home doesn't count as
a real vacation.
How about unplugging?
Only 22 percent “completely discon-
nect" while on vacation. A third don't
even try to get away from the internet
and social media. Some of those sur-
veyed — 42 percent — say they dial
back their lime online a little.
Americans under 30 are the most
plugged in. Just 13 percent say they're
likely to completely disconnect on va-
cation. But most Americans do avoid
working on vacation. Sixty percent of
workers say they don't check in with
work at all when they're on vacation,
while 32 percent say they work or
check in with work a little. Eight per-
cent may fall into the workaholic cat-
egory : They work or check in with the
office “a lot.”
TOP VACATION ACTIVITIES
Sightseeing was ranked important by
55 percent of those surveyed, followed
by experiencing local culture and cui-
sine (51 percent), visiting family (46
percent) and spending time in nature
(45 percent). But there's a gender gap.
Shopping is more popular with women
than men (22 percent versus 9 percent),
and women also prioritize sightseeing
(60 percent versus 49 percent) and vis-
iting family (52 percent versus 40 per-
cent) more than men.
AIRLINE REGULATIONS
Many Americans support more gov-
ernment regulations on airlines — per-
haps a logical response to recent head-
lines over passengers being hauled oft
flights in disputes with airline staff. Six
in 10 respondents want the government
to regulate airline policies for bumping
passengers and handling overbooked
flights. Nearly half would like to see
more regulation regarding flight delays
and cancellations.
TRAVELING COMPANIONS
The stereotypical image of families
piling into a car for a summer trip isn’t
too far from reality. Among married
couples. 8” percent vacation with their
spouses. Among parents. 87 percent
vacation with their kids. Three-fourths
of vacationing parents will drive rath-
er than fly. Most vacationers, married
or not. travel with others. Overall, 68
percent will travel with a spouse or sig-
nificant other and 49 percent w ill travel
with other relatives or friends. Just 14
percent of vacationers will travel solo,
including about a quarter of unmarried
travelers.
Sixty-one percent of vacationers say
they’ll drive. 31 percent will fly and 4
percent will cruise. Another I percent
will go bv train. 2 percent bv bus.
TIME VERSUS MONEY
Half of the public expects to spend
less than $1,000 for their summer holi-
day and half anticipate lay ing out more.
Time is the luxury most people de-
sire. Nearly two-thirds of Americans
would prefer a less extravagant vaca-
tion over a longer one.
LODGING ”
For accommodations, hotels and
motels are most popular, used by 45
percent of summer vacationers. Anoth-
er 22 percent will stay with friends or
relatives. Rentals of homes, condos or
apartments w ere the choice of 17 per-
cent. while 9 percent will sleep in a
tent, cabin or RV.
NON-VACATIONERS
The poll also found, in results re-
leased previously, that 43 percent of
Americans won’t take a summer vaca-
tion. w ith 49 percent of non-vacationers
saying they can’t afford it. Another 11
percent said they can’t take time oft
from work, while 3 percent said they
don’t like to be away from work. The
survey also found that 41 percent of
working Americans do not get paid va-
cation time from their employers.
