I'm probably not like most of the paranoid privacy alarmist types who think all of the advertising tracking and such on the Internet are the end of society. On the contrary, I think anything that shows me ads I'm interested in instead of ads for douches or hockey equipment is OK by me.
But this comes at a cost. I periodically check travel rates and packages available in various places, and the ads that keep appearing are taunting me. There are some one-off ads I see now and then for a cabin in the mountains, or tourism for some region. The big taunting force is, as you'd expect, the rat. I see ads for the Disney Cruise Line and Walt Disney World every single day. They're all over Facebook, too.
It's like they know that I want to make this the most epic summer ever. Cruises are out of the question because they're way too expensive in the summer. Like three times what we paid for ours in February for the same itinerary. But I really want to do something cool. I've got a serious travel bug.
