My son is an aficionado of the popular "extreme" television shows sprinkling the Travel/Food cable networks lately. There's nothing cooler to an eight-year-old-boy than knowing where the world's longest water slide is and that Dubai has an indoor ski hill and that people in Indonesia consider worms as delicacies. When I complain that my buffalo wings are too spicy in Ohio he reminds me that New Jersey is home of the hottest wings. The useless travel knowledge he acquires, tickles me pink. So it came as no surprise, to me, when my son announced that he wanted to narrate an "EXTREME Costa Rica" video chronicling our family vacation for the dot com.

Note: "extreme" meant he took a sip of coconut milk and picked up a hermit crab. But everyone has to start somewhere, no?
