"The warm weather is beginning to cool just a bit, kids are heading back to school. We hate to admit it, but summer's over, and our wonderful, leisurely vacations are gone with it.\nIf you're not quite ready to readjust to the not-so-lazy days of the rest of the year, you might want to give YouTube's latest channel a spin.\nOn the official YouTube blog, YouTuber Mark Day wrote, \"There\u2019s no shortage of videos on YouTube to inspire travel plans, and our new program Vacationer... brings the best of our partners\u2019 travel content into a single destination.\"\nThe Vacationer channel offers a carousel of escapist frolics shot in pleasant and exotic locations. Provided by such entities as National Geographic, the Travel Channel, HowCast, Lonely Planet and more, the content ranges from videos of steel drums and belly dancers to clips of a 24-hour sojourn in New York City. \nThese videos run the gamut from fascinating to entertaining to genuinely useful, and cover vacation information and inspiration for the U.S., Canada, Europe, the Caribbean and \"exotic\" locales.\nWhile this might not be as practical as a simple YouTube search if you already have a destination in mind, it's a great place to get ideas for your next trip or simply learn about interesting destinations around the world.\nWe also like the channel's interface, which reminds us distinctly of iTunes's Cover Flow.\n\nThe channel is sponsored by Norweigan Cruise Lines, which gets its own tab on the channel for showcasing its cruise ship-related videos.\nWhat do you think of Vacationer so far? What kinds of videos or sections should YouTube add? And what other themed channels do you think should come out next? Let us know your thoughts in the comments."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
