The Berlin Wall that is – it will be 20 years on November 9 that this symbol of oppression came crashing down amidst cheers the world over. Austrian Airlines has a three-night Berlin package to celebrate, which includes roundtrip airfare from JFK or DC, three nights lodging and daily breakfast for $1059. The offer also includes some tour tickets as well. Dates are between November 1 – December 10 and again in 2010 from January 4 to March 25. http://tinyurl.com/ndp4mb

pick of the week

Finally, swimwear with a little more coverage, but without getting all Amish about it. A creation of Hilary Genga, who wore her husband's swim trunks for years because she felt more comfortable in them, this collection from Trunkette features a variety of tops in various patterns to mix and match with bottoms that look more like trunks than a skimpy pair of underwear. Still sexy? Yes, but a lot more comfortable and you can take a walk on the beach without exposing all your wobbly bits. $49.99 to $56.99 for separates. www.trunkettes.com
