Looking for a cheap, exotic, and thrilling Summer adventure? Check out Bigfoot Hostel's Volcano Boarding Packages ($28). This 4.5-hour excursion will have you climbing to the top of Nicaragua's ominous Cerro Negro volcano, only to mount a sit-down board and travel at speeds of up to 50 mph while flying down the slope to the bottom.

Now you can make your next Costa Rican vacation even more unique by staying in the Costa Verde 727 Fuselage Suite ($300-$350/day), a luxuriously appointed, fully refurbished fuselage of a retired Boeing 727. This retired airframe was salvaged from San Jose and transported piece by piece through the jungle where it was reassembled atop a 50-foot pedestal. Featuring a terrace opening up to the edge of the Costa Verde National Park, the interior is furnished with handmade teak furniture from Java, and the walls are linked with teak panelling. Luxury touches include two air conditioned rooms with queen-sized beds, private baths, flat screen televisions, and even a secluded river-rock spiral staircase entrance. This is one plane that won't cramp your style. While you're there, don't forget to have dinner at El Avion, a converted C-123 airplane like the ones used in the Iran Contra affair (really).

One of the worst things about adding ice to a whisky is its ability to water-down the flavor. So chill your next drink down with Whisky Stones ($20).

Leave it to the air maestros at Dyson to create a fan with no blades. The Dyson Air Multiplier ($300-$330) uses a fairly ingenious design to suck air into the base, accelerating it through an small aperture in the device's ring and then over a ramp to channel its direction. As it happens, this also causes the air behind and around the machine to be drawn into the airflow, creating a smooth stream of air amplified 15 times, without the unpleasant buffeting caused by the blades of a traditional fan chopping the air. The only downside? It's a $300 fan.
