Though the US dollar is strong abroad, some busy executives can't spare the time to go away. Seeing a niche market, former travel agent Tom Hansen formed "Pretend Vacation Packages," a pseudo-travel company that lets you pretend you're in a foreign country. As you go about your day, Pretend Vacations employees go with you, pretending not to understand your English, or replying in heavy accents with bad grammar. For an extra fee, Pretend will supply you with chits of Pretend foreign currency so that money exchanges are slightly confusing. In their deluxe package, Pretend will even supply you with a home version of traveler's diarrhea.
