Vacation Tip #2: Maybe you're into sharks, pun intended. I, myself, am not. For the longest time this has been my greatest fear; being eaten alive by a wild animal. I think it may have started with viewing Jaws the first time. BTW, thanks Spielberg - one of my favorite movies of all time has given me a life-long phobia. This website has created a list of the ten most shark infested beaches in the world. Interestingly, the United States claims four spots, two in Hawaii.
