Deep breaths just aren't working anymore. You've sworn off CNBC and your local paper is now history, but there's no escaping the tsunami of bad economic news. A beach vacation would only give you more time to obsess over how much your 401(k) is losing with each oncoming wave. No, you can't take this crisis lying down.

We've assembled a list of the world's most aggressive vacations, our picks for the best places to blow off some steam.
