I apologize. But do not despair! I see countrys are being added while I sleep. You just never know which one will pop up next.

My son did his 6th grade history report on Luxembourg. Shame on me!

I call her "desertgrandma Jr.".

Just remember, you can't run forever........(aims for Marc's backside with her bow.......)

Good point, appreciate being called on it.

A for getting around, Might have added a couple of other countries (Lebanon, Czech Republic) but that got postponed for a few months

Its a lot off fun, but exhausting, especially when you have to carry around everything for a few months which has to weigh less then 15KG (The suitcase is 5KG) to fit in airline weight requirements.

Thats why I've really fallen into love with ebooks, as I no longer have to buy and dispose off books as I go along. (Trying to find a decent english language book selection in the middle east or most of Africa is a major pain)

Best invention of the 21st century!

Wait. Why are there THREE people in the "not of this earth" catagory?? That was for Marc!

Gol' durn illegal aliens!
