thank you everyone. Now I have an idea about what to look for and what to wait for as we travel..and browse and shop. Wnat to find one "special" item from each country.... Will post about all sorts of things/places. back on the 17th. couldn't have done it without you....and I've never had sooo much fun (almost an addiction) planning our trip and reading this site. take care.Jan

have a great trip!

jan---addiction it is with no cure

Have a wonderful time! And tell us all about it when you get back.

By now you should be there and your wonderful trip will be beginning. Look forward to hearing reports. Then you can start planning your return.

And, yes, this can easily become an addiction.

Have a great trip! Happy Travels!
