I tried, twice, both times conceived the next month at home. Oh well. And NO, we're not going to keep trying until we do it!

Apparently it's a Japanese superstition that children conceived under the Northern Lights have a very auspicious beginning. So - I have been told there is a flourishing market in places like Yellowknife, Canada for tourists who require a tent and a few hours privacy. I wonder if any far north European locations that have this type of tourist?

We may try for a honeymoon baby on our trip to Italy.

Saints have preserved me from this so far. So far..who am I kidding ..at my age it would be a miracle that I DO NOT WANT!

I think its a great idea. Might try it myself.

Well, even if there was no success, this could be more fun "shopping" than most men would normally enjoy on vacation!

Apparently, I am the ultimate souvenir! My parents traveled through Europe in the summer of 1973 and I was born in March of 1974. They believe that I was concieved in a tent in a campground in Rome! I suspect this is why I have always felt an affinity for all things Italian!
