Dawn, I don't want to take this too OT, but since you asked....my son and his girlfriend both graduated from college last June. He's working in Kampala running a study for a couple of professors American university professors; she's got a volunteer job helping refugees. Very cool to me, too (if not now, when?)

Wow, Layla...you do know how to travel!

If I am not on a trip, I am planning one. This spring I will take a fourteen year old who is named for me to London for a week. In June I am taking the two older sisters of another little girl named for me to Bermuda (you think their moms had this figured out???). In Sept four couples are headed to Red Lodge, MT for a week of hiking....there will be more!!!

France is already planned for May 2008. We're going to Paris and may stay in the Loire Valley, too.

dmlove - I just am really impressed. Way to go imo. They must be very neat people. Good job.

Wow alot of your are planning some nice places to visit. I dont know where to begin. I thought of Chicago. But I also never been out of the US. I would like to see the Cayman Islands or Aruba even. Something with clean blue water. I love warm hot climates.. People talking about Alaska that takes guts. I hate cold weather.
