Ah, as a traveler, I am envious. As a friend, I only wish you great travels.

Get a travel book or two and read. Even if your BIL was there, you will want to have many of your own ideas.

Don't worry about the dollar - it's just plain bad. If you are in condos, you could make a few meals. One of my favorite parts of visiting other countries is visiting the grocery store. Find out the specialties and indulge (Cheese and Guiness come to mind).

One of my favorite travel tips is to take an empty duffle bag - pack it in your luggage - and you will have room to pack all the goodies that you purchase. The duffle bag easily fills with soft, dirty clothes.

Ooops, you didn't ask, did you? Sorry, the word travel just gets my blood all a buzzin'.

I am soooooo excited for you.

oh, and JJ was there a year or two ago......

Stop, Ann, stop
