All you really need is "Una Cerveza Fria por favor" and "Donde es el bano?"

Of course "Immigration" can clear a room here in the US!

Cute. The toddler has since grown up and manages quite nicely on her own. The dog still needs my interpretive skills.

Yep, when I joined the Army they said FTA meant Fun, TRAVEL and Adventure

I enjoyed living in Europe for 3 1/2 years and traveled as much as possible from 1983-1986

French: obnoxious and elitist

Irish: Warm and friendly

English: Good to party with, speak funny

Visiting East Berlin when the wall was up really drove home the differences between a free society and communiusm.

Egypt during Bight Star 96 showed me the squalor of Cairo and a poor society.

Travel is very broadening.

To quote Chuck Berry and Linda Rhonstadt:

"I'm so glad I'm living in the USA.

Still want to vist:

Australia

Italy

Greece

I live in Texas. I haven't been to any foreign countries. I went to Arkansas once, though.

[khigh]

Texas- it counts, especially Houston
Mexico
Bahamas
India

Speak a little: Spanish, German, Italian, and Hindi (turned off the subtitles to a lot of my favorite movies, and I can understand them. Got to talk to my immigrant doctor in Hindi and he loved it). I can read and write some Latin.

[HandsomeTramp]

Twenty-seven.

[HandsomeTramp]

Wake Is.

Wake Island is cool, isn't it?

"Where America Begins Her Day" is their slogan, since it's the first U.S. territory, timezone-wise.

Since you were there, did you also get to Johnson Island (Atoll)? Now, THAT place is da shizzle! :)

dang... you'd think I was tryin' to talk him into taking a trip around the world... lol...

I'm not entirely against road trips. Just that I can't afford them and don't really want to go alone.
