Your lucky! But I suppose its easier since you live "in the general area" meaning you dont have to cross the oceans. My brother, once he gets done with the Basic Training this winter, is talking a 5 month trip through Europe. Lucky guy. I bet Ireland has nice beer, especially around St. patricks Day I'd like to go some places in Germany that wern't 'hit in the war', same with France. @Jeru: I would also like to visit the Middle- East, but didn't add that to my list for 'politcal' reason, though, Im sure, that it is definatley nto as bad as I am thinking Ive been watching the US news too much )
