I'm really looking forward to the next installment. Have you ever heard of the Traveler's Century Club? http://www.travelerscenturyclub.org/ It is a club for people who have been to 100 countries (though they count countries somewhat differently so there are more like 300 or something. I bet your Uncle Jim has enough to get in because for example they count Italy and Sicily, or Australia and Tasmania as two different countries on the list. By my count I have been to 30 (I don't count stopovers either but they do) but by theirs it is 40. I think I might have a new goal :) What a lovely idea Cat. I’m really looking forward to the next installment.

In my case I should make it a 27 countries list, but I'm not that far from it either :) That was truly inspirational and fun to read.
