I don't have time to do this now, but it looks like fun.
OK, I have to ask - HOW have you avoided food poisoning? My husband seems to be poisoned all. the. time. and I have more times than I'd like to remember...I was actually hospitalized in Cambodia for it, too. Fun times.
Anyway, I am very jealous! :)
Sheer dumb luck, I guess, because we have travelled so much and I eat almost anything. I have hadtraveller's tummy and once I had the worst cramps from eating chiles that were too spicy in Mexico, but no food poisening.
Hospitaliazed in Cambodia you say? Yeah, I have a visual on that, and all I can say is, i'm so sorry.
You haven't shared enough... now you're tagged! (check out my blog if you have no idea what I'm talking about)
cheers from NH
I TOTALLY think you being on the search and rescue team counts as saving a life!!! You take that and run with it!
