And you know if you go to the Grand Canyon, you'll have to tell us and Eddie and I will meet you in Tucson and show you around. We may or may not have a house by then, but we'll still give you the tour. And Vegas is only 7 hours from Tucson - so you can do everything in one fell swoop! :) <em>Salena's last blog post..<a href='http://bellavenere.blogspot.com/2008/02/eddie-friday_15.html' rel="nofollow">Eddie Friday</a></em> <strong><em>Salena, I think we have a while before we're touring the Wild Wild West, but I will *definitely* let you know :)</strong></em> Great list!

I have visited the country and made a point of learning some of the language before I went. It's no more difficult than German (in fact, it's similar in terms of construction). I'd love to visit again. So, Lithuanian definitely gets my vote! Gerai! <strong><em>Ooh, my first lesson!

You have inspired me to make one of my own. A few months ago I made a list of what I could think of up until now that I wanted to do in life (in order to see when I can do what). But it is a good idea to get more specific and do a 30 before 30 list, so I think I will work on it.

#25 a peeve– there is no such thing as “change up” — yes I know it is slang of recent years but it is driving me nuts.

Judith, I’ve been fairly lucky with the Italian postal service–even with some insane waits, things have mostly gotten to where they need to be, especially *from* here. *To* here is where I run into issues.

As for the change up, what I’m talking about are adjusting color schemes in the bedrooms (a nursery perhaps!), maybe adding a balcony if our neighbors let us–when I say I want things mostly settled, I’m talking about having floors, windows, and appliances that will be there for as long as they can feasibly last.

Vegas? That’s P’s fault. He also wants to go to Miami. I don’t really get it either, but I’m willing to make room for one or two of his desires on my list.
