I've had the same dream since I was 13. One of these days, I'll sit in the tunnel at Monaco while Formula 1 cars scream through it. I don't think they let anyone in there during an actual race, but maybe practice. I don't know, but I'll die trying. I'd also love to go to Cento, Italy. The home of my family.

Right now with the dollar being as low as it is, European travel is just very expensive. My Ex takes my daughter to Greece each year and half the time his family has to pay half of the cost because he can not afford it each year and he earns a middle class wage.

Sounds great. I've been trying to get anywhere in Europe since I was in high school. Had several opportunities, but everytime it seems to go wrong.

Not at all, I went to Greece, handed the kid over to Yia Yia and partied the whole time I was there almost. None of my family in the states helped me with me child so it was the first break from parenthood I ever had. I broke plates and bottles on floors (even though it is not supposed to happen anymore) and I had the best time ever. The only drawback was missing hearing english. I went to dinner one night with all people who could speak english and they all spoke in greek all night. I told the bartender to keep em comming.

Wow. That takes a lot of patience to travel to Greece for over a month with a newborn. Have you been nominated for sainthood yet ?

Athens Greece is tough on a young one too but my child did just fine and we had no AC the entire 5 weeks in Greece.
