“Thanks Sass...”

“good article, thanks for posting it. Myself, I unfortunatly missed the age of travel in the "hippie" fashion. I always dreamed of doing it, but have never fulfilled that dream. I am now beginning to start that journey now, here in the US, but not in the same fashion...Oh well...I'll do what I can and gain the satisfaction that I am doing things that I have never done before...I'd love to do a foreign backpack thing...maybe one day.”

“My grandmother told me stories of her year in college in Egypt in the early 1900's. She rode camels in the desert and climbed pyramids. I sure would love to go but I would have to pretend to be Canadian or something.”
