I am coming over from Ginny Marie's at Lemon Drop Pie to say hello. <br />I have to tell you that I have read this post about 4 times and just love your stories so much I don't even know what to comment on!<br />I love your story of why you started your blog, and the missing tourist story made me laugh out loud!

And I have to say that I'm so excited to have finally found someone who watches QI too. Hubs doesn't really like it and all Dutch people I know don't watch BBC. The Dutch version is a horrible and very bad copy. No one can replace Stephen Fry anyway. I could hug you ;-)Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09288856854422999687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1459431979539476850.post-60496169731796544612010-05-13T08:15:03.056+02:002010-05-13T08:15:03.056+02:00You see to be honnest costs money ! next time one ...You see to be honnest costs money ! next time one takes you for 16 let him go ! <br />Besides the fact that I don't want to go to Canada and I had no bad experiences with tourists, I like the same countries and places as you !

Florence, too, of course, and Rome. I hadn't thought about Sicily so I must look into that! Also Bologna.

The little time I was a tour director had similiar instances. Any problem people got the names the Farquars and the Noodlemens. I had one problem lady whose name was Mrs Nettleman. I kept accidentally (really, accidentally)calling her Mrs. Noodleman. Not good!!<br />Some tours were pure nightmares. But you know, I wouldn't trade the experiences for anything. Think they challenged me and actually made me stronger.<br />Suephotowannabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11760961275666768173noreply@blogger.com
