Thanks so much to everyone who helped make our trip possible. We couldn't have done this without LOTS of help! Special thanks to:

Andrew, for working so hard to support my traveling habit.

Marianne, Grandma Cuca, and Gigi for joining me on the trip. I know you may have lost some hearing from Caroline's screeching along the way, but we sure had fun with you!

All of our friends and relatives who let us stay with you along the way. You were such great hosts. We love you!
