Update on Argentina...
Argentina is less than two months away! Tomorrow I begin my preparations by getting a yellow fever shot. It is not necessary to do to travel there, but one of our tour advisors recommended it, so off I go to the clinic. Ouch!
Also, I wanted to be sure my comments feature still works. When I posted my celebrity collage comment, the ability to comment on that note disappeared. I hope it reappears.
PS...I also don't have the option to change the color of my font!!^$#%$#@% oh, well....

The two months until your Argentina trip will fly by faster than you can believe. What an awesome trip.
However I am not sure of your spelling of "^$#%$#@%" (It might be an American variant) The correct English spelling, as I was taught is "^£#%£#@%". There is also a Japanese variant which is spelled as "^¥#%¥#@%". I find it wonderful as I search through genealogical records to discover that no matter what the language of our ancestors, there are many words that essentially mean the same thing with just minor changes in spelling. Ah, cursing, the universal language.
As always, you add an international flavor to my blog.
BTW, what were you going to say about my celebrity look-alike pics?
I see the likeness between you and Mae West very much. But I am surprised that Glenn Close was not shown as a choce. You and Fergie? Don't see it. She's not in your class. Eva Peron? Maybe if you were less nice and more authoritarian. We'll find out when you get to Argentina what they think.
Some of the pictures were definitely a shock. I wouldn't have thought of Mae West, but there is a likeness in the photograph. I liked the Crown Princess of Sweden, Victoria, as one of the choices, despite the lack of royal blood in my family history. But who knows? Glenn Close would have made sense as would Shirley MacLaine. The red hair alone should have connected on that one. But Janet Leigh? I am very complimented but don't see it.
You are totally Sharon Osbourne.
