I would do this - but it's kind of unfair because my fiance' and I both lived in Europe, I lived there a collective of almost 6 years, and Brandan's got 8 years, plus a couple of trips since moving to college. Between the two of us we've got every thing that had to do with Europe covered, as well as... well... most of it. lol. Except Africa. You've got me beat. How you guys are doing well!
