  1. I never travel without my pocket map! Now you see why I like going to South America and Africia.

    And both continents are up for grabs for the big vacation this year...we are trying to still decide the big trip......

    1. Whichever it is - take an inflatable cushion to sit on as well as that map! Jx

  2. Even wearing my optician's glasses...I don't think I'd use this map as a guide. (Perhaps I should say that I have spent some time with deaf people...)

  5. This took a moment. I love the thought that Canadian appendages are bigger than those of US Americans. This map could have a tremendous impact on international travel.

    1. I was surprised India was dark green. The sauna in Darleston near Birmingham had a very South Asian clientele, and from my experiences there none of them were wanting in that department! Maybe the "big boys" all left to come to the UK? Jx
