I found the link this morning on the igoogle page, fantastic I would love to do something llike that but not sure about 23 years though
I would prefer a full bottle in front of me than a full frontal lobotomy.
Seek not excess, God hates he who roams !

If you own your house outright then renting it out and doing a road trip is really cool.
A few years ago the Shepherdess's cousin who was 52 yrs old bought a bicycle, rented out his flat and rode round the world.
When he got back he had enough in his account to buy a house.
He bought one, rented it out, and got back on his bike.
Currently somewhere in Russia enjoying the hospitality that you get when you are cycling round the world.
If you need something done quickly just ask a busy woman then get the f"k out of her way.
