A New Country on My Personal World Map

I'm sure you're all just dying to see which countries I've visited in my life, so here's a map of them. I was able to add Croatia as of this week! This map tool I used enables me to cheat quite a bit, so it looks like I've visited, for example, everywhere in Russia, and I've only been to St. Petersburg (and environs) and Moscow. Also, it is quite an exaggeration to say I've visited Iceland, when in reality my cousin Lisa and I have only ever washed our hair in a sink in Reykjavik, and Iran, where we landed to refuel one time, and my brother David and I went to the stairs that descend from the plane, telling our mom that we wanted simply to set foot on Iran (at which point we looked down and saw machine guns pointed up at us) and then telling her that we had changed our minds!

Ken could add a number of places to his personal map, including lots of Caribbean islands, Egypt, Israel, and South Africa, but subtracting all of Asia.

We're both looking forward to adding South America to the girls' and our maps when we move to Uruguay for the Spring '08 semester with ACU's Study Abroad program!

OK, did we actually stop in Iceland? I don't remember that! Do I get to add it to my map? Would make 26...

I had wanted to visit as many countries as I have years. I will never catch up unless I cheat and count "transcendental visits."
