    What is the food you miss most from "home?"

    I'm not surprised. I often feel like I could die if I don't get some tacos and salsa. When I first came here, there were several restaurants in my area claiming to be authentic Mexican. They weren't. It seemed to be beyond them to copy Mexican simple recipes. One served ketchup en lieu of...

    Potentially last item on bucket list

    I was part of a tour group and had a guide. I almost never join groups but maybe I did this time because I remembered my grandmother telling me how she and her father ran across the snow to escape the Cossacks and get out of Russia in 1907. We had several incidents on the trip that made me...

    A train across Canada or taking the Orient Express across Europe and Asia seem to be excellent candidates for the end of a bucket list. I took an overnight train from St. Petersburg, Russia to Moscow a few years ago. While this train didn't make any stops we still experienced a bit of Russian...

    That's an interesting list, I will check out those destinations. If you make it to Faro, go an hour west to Lagos, it's amazing. I, too have a keen interest in Inca and other pre-Colombian cultures, I've even spent time at archeological excavations.

    Potentially last item on bucket list

    I'm sorry about your misfortune but it sounds like you are recovering. Of the 50 countries you visited which one would you like to have a home in when you are older? Which one surprised you the most (favorably)? For me it's the Algarve.

    Potentially last item on bucket list

    I've traveled a lot, but after my last couple of trips I'm thinking that I might be getting too old for long trips to far away and exotic places. So I want to make my next trip really special because it may very well be my last. If anyone has an idea of a place that would be suitable as the...

    Has anyone tried MercadoLibre International?

    We saw a bedspread that we'd like to order on Mercado Libre but it was marked 'International'. I'm concerned that the product might get hung up in customs or take months to get here. Has anyone ordered anything that was similarly marked?

    Need US phone number

    I have had success with Google Fi. Good clear connections, local US number and, very important, reliably getting sms codes for two step verifications. It used to require activation in the US.
