Iowegians! What a great name. It reminds me that years ago my daughter asked me what people from Connecticut are called. With a straight face and without skipping a beat, I told her we are Connecticutians. She has been telling everyone that is our state name for two decades. She only learned last year that I was kidding and, as far as I know, there is no real nickname for people from Connecticut other than Nutmeggers.
Thanks for your sassy, funny, clever, serious or encouraging comment! Tack sa mycket, merci beaucoup, vielen Dank, domo arigato, grazie mille, tusen takk, ansante sana, terima kasih, obrigado, Dank U wel, kiitos paljon!
I was bit by a foreign travel bug after my sophomore year in high school. I haven't found a cure for it, nor do I plan to. I visited India for 5 weeks in early 2009 and Europe in July 2009. My family and I spent 1 month in Sweden, Norway and Denmark in July 2010. In January 2012, I went to the foothills of the Himalayan mountains and a wedding in Jaipur, India. Then in May 2012, I returned to Japan and Bangkok, Thailand. My family and I spent 3 weeks in Paris, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany in August 2012.
Merry and Happy New Year.
