So much fun traveling with you, Laura. GAdventures is our favorite group to explore with because of interesting people like you. We also like that they have small groups, use the local transportation and take us to places off the tourist trail that make us feel more like travelers and less like tourists. Check out the London branch of The Travelers Century Club. Their " country list" includes some autonomous regions and special places that will add to your country count and perhaps you will have a chance to attend one of their meetings.
