That doesn't stop me from globe trotting, though. LOL! Well, as VP points out, these days we find out maps online... and even the large atlas books I have rarely get opened any more. I see what you mean about the lost border!<br /><br />[Thanks much for IDing the Japanese food in <a href="http://viewthrumygloballens.blogspot.com/2011/08/is-this-mustard.html" rel="nofollow">my post</a>.

Now Google Maps and Google Earth do it for me.<br /><br />Speaking of maps I thought it would be good to have one like <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1294898/" rel="nofollow">this</a>, but wouldn’t you know, it hasn’t been released yet. Just my luck!
