Brilliantly written by: ROBIN The count-down is on! Carolyn and I are bustin' outta this joint in sixteen days. I don't know about Carolyn's family, but I'm sure mine still has a million questions. So pop some popcorn, put your feet up, and get comfortable-- welcome to Tunisia 101: Where, What, and Why the Hell We're Going.

I've avoided organizing any of these wonderful events, but I've been informed by my siblings that I can't avoid it any longer. It's my turn! We rent four cottages a block from the bay and a short distance from ... read more
