He tried to get more detail: local map, regional map, state map, country map, world map, something else? <br /><br />It took a while and many questions until he was able to figure out what they wanted and just what they were trying to do.<br /><br />It seems that these women met some men online and they were invited to go meet them in person. The thing is, these gentlemen lived in Egypt. Now, airfare to Egypt is quite expensive and they couldn't afford it. So they decided to drive.<br /><br />You know how there are ferries that could take you from land or island to island in various places? They figured they could drive down the Florida Keys, take a ferry to, say, Cuba, drive across, take a ferry to another island, and so on, and so forth, across the Atlantic Ocean.<br /><br />It's not just you, doc.Moosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10397412122635951126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-9129515653177378062010-02-12T14:14:39.232-05:002010-02-12T14:14:39.232-05:00I didn't know you had Sarah Palin as a patient...I didn't know you had Sarah Palin as a patient.
