New look, new countdowns

So, can anyone tell me the flag that's at the top of my blog? I know one of my readers can for sure ... actually, two, seeing as Jennie sat with me for many hours figuring out my new look on my blog. Thanks Jennie! You're the best! :)

This flag represents the next new country I am going to visit in 82 days from today ... I mentioned it a few posts ago ... ARGENTINA! I'm so excited to go and see my friend, Leana! :) Lea and her hubby, Doug have lived there for about 8 and a half years and probably every year I say to her, "Maybe this will be the year I come and visit." Well, no more dangling it out there. My ticket is bought and I leave the day after the U2 concert so I'll be flying high ... maybe I won't even need the plane to fly me there. ;)

Lea will come meet me in Buenos Aires for a few nights to start off the trip, then we'll go to their place and I'll get to meet their 2 adorable girls. It's so fun to webcam with Lea and see the girls. They come up and say, "Hola, Fiona!" Their English is getting better all the time. I hope to learn a bit more Spanish before going down there, but we'll see if I can fit it in.

I'm not sure what else to do while I'm there, but I'm sure Lea will have some great ideas. If any of my readers out there have been to Argentina before, please let me know of anything that I absolutely shouldn't miss.

I'm also getting myself psyched for the U2 concert. I have a friend who knows all things U2 and he sends me updates all the time about how their tour is going so far and You.Tube clips of "how to get front row seats at a U2 concert." All fun things like that. The anticipation is killing me. It seems so far away. I cannot wait!

Such fun things to look forward to! Let the countdowns begin!!!
