Our immigration paperwork :) I was in such a hurry to get back to Romania so we could fill everything out together that i actually forgot all of it. My mom overnighted everything to me. Thankfully! I could have just reprinted everything but it was already nicely placed in a folder and ready to go as soon as it was all completed.

A wireless computer mouse for my laptop. After I got there I couldn't find it but I was sure I remembered packing it. I looked all over her house for it, but could not find it. I figured it must have fallen out of my computer bag enroute. Sure enough when I got home it was there.

Oh, I've always taken a light jacket with me to the Philippines. This is my fourth trip coming up, and I will not be bringing one this time. (because its summer here in California)

Yeah, old money. Reais from past times in Brazil I forgot every time I went back. Must have about 200 reais kicking around the house. That'd take care of cab fare.

hmmm....did you have to go to a nude beach the whole time there..or, purchase one?

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

No, no nude swimming and NO NOOOOO Italian bathing suits (which are lovely, but you might as well be naked, as far as i could see) I just didn't go in the water :( ... except if you count showering as going in the water...

I made up for it by going on many non-beach-related excursions, however ;)
