Melissa, I did it the easy way, I hosted kids from Japan (one year) Chili (one month) Germany (3 months) Italy (2 kids for one year) and some others that I've forgotten. My eyes tire easily now Melissa, I appreciate the thought, I haven't read a book since the last Robert Ludlum novel a few years back. Trouble with his books was I couldn't stop till I finished, just had to see the next page.
