Guesses for new set:
31. Marcia
32. New York Times
33. 12
34. Kindle, not correct, but never leave a question unanswered
35. Well, the order is Lepidoptera, which encompasses both butterflies and moths, but I don't think that is the answer they are looking for (the name of the Order would be a real question on a Seabourn cruise team trivia game, and 3 of 8 teams would get it right), so I will go with butterflies.
36. Naples - have been there once, and visited Pompei.
37. I think I probably know this, have seen the movie a couple times. Bigdog asleep; he would know it in an instant. Okay, so I am going to thing of the name of William Randolph Hearst's mansion. Not working - Mamie, could we please have a multiple choice?
38. silver and gold
39. dunno, although another one where I probably do
40. spider
.
We are departing a week from today for probably our last BIG trip of our lives. On April 7 we take the Singapore Airlines nonstop 16 hours 20 min flight from Seatac to Singapore Changi, where we have four nights in a hotel, and daily sightseeing, then board one of the Royal Caribbean mega cruise ships and visit Vietnam (been there 2-3 times), Hong Kong (been there once when we couldn't afford NOT to go because I caught a special for $499 for maybe 5-7 nights, including airfare and hotel!!!?! - we did have to upgrade the room after sleeping the first night in one small bed in the corner of a 7' x 9' room), Then Taiwan, hopefully before our President caves to giving it back to China, then Jeju Island, S. Korea, then Japan, where we have never been, then 9.5 sea days across the Pacific to Seattle, where we TAKE A 2-hour BUS ride home!!! Oh! It just occurred to me - I might actually visit here on some of those sea days. I purchased a 1/4 share of a 4-device internet package for that leg of the cruise.
