Guesses for new set:
1. freeze dried
2. lupus
3. well, has to be airboats, which I grew to LOVE after living 8 years in Miami. Those boats have airplane propellers! Whenever we had visitors, they were ALL forced to go on an airboat ride. Your first airboat ride will always be your best. I had no idea the contraption was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. I will file that away for future cruise trivia games.
4. Puerto Rico.
5. I probably know it, Bigdog asleep; he would definitely know it.
6. We had this question on a cruise this summer, except I don't think our question narrowed the field of choices to Europe, just which country has the most islands, and of course most teams answered Indonesia. BUT, the answer turned out to be Sweden, and I was so surprised I later looked it up, and Sweden was indeed the answer.
7. I think it was Bob Dylan. I enjoyed the song when it was popular in the 70's, didn't pay a lot of attention to the lyrics at the time, until the mid to late 90's when a female colleague of mine said she was having that song played at her funeral, and then she sang the lines about "take this off of me, take this badge off of me, I don't need them anymore." I still don't know exactly what the song is about, but we did both have guns and badges at the time. So I might have that song played at my funeral too.
8. Goldeneye, which is a bird I do have recorded as "seen" on my life bird list.
9. dunno, have not been there.
10. Not sure, maybe Milan.
