I feel like I should be singing and snapping my fingers to that old Roger Miller tune, "King of the Road" (though the lyrics aren't at all fitting, so I should probably pick a different tune) because I've been amazed by all of your travel adventures and thrilled to come along on the ride.<br /><Suzannehttp://www.eiderdownpress.com/Perfume_Journal.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4026359168982468373.post-8494762982017993032011-10-30T15:43:27.245+00:002011-10-30T15:43:27.245+00:00Many congratulations on Bonkers 2nd anniversary - ...Many congratulations on Bonkers 2nd anniversary - and your new fridge - V! <br /><br />I love the way you put so much of yourself and your adventures into your blog.

All the reviews I have read of BV have been favourable so there's a fair chance you'll like it too.<br /><br />The Swiss sniffa continues apace - on my third day and doing much better than usual on the sample-scoring front.
