I say rookie cause my cousin (same one) and her sis are the daughters of an Ambassador. She literally lived - not visited- all over the world, and still travels regularly. My dad has me beat as well. Those friends who are married to Euros also tell me about all the international traveling Europeans do on the regular.
Well, yeah a rookie compared to your family you might be a rookie, since it sounds like you got a lot of Ferdinand Magellans up in that family tree

But compared to the average American, you're definitely not a rookie at all.
I tried to look for "A Map For Saturday" on netflix but it wasn't there. I went to dude's blog though, it will be good weekend reading, thanks for the tip! I'm going to look for the documentary in local stores.
I'll PM you a link to the movie, it's on a streaming site.
