I'm off to a good start too. I'll have my first at the stroke of midnight in BCN.

In Jan, I'll be getting AMS, BCN, and SAL. I'll worry about the others after that.

OK, I'm game for that special challenge. Either 52 countries this year for me OR 104 countries allowing all country visits (i.e UK 15 times counts as 15 countries).

How about having a mini PIP somewhere with exclusive invitation to all those that complete the challenge.

Perhaps that should be in another country for anyone who needs a 12th!

Ie you must have 11 before you go to the event to be able to attend.

I went to 6 countries in 2001 and 9 countries in 2002. I hope to go to at least 12 different countries in 2003. I am already booked to go to Germany (weekend at Bernie's III) and Spain in January.

Or perhaps we have that event in January 2004 since surely any of us in North America who manage to complete this really WON'T need the extra qualifying flights in 2003.
