I'm keen to see Thracian Cliffs in Bulgaria. We shall have to see how the golf course itself turns out, but clifftop sites of that kind don't come along every five minutes.

Why is it that when Player starts with the hyperbole I switch off?

I know that Tom is away, but to some of his cohorts please chime in and correct me.  Isn't the Bay of Dreams (in Baha Mexico) to open next year?

Tony,  The International Congress of Bulgarian stomatologists have their annual meeting here.  Obama is hoping to bring the high level of Bulgarian dental care to our country with his proposed changes next year. ;D    Jack

Thank God Mark.  I was beginning to think that we all forgot.  It's a Hall of Famer...even before it opens.  I'm dead serious.
