Hope you have a great holiday. Susan what happened to all the countries we visited on our original journey to Australia. That is if you can allow refuelling stops.

We're off there next week! :) It's a strange place.... in some ways it thinks it's part of Oz but in other ways it's not. Hmmm…I wonder if they count Norfolk Island as a country?

"Membership in the Travelers' Century Club (TCC) is limited to those travelers who have visited one hundred or more countries of the world. It was first organized in Los Angeles in 1954 by a group of the world's most widely traveled people." "Here is the Travelers' Century Club's official list of countries http://www.travelerscenturyclub.org/countries.html , a total of 317 as of June 2007. Although some are not actually countries in their own right, they have been included because they are removed from parent, either geographically, politically or ethnologically (see the Country Status page for detailed criteria). After consideration as to how long one must have stayed in a country or island group to qualify, it was decided that even the shortest visit would suffice — even if only a port-of-call, or a plane fuel stop. This greatly widens the field and will give the traveler a better chance to qualify for one of the most unusual clubs in the world." So I would say that all of your countries count. I am up to around 65, with 7 more that will be added in October.
