I'm all for that, it sounds great!

I met a few Mercedes owners (from another MB discussion list) when on vacation in Norway and Denmark. Not only does it put a face to a name, but gives you a chance to see a little bit of their country in a way that no tourist ever could.

It's wonderful, and I even had the pleasure to return that favor when one of them I had visited in Norway came to San Francisco on company business, with colleagues, and show off the town to them.

Agreed that SudAmerica and CentroAmerica are also "America". Some people from the USA are pretty ignorant about what exists below their border.
