It's official -- we booked a flight to Belgrade, Serbia on June 22. I know this to be true because I got an email from our travel agent with a subject line that reads: Itinerary/ Invoice - Passengers: Redpath/ Robert (Party of 4) LAX-BEG ** Ticketed.

To the many friends and family members who have asked over the past few month, "are you still doing that crazy traveling thing?" The answer is

The old TV show

A classic for sure, the new?

Unknown to us now.

In other Kaiku news, there in no voting this week due to low public interest.  OR maybe people were so intimidated by the brilliance of the one and only Haiku posted for Mr. M&M Man that they just couldn't bring themselves to try and top it.  Congratulations Yo Lama.  

Haiku #5 is up and running.  Check it out, but bring your high-school Swedish with you.  Those names are a bitch to pronounce!
