Travel Quiz - Destinations

One of the delights of traveling is the little nuggets we sometimes bring back with us from exotic destinations - not necessarily information our lives will ever depend on, but the kind of detail that can authenticate a memory and return the pleasure of the original experience.

On the other hand, if you’re a careful reader of this newsletter, you can be just as smart even if you stay at home (as smart, but not as happy.) All the answers to this multiple-choice quiz can be found in past issues. For any that leave you wondering, visit our Destinations Section.
