Did I mention that there are rules to Mystery Vacation clues? Well, there are. The most important, and really only, clue is that the clue recipient cannot look up any of the clues. This is especially important given the wonderful ease of using google. Believe me, the temptation is strong, but it takes some of the fun out of it if you discover the destination before hand, a fact I found out accidentally after telling my site mate, Margie, clue #11 (the country was the largest producer of cork), who had just read that little tidbit and so promptly told me the answer. So, to those of you at home, you may look up clues to your heart's content, but no telling David!
Second clue: Mystery vacation destination will shortly hold its annual crane festival.
