Thanks Fred. Travelling before you are too old to be able to enjoy it is the main reason that we do so many trips now. Fortunately I am still in my 60's (barely) so we should have a few good years left.

The showcase in the antique mall next to mine just became available so I took it also. Now I just have to sell more stuff to pay for the trips. To start loading it up I decided to use mainly the sterling silver stuff since I have about 15 pounds of it to get rid of yet. I have so much of it that I don't even look at silver when at the estate sales. My problem is that I think I am becoming addicted to buying gold. I spent over $1000 on it last week. Of course I could scrap it for about $2000 so I guess it is ok.
