A New Challenge

To me traveling is what makes life worth living.  Recently, I read a travel related article about a woman's self-imposed challenge to visit 26 countries all starting with one of the letter's in the alphabet.  I am always up for a new challenge, so I have decided to make it my goal too!  Below is a list of the countries I have already visited.  Looks like I have 11 letters left; D, E, K, L, O, Q, R, W, X, Y, and Z.  Does anyone have any recommendations for me?  I would love to make it to all 11 places by the time I am 30.  That gives me just about 4 years...

B- Bahamas, Bolivia

    I love this challenge! I may have to take it on, too. Nicaragua sounds awesome (even though I was not a fan of Guat at all!)--I really want to go to Corn Island.

    Wait, but how on Earth are we going to get X??? There's no such thing, is there?

    Also, looks like Oman and Qatar will have to be our O and Q, as they're essentially the only ones =)
