WORLD
CALENDAR FOR 2007
I've
put together a list of public holidays around the world to help you travellers keep in touch with when things are happening and remind you not to forget
Mother's Day.
Things
tend to close down in Oz on public holidays, particularly out Whoop Whoop way
and further a field so write these dates down and don't get caught out.
