When returning from holiday, one starts to think of holidays

By 'south of the Rio Grande', I mean 'into Mexico' rather than 'anywhere south of 31N' - I thought this was standard usage, but various of my friends in Cambridge interpreted it the other way.

I got Vienna airport in my last passport by smiling sweetly and saying "Please may I have a stamp?" when I went through passport control.

This resulted in a BIG sigh and rummaging around in his bag for the stamps (it was an EU queue so I guess I was the first that day and that it was generally uncommon but common enough for them to have stamps). But no actual "Why do you want that stamp?" type of questions.

I didn't get a stamp for Poland, nor Norway, nor Switzerland. Given that I crossed the Swiss-French border twice a day for a few months, that would have very quickly filled up my passport if I had :-).
