"Have you scheme of active to Cape Verde?" the voyage causal agency asked. I fishy more than in despair than hope, having had us deciding a cipher of otherwise destinations.

Now I would with confidence deciding the geographics questions in the pub quiz, but I would have been material possession the squad low if asked wherever Cape Verde is!

"No. Where is it?"

"I am not confident either; I will have to stare it up." So the rep didn't cognize either!
