I'm Brittany and one day I will own a vacation home in Hawaii. Or Italy. Or Both.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deception_Pass This is an article about the Deception Pass and Deception Pass Bridge that connects Fidalgo Island and Whidbey Island. My grandparents live on Whidbey Island and I cross over the bridge every time I visit them, which is alot. In the description of the bridge there is a link to "Pass Island" but the link directs you to wrong description saying it is located on the Southern Shore of Newfoundland when it is actually in Washington.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alberobello This is about a town called Alberobello on the East Coast of Italy. I have traveled there several times and seen the trulli houses the article talks about. What they don't mention is that the trulli houses are only in the old part of town which is a very small section. The article makes it sound as if the trulli houses are the only part of town.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Missile_Range_Facility This is the Military Base that I lived on Kindergarten through 2nd grade. The article doesn't mention that there is also a residential military site in addition to the missile range.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cricket This is an article about the sport Cricket. I think it would be helpful to note that the International Cricket Council recently put on a tournament in the Caribbean to help raise awareness for the HIV/AIDS epidemic. I think this is a great cause and is noteworthy, my expertise is that I recently did an entire research project on the subject for my Caribbean Societies class.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dachau_concentration_camp This article is about the Dachau concentration camp in Germany. I had the priveledge of visiting this site and the memorial. I think it should be noted that the trees lining the main path down the middle of the camp were planted by the prisoners. You can see that they are still very young trees, which makes the experience all the more important because it wasn't that long ago.

WIKIPEDIA 2- Edit that I would actually do.

News in the Cricket world: Recently the International Cricket Council, UNAIDS and UNICEF teamed up to promote the Unite for Children, Unite against AIDS campaign. "Throughout the two-week tournament, international cricket stars from most of the participating teams, along with Mr. Speed, visited local projects and schools to meet children living with or affected by HIV and AIDS. The visits were not only a treat for the children but also gave the players and officials a chance to learn about the impact of the disease on children and their communities. The cricketers take seriously their role as spokesmen in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Many wore red AIDS-awareness ribbons during the matches, and more than 40 players recorded video messages for a future series of public service announcements intended to fight stigma and discrimination."
