Hello: I've been lurking (and learning) for a couple of years now. I have a question for the list -- if you prefer, respond off-list. If you had enough frequent flier miles for two or three trips pretty much anywhere in the world most major airlines fly, which beaches would you choose for shelling? (For personal reasons, I only collect dead beach specimens.) I would even subdivide the question -- which beaches in countries that permit personal export of dead shells in reasonable small quantities, and which beaches where one would have to look but not take. Thank you very much.
