Pack Your Bags!

People tell me that every time they open Pack Your Bags! they discover something they never knew was there. If you like the mystery of stumbling across something new, then perhaps you don't want to read this entry. But if you want to know where all the "goodies" are hidden on the CD-ROM (or maybe you already found them, but just can't remember where), then you'll love what I'm about to share ... where to find all the hidden audio, video, and other 'Easter egg' bonuses! (But I won't tell you how to find the 'Easter eggs' ... to learn that, you'll just have to take the Pack Your Bags! tour, either online or on the CD itself.)
