 Hi ! just one more qustion. If I wrote " Well, Guess what . we are off to Europe for 15 days. I have always wanted to gpo there and now we are getting the opportunity.Can´t wait." 
 with Guess what without an exclamation mark and analizing the whole sentence would that still sound bored?

 Is there any difference if I say:   We are off to Europe for 15 days. Can´t wait. / We are off to Rurope for 15 days. Can´t wait ! 
 does the use of the exclamation mark make any difference ? 
 thanks</description></item></channel></rss>
