     However, Masei only lists 41 masa'os. 
===============
I counted them.  41 plus Arvos Moav - making it 42. And before anyone says
that Arvos Moav shouldn't be counted - ayen the last Rashi in Pekudei.
Nice piece all about this in the Pardes Yosef Hachodosh (from where I took
most of what i am writing here)


Addendum: Divrei Yoel al HaTorah (by the SR zt'l) asks this (plus another
15-20 questions on this topic).
And BTW, he mention sthat the meforshei rashi also ask this question..

1) There are only 41 maso'os mentioned and 2) "Vaysu meRaamses is mentioned
twice. Why?

One of his explanations is citing the Targum Yonoson on 'Vo'eso es'chem al
kanfei nesharim' - that the clouds carried the bnei yisroel from 
Raamses to the makom hamikdash where they ate the korban Pesach and then
returned them to Raamses.

Therefore there were actully 2 maso'os leaving Raamses - making a total of
42 maso'os.



BTW the PYH asks beshem "Ari bemistorim" (no idea) how come the maso'os of
parshas Chukas are not listed here?
==
And I have found who the Ari bemistorim is. 
Written by a son of the late Gerrer rebbe [the Pnei Menachem], Reb Yehuda
Aryeh Alter z'l (SIL of RM Klein) who was tragically killed in a traffic
accident many years ago.

BTW the DY also writes: "raui lehavin mi nasan shemos lemekomos
halalu...midbar tziyeh ushemama, velo avar bo ish me'olom..."
