Have a great time. We went to England and Spain last year. We visited my cousin in England and our son in Spain (he was in the Navy). They were great. We definitely want to go back to England.

Shame you are not coming to England you could have come to visit me. Enjoy your time in Europe

I will be meeting with board member Pinot in France. It is kind of scary when I think about the difference in the dollar and the euro, but we will just make the best of it and save where we can!
Cannyquilter, my daughter will be going to Ireland in January for a semester of study abroad. She wants me to come during her 2 week spring break and do some traveling. We are thinking about Ireland, Scotland and England so you never know!

I live in the north of England about 50 miles from the border with Scotland, approx 90 miles from Edinburgh. A friend works with a girl from Canada and when her parents came to visit we took them out for a day into the Northumberland countryside and coast. We went to Alnwick which if you are a fan Harry Potter was filmed in the castle. I also have a caravan on the coast close to Bamburgh Castle, that was featured in the film, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, so if you decide to come over this way let me know and I can make sure that as well as the obvious touristy place I can take you to some off the beaten track beauty spots. Enjoy your visit.

I will definitely keep your offer in mind. I probably won't decide about that trip until closer to the end of the year. It may depend on if I have any money left after this trip!!! Thanks!
