Any other great disussion forums for Europe?
i've found this discussion forum great for planning our first trip to europe this summer- our honeymoon. does anyone else know of any other good forums and their URL's? the only other one i've found is the eurotrip one which is good, but i like the fodor's format better. looking for cheap eats in paris and good eats all over italy. thanks.

The most interesting one I follow is the Lonely Planet site. It's at www.lonelyplanet.com
When you get to it, go to the Thorn Tree, and click on Europe on the map. It generally caters for independent budget travel, but you can get answers to most questions from someone.

Frommer's is good too. www.frommers.com -- click on travel message boards and then on "been there, done that". Set up a lot like fodors, but not broken down into different continents.
For the best eating experiences in Italy get Fred Plotkin's "Italy for the Gourmet Traveler" -- it has no equal on the subject. 700 pages, but worth carrying if you take no other guide with you. Packed with regional information, food stores, outdoor market schedules, etc. A must.

The Utne Reader sponsors a discussion forum called Cafe Utne. Within the Cafe you'll find a travel conference - it's a great place to 'meet' experienced travellers and get advice. There are certainly already-existing topics which can help you or you can start a topic of your own. You'll have to register to get in, however (doesn't cost anything, doesn't generate unwanted email).

Try www.expedia.msnbc.com You have to register there too. Good airfare , hotel, and rental car pricing site, and the BB's are under communication, and somewhat complicated to use.
