Selena

We are going to Amsterdam, then Spain from Sept.20-Oct.11<BR>It will be our first time in Spain. We have been to Amsterdam before and love that city.<BR>I cant wait !!!

Dawn

September 14 through 28 on my honeymoon in France (St. Paul de Vence, St. Tropez, St. Remy, Loire Valley and Paris)<BR><BR>That is all I have planned thus far.

Vita

I'm thinking either Spain, Peru, or Mexico. Regardless (irregardless? whatever), I'll need to start brushing up on my espanol. Not easy after internalizing Italian pronunciation.<BR><BR>Depending on when I go, I might squeeze in another trip to Rome in November. It's only been a couple of days but my heart is aching for Rome.

Gina

Sounds like you've got a lot planned so far, Dawn!<BR>I'm off to Toronto for 4 days in May and then a long hot summer before heading to Italy (Florence &amp; Cinque Terre) for the first week of October. That's all for 2003, but plan a week in Paris in the spring of 2004. Just wish I could afford to go across the pond more often!

Patrick

Flying to New York for three nights at the end of May before taking a DAY flight to London.<BR>London: 15 nights in rental flat<BR>Fly to Berlin: 5 nights<BR>Leipzig: 3 nights (day to Dresden)<BR>Garmisch: 5 nights<BR>Munich: 4 nights<BR>Stuttgart: 3 nights<BR>Basel: 2 nights<BR>Weggis: 3 nights<BR>Poschiavo: 3 nights<BR>Chur: 4 nights<BR>Saas Fee: 3 nights<BR>Gstaad: 4 nights<BR>Montreux: 3 nights<BR>Paris: 7 nights<BR><BR>Will then fly home on August 3, take a 10 day breather, then fly to California for friends.

Monica

My BIG trip for 2003 will be to China! I'm very excited and looking forward to new experiences. Will be traveling alone but am sure I'll meet some great people on the tour.

BOB THE NAVIGATOR

Central Spain to include Segovia,Avila, and Salamnaca over Holy Week. Hope to hit Palm Sunday in Segovia and Easter Saturday in Ciudad Rodrigo--thanks to the tip from our resident Spain expert, Maribel. The 2nd week I will be doing a program for English speakers for Spanish executives in Barco de Avila. It will be the 4th time we have spent Holy week in Spain, Italy or Portugal.

nancy

2 weeks in Malta with an additional 5 days in Sicily, all in April. Since I've planned (and paid for a bit of this trip) I'm usually on to planning my next trip for Fall. But, haven't come up with anything yet. I want to go on Patrick's trip!!

Danie

Hi<BR>January, a trip to NYC to visit our son. <BR>April two weeks in Spain. July Oregon, September China. Have not planned the china trip yet, but it's on the calendar. Happy trails everyone

Leslie

16 days in Spain in the middle of March to include Madrid, Toledo, Segovia, El Escorial, Avila, Seville, Cordoba, Granada and Barcelona.<BR><BR>Possibly, 10 days in Turkey in May or else 10 days in St. Petersburg and Moscow in June.<BR><BR>2 weeks in Poland in early October.<BR><BR>Most likely, 3 days in London over Thanksgiving.<BR><BR>If I don't any of the above 3, then there's a chance of a 3 week trip to China, Hong Kong and Bangkok at the beginning of November, but I'm uneasy about flying 22 hours at one shot. There aren't enough drugs to keep me comatose for that long a flight.<BR><BR>A trip with a friend between Christmas and New Year's, but the location hasn't been decided. Up for grabs are Paris, Brugges and Ghent, Amsterdam, Venice, Prague and Dresden. It will at least be a combination of these locations.<BR><BR>3-day weekends in NYC, Savannah or Charleston, and Montreal.<BR><BR>

Sometime in May a week in Paris- with possibly day trips to the Chateau country and Giverney.<BR>The fall itinerary is still in the planning stage. Perhaps Spain

????How???

Yowee, how do you all do it? Dawn, Anna, are you guys just rich or what? If I'm lucky, I get a 2 or 3 week trip every few years, but how the heck can you pick up and go like that??? Don't you all have jobs to go to and bills to pay????

Katherine

2003 will be the year that I tour my own country the good ole USA. I am planning a good old fashioned road trip.
