Greendragon,

Our trip (my sister, brother-in-law & I) will be August 1-16. We're staying in Dunblane the first week and Portree the second. How about you?

In a few weeks I'm heading down to visit my house in SC and in early October I'm heading to Colorado and New Mexico! I just came up with the plan the other night and I've already put it into action. More Balloon Fiesta photos, some national parks photos, some Rockies, this will be fun!

Alas, we shall not meet then. we'll be going June 13 through July 6th, doing a 'highlands and islands' sort of thing. Edinburgh - Inverness - Orkney - Isle of Lewis - Isle of Skye - Isle of Mull - Glasgow. 9 people. Am I insane??? :) Three nights each in each place. Me, husband, parents, and 5 girlfriends (we all used to be singing wenches together in the ren faire) :)

We are leaving for four weeks in France in 28 days! We started counting at 376 days! OMG! It's really happening. It has felt like such a dream for so long. Reality is kickin' in...

emh

Greendragon, You'll be back before we leave, so you'll have to let us know the details.

And I now have plans for another trip, this time to Lisbon - over Thanksgiving week.

leaving on Sept 5 for Brugge, Antwerp, Paris and Amsterdam. Our 2nd trip to Paris, and first time with the rest! Airfares, hotels, trains are all set! Looking forward to a more relaxing trip this time. I am so excited!!

31 days and we leave for 4 weeks in France, 3 days in Brugge and 3 days in Amsterdam.

Time is going sooo sloooow!

Hi flygirl
We will be in Florence in Oct and I am looking for hotels the Il villino is already booked. do you have a recommendation for a hotel in Florence price range 100 to 130 euros?

29 days until I MOVE to Istanbul...if my parents don't kill me first!! Can't wait!

Heading for Praiano on the Amalfi Coast,late September and can't wait :)

55 days until Rome. And I got my Scavi confirmation this morning! All my Context Rome tours are booked and all that is left is my limo from airport. Yay!!!

I was just thinking of topping this.

30 days until my CO and NM trip... and 73 days until Portugal!

Amy, right on! I got your email - sounds like you are going to be the new Rome expert afterwards. Context Rome is great, you will really like them.

llorac, I just saw your post. I don't, alas. The Antica Torre runs 250E a night, the Albergotto runs roughly the same. I really recommend them though!

As of today (9/5/07), 1:43 p.m. CDT, the countdown goes like this:

4 weeks, 2 hours, 27 minutes until my Air France flight departs Houston Intercontinental Airport for Paris.

I'm spending 4 nights in Paris, 3 nights in Chamonix, 7 nights in St. Remy and another 3 nights in Paris.

Ooooh la la, I am so ready!

2 days

9/7...off to Iceland and Amsterdam. :-D

Can't wait!!!

llorac,

you might try the Hotel Pitti Palace ..145 € includes breakfast. Really good location right at the foot of the Ponte Vecchio

I leave in 48 days for 8 nights in Rome followed by 7 nights in Paris. It will be my second visit to both. I can't wait!!!

I leave in 8 months but it's never to early to plan. Milan, Lake Como, Verona, Venice, Salzburg, Vienna. 21 fantastic days.

13 days, 16 hours until hubby and I leave for our 11-day trip to Paris celebrating our 10th anniversary. It's been a long time coming...we booked this trip in March and since then, have almost had to cancel due to a family illness in April (which unfortunately became a death) and then a relocation from WA to CA a few weeks ago. We've got a hotel booked, Hotel Henri IV Rive Gauche, which we stayed at last time and liked, but are still trying to find an apartment in the 6th where there's better access to cafes, etc (yes, we know it's rugby world cup, but are trying anyway!) See my other post today if you'd like to weigh in:

Thanks!

We leave for Paris on October the 13th,(third time there but last time was 4 years ago) have 6 days there then a few days in Rome, then Florence then Venice,then the LONG flight back to Tasmania. We have all the flights, trains, hotels etc booked, still waiting to get the tickets for the Borghese in Rome, hope we don't miss out as that is the main reason for visiting Rome this time but tickets are not available until 13th September - that is the one down side so far!
