Please don't let a small number of immature people hurt you both, because there are many more of us who have gained much knowledge for our trips through this forum and maybe we don't express our thanks enough. So.. thank you many times over.

I have always truly enjoyed Elviras posts and Donnas too. The Falcon criticized that they see Europe through "rose colored glasses". I have talked to relatives and others who are always disappointed when they go to Europe because they go with unreasonable expectations. We have been 3 times and loved each one, even in adverstity (car towed in Florence with all luggage, car battery dies in heart of Paris). You find the positive things where ever you go and enjoy the people and the history. No Elvira is looking though rose colored glasses, she a good planner who is enjoying life.

I've been following this forum for over 2 years, in my little spare time, and I still can't figure out why people waste energy on negative comments. I both post questions and try to answer/opinionate to those who are truly looking for advice. I believe that most posters are like me who gather a great amount of research from various sources in order to form a judgement what is best for THEM. Maybe not everyone wants feels comfortable traveling Europe independently and would rather seek a group tour; or prefer Rome over Paris. Diversity is what makes this forum so great. I just wish repliers would phrase their negativeity as an opinion trying to help a fellow traveler rather than as a personal attack. THat being said, I find Elvira's postings hysterical.
