I have been to Europe several times since 1994 when I took my daughter to Greece. Since then I have taken 3 teenage grand daughters. One to Italy, one to Spain, one to London to Greece. I even took my husband to Greece, Spain and Portugal for our 25th anniversary. He is 60 and I am 70. I have two more grandchildren who graduate HS in 2004 and we are already beginning to plan our trip!!!!!!! This forum has been wonderful help with plans.

Re: the "who cares?" comment, to me, an essential aspect of surviving and going on after what has happened is human connection and community.

59 Saturday. <BR>Just came back from the Isle of Wight, where we have a timeshare that lets us stay there offpeak for free. Did 4 walks in 3 days and a fossil hunt. Only about 28 miles in all though. Plan a lot more walking in the future, as we haven't doen any for a while. <BR> <BR>Doug

34 years old. Took 1st and only trip this past March to London/Paris. Trip of lifetime even tho it was only 4 days! Was able to see things that I still dream about (literally-yes, I know, that is an overused word, but literally still dream about Paris). Can't wait 'til next trip even tho I have NO idea when I will be able to go.<BR>Ah me.

Hi--I am 34. No trip planned (sigh...) but tonight I will dream about the Amalfi Coast.

I am 28 1/2 and doing research to plan my month-long backpacking trip for my 30th b-day! Normally I wouldn't be so excited about that 1/2 birthday, but I am looking forward to the big 3-0 because it means ringing it in while travelling through Europe! :)
