the lady is giving a travel report let's not turn this into a snotty debate. We are a travel forum and not a who's got or did something better.

Amen.

My apologies to all

:)

I'm enjoying StCirq's vacation tales.

What's not to like :)

I always enjoy a good trip report!

Stcirq, please don't stop reporting. I am hooked. I look forward to it each morning with my cup of strong coffee. BTW, did I miss #6?

We get plenty of trip reports that hit all the major tourist attractions...I love to read about locations, markets, restaurants from someone who has already knocked the tourist sites off her list. Just gives another perspective. Don't stop!

I will leave it that my children went to socially acceptable colleges without putting up the name. There are 100's of socially acceptable colleges and universitites in the US that give a willing student excellent educations. Mine went to a major state university where I was well satisfied both in their educations and the price. They are launched, on their own, and I can travel without children. Hooray!

StCirq said she would not have internet access on Ile d'Oleron, so I would expect a hiatus in these reports until she returns to her home base.

topping... to "track" with the other parts.

Best wishes,

Rex
