just returned from a 6 week budget driving tour through Ireland, Scotland, England, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Spain and Portugal. if you need any information, I would be glad to help if I can. <BR>Tess

Hi Tess, Thanks for your offer to share information on your recent tour. Very shortly (Sunday) I'm heading for southern Spain. My friend and I hope to drive in and about southern Spain and southern Portugal. Any tips on "don't miss" or "don't bother", favorite accommodations, etc. Thanks. <BR>

<BR>Thanks Tess. What can you share about Belgium. I'm finding personal experiences are not what they are when asking about other countries. Will visit Belgium in early May. Thanks.

Tess, I'd be interested in some suggestions of budget accomodations in Spain & Portugal. Thanks for your offer to share advice. Sounds like a great trip you had. I'm jealous!

Hi Tess, <BR>I'd be interested in your Belgium experiences. We'll be traveling there in September. Can we get around using only the train and buses? Are the tourist information offices helpful in finding hotels or B&B's, and which type should we lean toward? Thanks!

Hi, Tess. <BR>Thanks so much for your offer to share info. I'm going to be in Amsterdam for one night and am looking for a ** hotel ($60-80 range). Do you have any suggestions? <BR>Miray
