I'm one of the lucky few who have had the privilege of lunching with Elvira. She described herself and her attire so we'd spot her. We passed the info on to the host at the restaurant, and let's just say, that he had no problem immediately making a positive identification upon her arrival and he whisked her promptly to our table. Elvira, have I said too much? As to the physical descriptions of the others we can only guess!! But we sure had a lot of laughs over lunch that day, till they kicked us out to set up for dinner!

Is this the thread you are looking for?

So, where is Elvira lately? I haven't seen her post anything in a long time. Is she still a Fodorite? I always enjoyed her writing.

she is around, quietly adding good tips here and there where needed, I want her to take another trip, I need something good to read!

I hear from good authority that she is indeed planning a trip for this Fall and have been forewarned to travel in a country practically halfway 'round the world (I suppose so that I don't get trampled in the Loon scuffle). So we may have only 6 months to wait for a Loon report? Sigh!<BR><BR>I, too, wish to be a loon (well, at least not an UNOFFICIAL one). ; )

HI ~MARY~My husband often says that I am "loony" so joining the Loons seems like a natural progression,don't you think?<BR>It is raw and windy and wet here and sleet is tapping on the windows, here I sit, reading about trips to Paris, Italy, oh boy...am I getting the travel bug, bad!

Is a Traveling Loons trip the same as a Fodorites trip?<BR><BR>Is soliciting for one any more appropriate than the other, here on this forum?<BR>

Oh Please, Elsewhere! You obviously fail the test. Give it up and go elsewhere!

No elsewhere-you need to look up the Clueless Trip

Hi~Candice~I think you would make a great Loon.<BR><BR>So when do you get to go on your next trip, C?<BR><BR>It is rainy, windy, blustering here. Blah. And all I can think about is how far away April is. It will probably be rainy, windy and blustery in Paris, too, but it will be Paris. Ahhh. Lunacy abounds.

I wanna be a Loon!

Topping for Iregeo.

&quot;Well knock me down and call me Shirley&quot;

PLEASE...I WANT TO BE A LOON!!! Where can I sign up? (Thanks, Beatchick)

Since Rex is planning a trip for Fodorites I thought I would top this so he could use it as a template for interested parties. It will separate the wheat from the chaff! Whaddaya think?

If you're reading MatTaiTom's report, do you think he never saw this post, especially #5?

I think this should be required reading for any first-timers. It should be a refresher course for everyone else.

Thank you Simone

Yes, required reading for everyone before they get on the plane!!
Even if they know how to travel, it is such a giggle!
And if it helps someone find a good bailbondsman, all the better!
