I spent hours on here asking for and receiving help on our 3 week trip to Italy which we just returned from.

I just wanted to say thanks to all of you who took the time to respond to all my questions.

We had a wonderful time ... your hints were really appreciated.

Fodor's is chock-a-block with great information, great friendship and wonderful advice.

As gem has written and I concur:

You all have helped me immensely and I sincerely hope something I have written along the way has helped some of you.

Thanks, gem. So many people don't take the time to adknowledge and appreciate. Thank you for this important post!

Glad you had a great time Gem.

I would like to add my thanks to all the posters who helped so much with our recent trip to London Swizerland and Germany (with daytrips into France and Italy).

We too had a wonderful time and I'll echo Gem in saying,your hints were really appreciated.

Well, I'm glad you enjoyed your trip, but we want a detailed trip report!

Hi gemini (me too!) - you are so right, this is the most helpful site I've used (and I look at quite a few of the travel sites). I have received great tips here and have tried to 'pay it back' when I can. How appropriate to give thanks at this time (for us in the US) of year. Thanks!
