WELCOME BACK MARIBEL!!!
 

I was SO HAPPY to see your post today. You have given the most incredible advise in the past and I'm so glad you're back! (Not that other people haven't given great advise here--they have, but I missed you.) I still am greatful for your suggestions for our last trip to Spain, and once we get our daughter off to Italy next week, I'm going to probably have questions for our next one in May. So glad you're back.

P.S. For those who aren't familiar with them, your guides have been incredibly helpful as well (maribelsguides.com).

Thanks again,
Paula

Yes! Welcome back home to Fodor's! You have been missed! We used your advice in Barcelona last summer, and it was an incredible help to us! Here's hoping to read many more of you wonderful suggestions! Great to see you posting again!

Yes, welcome back! You helped to make our trip to Andalucia last fall wonderful and I'm happy to have the opportunity to thank you!

It is so good to see you here again.
You were an incredible source of information for all of us in such a kind gentle manner.

To Artlover, wren, mamc, tondalay and all,
Thank you very, very much for such an incredibly generous and warm welcome back into the fold. I've deeply appreciated (more than I can express) all of your well wishes here (maria and Amy have very kindly passed them on to me) and the greetings that you've sent to me on the web page.
I've missed "talking" to you all very much in the past year. It's good to be back, thank you all so much for your support, and I hope to be able to help out where and when I can.
Un saludo,
Maribel

Maribel, you were sorely missed and mentioned often when posters asked for information on Spain. Thank you for setting up your website to share to your knowledge, experience and love of Spain. As I have said before, you are my FIRST and BEST resource for planning a trip to Spain. You are better th

OPPPS ...

You are better than any guidebook.

Welcome back!

Warmest regards Ger

Oh, yes. Welcome back. I am also delighted to see you are back. Your fine input made such a difference during our 2004 trip. Your guides were like having our very own insider's tour everywhere we went. Ray and I are forever indebted to your generosity.

Maribel, I am so very happy to see you posted again. We missed you more than words can say, and I think it's wonderful that you're back with us now!

I would just like to echo everyone's sentiments. You have been so incredibly helpful and informative, a major part of our Spanish plans for June. Thank you in advance.

The world is right again !

Maribel,
I am so glad you now feel that you are able to get back to the business of travel and helping others.

I can't imagine what you've gone through but I'm sure you had a very difficult time.

Welcome back!!!!

Thank you for all of your help in the planning of our twice aborted (9/26/01 and again cancelled the following year due to illness) trip to Spain.

We finally made it last spring and had pages of your guides printed out for on-the-spot reference.

Thanks again and welcome back.

Maribel, Mareibel. I've not been on line for awhile but to return to see you and this nice thread for you warmed my heart and made my small problems disappear.

Welcome back Maribel!!!
:-)

What a pleasant surprise to find Maribel back on Fodors!

I was sooo amazed when Maribel replied in such wonderful detail to my itinerary thread this week. I had read lots of her old posts but nothing beats her personal touch!

Maribel, mil gracias una vez mas.

Maribel,
I also was lucky enough to use your fabulous guides and incredibly detailed responses in planning our trip to Spain last spring. Like so may others, I have missed your great responses and your boundless knowledge about that great country. Welcome back.

It sure was a great surprise to me! I had just mentioned her in a post and next thing I know, there she was , posting! It made my day!

Maribel, you've been a heaven-sent several years ago when I traveled to Madrid and Barcelona. I'm absolutely delighted you're back. Hope all's well.
