Where are you going???
 
I thought I would throw this general question out there. What countries/cities are you planning on visiting in the coming new year?

Amy Dec 17th, 2002 05:10 PM

I'll be starting the New Year in Vancouver...<BR>I thought it was about time for me to get to Canada!<BR>After that, no major trips until the summer, when I'm tentatively planning on a two week visit to Austria (staying in a home in a mountain village) and dreaming about the possibility of revisiting Russia (if I can make my vacation time stretch far enough.)

Connie Dec 17th, 2002 05:39 PM

We are giving our 8 year old son a trip to Europe for Christmas and we are letting him plan the trip. It's going to be an amusement park trip. We're thinking he'll want to go to Tivoli and Lego Land in Copenhagen and Possibly Disney in Paris (I will try to talk him out of this!!) But it's his present so we'll see how we do! Possibly Stockholm, they have an amusement park, but I don't know the name of it.

BOB THE NAVIGATOR Dec 18th, 2002 07:51 AM

Hmmm SA, <BR>Amelia Island as a featured destination is interesting. Where are you staying?<BR>I live here.

SA Dec 18th, 2002 08:23 AM

Bob - We go there every year for New Years. W/the new baby we are renting a cottage on the beach this year but have stayed in nearly every B &amp; B on the island over time. Fernandina Beach is more accurate but no one knows where that is. We hang out in the Florida House quite a bit when we're there. It's too bad Jim the bartender left.

Connie - if your son likes amusement parks, how about the Prater in Vienna? Absolutely wonderful, as is the Vienna Zoo.

Spending June 9-15 in Greece visiting Athens, Nafplion, Mycenae, Corinth, Epidaurus, Olympia, and Delphi.<BR>June 16-24 in Italy visiting Rome, Orvieto, Lucca, Florence, Pisa, Arezzo, San Sepolcro, Perugia, Asisi, Todi, and Siena. <BR><BR>Yes it's a tour, which often has bad connotations, but its being led by my uncle who's an art history professor and knows every in and out in Italy, plus I'm getting 3 hours graduate credit.

CharlieB Dec 19th, 2002 12:54 PM

Sorry, but this year will be a NO GO, as I am retired and my funding has evaporated!
