BOB--- you remain thru the years one of the best, most knowledgeable and trusted sources of travel info in this forum. If Bob recommends it, take it for a fact that he have been there and therefore, knows what he is talking about! For my 1999 trip to Portugal I was so glad to followed his advice. It was a memorable trip. I can only wish lots of goog blessings upon him and his family for all the kindness. Tons of great people in this forum; Ben, Maribel (what a pro!), Elaine, to name a few. Their posts are always so giving and encouraging!!

first to you, Bbookchick, my prayers are with you that all will be well.<BR>And to Bob the navigator like ben Haines, makes us feel we should travel where they have been because of their wonderful attitudes. As for you Beatchick, Have a wonderful time, as I read you will be going next week?<BR>

My dear friend, Cigalechanta, I am going in 2 weeks!! You still want me to bring back a Poilane bag for you?

You are very welcome Fluffy. I hope it all works well for you--I am just a romantic at heart and a sucker for honeymoons.
