I can't begin to tell you how much fun it has been reading the forum this week! Lots of wonderful travelogues and fantastic photos ! To top it off I got a phone call this evening from some friends we met on our 2004 trip. They are going to be in town in 3 weeks ! That should be a great visit. Plus we get to see all the great pictures they took on our trip.
Mark D, enjoy your friends' visit and photos from the trip.
I have a bottle of Mead I bought in Ireland which I'm saving for a special occasion. I'm not sure whether I'll share it with friends, or hog it all to myself!
I'm having a ball reading all the trip reports myself. After all the questions and planning it is so nice to see the final results and hear all the details. I guess it is our reward for helping with the pre-trip plans!
Spread the word that the forum has some excellent budding authors!
