Khatt, it's looking like we will have a little time in London. Thanks for your offer and I'll PM with more details later.

Skipjack, thanks for your kind words. I 'm  enjoying the CD you  gave me, too, so much!!   I would love to visit Hull, but don't know if it can happen this trip. How far is Hull from London? 

Moo, thanks so much for your suggestions and your invite. If we can get Brussels on our itinerary, I'll be sure to send you a PM.

Alanabit, do you live in Cologne?

Wilfried, I don't expect we'll get to Frankfurt this time. We are flying in and out of Munich, though. 

Garg, not completely new to travel, just not very familiar with Europe.  This opportunity has come up fairly recently, and we're trying to coordinate with someone who's already over there. Can't go in the spring, but appreciate your suggestions, especially the one about not trying to cover too much ground. Makes sense. 

George, Chesham, eh? I'll have to check it out!

Thanks again, everyone, for your thoughts! I wish you could all come along!!

KT
