Well, this is just my *personal* favorite, but back in June or so I started a thread asking for advice on my plans for an August trip to England and Ireland. Reading the many posts and responding to them, both within the thread and via "PM," was a highlight of my year.

I received plenty of good wishes, lots of food for thought, and more information than I could possibly have put to use during an only-too-brief two-week journey.

I have been terribly remiss in not reporting back to everyone who was so helpful and supportive. However, I still intend to post my journal/recap for you whenever I find the time. So, if you see a thread entitled "England/Ireland in August: Advice?," that'll be me, refreshing this old thread for one last time. The "August" in question, of course, being 8/03, not the upcoming August of 2004.
