I have also been to all of the places you just listed, Kendall. THis will be my 13th trip to the beautiful UK and have been pretty much throughout the country except Yorkshire and Kent. I enjoyed reading the great responses from everyone and in fact, most of the places bear return visits. I am intrigued by the Isle of Purbeck as mentioned by the Snail. I may have to give that a thought. I absolutely love the New Forest. THanks everyone.

As to my trip to ROmania, I am concentrating on Maramures, the far north of Transylvania bordering Ukraine. Supposedly the only remaining Peasant economy culture etc. The lifestyle in the remote villages are pretty much self sustaining by barter. If anyone has a chance, google this area and see the mazing wooden churches etc. I will report back after the trip. Thanks again   jimmyt
