Hi kit,

I'm very fond of Barcelona, spent many an hour there at various times, hope you have a great time.


Thanks!

What are you going to do in London? That sounds awfully fun also! smile.gif

I'm not sure yet - we have friends who live there, so we're going to stay with them for the weekend, we usually make it up as we go along or make a plan on the day with them.

We haven't seen them for a couple of months though, I'm really looking forward to it.

Where are you going in April?

Oh, fun Louise! You 2 will have a great time. smile.gif I'll look for you when I watch New Year's Rockin' Eve or whatever it's called.

Sounds like a nice time in London...those spontaneous wkends can be the best!

In April, we fly into London (the 4 of us all used our miles and that's the only place we could use them during Spring Break), then we take the train to Calais, France, rent a car and drive north through Bruges up to Amsterdam...then trek back and fly back from London.

That sounds like an excellent trip - hope you have fun. I'm going to Morocco during spring break, can't wait.
