My favourite Place (after Paris)

I LOVE Greece. The Acropolis in Athens is amazing, the people are lovely, it's sooo warm - if not hot! - and the food is quite delicious too. Tzatziki, Greek salads, calamari, spanakopita and then there's ouzo ... ummmmm. Adored both Santorini and Paros. Whole different pace of life there and lots of places to explore, preferrably on four wheel motorbikes.

And on the way home ...

OMG Anna Gully!!! You are amazing! We've just been onto our blog site and found the latest additions! When Rex & I checked out each one we couldn't stop shrieking and laughing with delight! What beautiful websites, and I love the music at L'Entrevue; also picked out where we sat that night for dinner (remember our French friends toasting us every 5mins!). Hotel D'arlatan looked just stunning as did Hotel Royal Saint Michel and I swear it was our chambre in the virtual tour! Thank you so much for that awesome trip down memory lane! Haven't we got some fantastic memories and hopefully we're going to make a heap more!
Welcome on board Tony - it's fantastic to hear from you! Rex & I have just returned from dinner with Roger & Mavis and they have given us some AMAZING ideas for the UK leg of our trip. All sorts of things to talk about when you come over, from Jorvik (pronounced Yorkvik) to Hoarwirthy to Ambleside to Beddgelert to Portmadog (where Portmerion is made) to Ross-on-Wye................!! It all looks so wonderful. They showed us some of their photos, including Rosslyn Chapel, which were just beautiful.
Keep taking those lotto tickets guys!

Welcome Tony

Hey bro, great to hear from you. How does the planning sound to you so far?? Trish and I were thinking you probably won't be able to get away for more than a coupla weeks or so - thought you'd probably be most interested in the cruise with maybe a Spanish or Greek stopover to begin or end the experience. Does that sound right?

Thanks for setting up the link to Rosslyn Chapel Anna - it's awesome! And don't worry, I don't think there will be a lot of time for ABC's; however, I do very much like your idea of ABD'S!!!!!!! I think it goes without saying that Distillerys will be a major part of our travels - or wineries if the climate's warm enough for grapes up there! And I think we'll have to give that brother of ours a jog along eh! Tony if you're reading this, it's time to put your spoke in!
Great news about the latest house sale Philip; just wish my last lotto ticket had been as successful! Have a great weekend, and an awesome Mother's Day Anna!
Love Trish & Rex

Sold another house

Phil sold Lola's house yesterday, so we're getting closer to the cruise! Has another couple in the pipeline that are looking halfway there, so fingers crossed ;-) Haven't had a chance to do any more surfing and check out places ... made ANOTHER blog last night for our Rotary Club. Will see how that goes.

Still haven't heard from Tony - think I'll send him a re-invite, just in case he lost the last one.

Catch ya
xx

Hi Guys

Thanks again Anna & Philip for a fantastic weekend, and also for setting up this great blog! It certainly has us fired up here! I bought a double whammy lotto ticket today, so fingers crossed it's not another contribution to charity!
I was thinking while we're in Edinburgh we should go and visit Rosslyn Chapel - anyone else interested??
Also, I saw on the news this morning that just outside of Seville, a new environmentally friendly power station has been constructed entirely from sheets of mirror! it looked amazing. Predictions are that this will be the way of the future.
Roll on 2010......................
Trish
