Trying to make a plan to join, will keep you posted

I really want to do this - even if it is expensive.  Not only do I want to meet everyone, but I thin an overseas trip on my own could be very therapeutic for a co-dependant LBS like me ;D

Hugs

Tiffany, I totally agree.  There is something incredibly liberating about making a SOLO trip out of home country.  Do it if you can possibly swing it honey....

Going to be a fun experience...

If you want some information about Porto, Portugal, it's cuisine, and culture (including the Port wine cellars), can I suggest the following:

I wrote this last evening but somehow it didn't get posted. Just wondering if there is anybody who would like to "play " a bit. If I can get airline points to get me there, I should arrive Oct. 17 and I don't have a date really when I need to be back home.

I was thinking of travelling in Portugal and perhaps Spain...Mermaid suggested either taking the train or perhaps renting a car.

If anyone else is interested in doing some touring please let me know as I shall try and get this booked soon.

Looking forward to this!

Would it be crazy to consider some combination of Porto, Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona and back to Porto?
 
I really want to go to Barcelona

There are really cheap flights from Toronto to Porto but usually you have to start and end at the same destination.

I'd love to arrange some kind of bus tour to do this type of trip. Any of you Europeans knowledgable about what might work? Or a specific tour compnay?
