Things are better than I had feared they might be. People really have
travel plans. I was afraid that we might be turning into a group of
people who talk about things rather than do things.

Forgive me Sarah: I'm really taken with the way you express your plans
-- "leaning towards few hills"!
I'm not a cyclist, but the routes of Europe's great rivers seem like
reasonable territory -- at least, when those rivers have emerged from
their mountain sources. I know the Loire valley is popular for cycling
tours.

I'm just back from italy (1 week, Rome through tuscany to Pisa, 2 days
work in Monte San Savino).
I've got Barcelona for a stag weekend in July.
I've got a conference in Enschede in August.
I've got Jamaica for a wedding in March.
I've got Australia in the following december for the ashes.
I've got the West Indies after that for the world cup.
All of those are committed, I'm also looking at Thailand/Malaysia or
south africa or somewhere, or indeed somewhere else not really decided
sometime after june. Beyond that, whatever cheap flights I can find
for short trips to Europe, and maybe I'll turn this summer/jamaica
into a RTW deal.

Me too. Over the past couple of years I've made centres in Dinas
Mawddwy, Llanwrtyd Wells, Llanrhaedr-ym-Mochnant in the Berwyn,
Aberystwyth (three times) and explored from there. Loads of day trips
from Bristol, too - to the Black Mountains, Brecon Beacons, Glamorgan
Heritage Coast...struggled to the top of the Sugar Loaf above
Abergavenny in June 2004 and will try Ysgyryd Fawr this year.
I love Wales to bits.

I spent months in Rome, and I still am planning on going back to see
more. Heck, just wandering around after a good meal and plenty of wine

Which is indeed why I refer to it as Wonderful Wales. Last trip there
was on Good Friday - just a day trip from Bristol to the lovely little
church of Partrishow near Abergavenny, with the sacred well of St
Issui down the lane below the church - buzzards circlling in the sky,
a sense of peace and timelessness, golden daffodils blooming in
profusion everywhere and a warm Spring sun on my face.....I travel for
experiences like this.

I have reached my quota of 6 countries in the last 12 months, and am
staying put until I find somewhere I absolutely positively have to go
to. The Caucasus is screaming out to me, as is Iran. Oh, and
apparently the High Atlas mountains in Morocco are well worth
exploring. Then of course there is the Ukraine, but the wife isn't
interested in former USSR countries (these Italians live for good
food, and good food is seldom associated with anyplace that's been
touched by communism). Oh, and there's more parts of the Balkans I
haven't yet seen which are convenient.
No real plans, just itchy feet.

Brno is handy as a base for seeing places around, like the massive
cave system and the old city of Telc. It has nothing like the
hassle of Prague. Also good for classical music if you get there
at the right time - the Janacek opera house runs things in repertory
mainly for Austrian visitors and they're good value (there is another
theatre that does light opera and musicals). Teh Spilberk prison
fortress is something you won't forget in a hurry and it has some
good museums (like the Mendel museum of genetics). I'd have liked
to see a museum devoted to the firearms industry - the Bren gun was
invented there - but there doesn't seem to be one (I don't think
the Czech Republic has a museum devoted to Semtex either).
We got a package deal there with New Millennium, a London-based firm
that did tours to Central and Eastern Europe through the 1990s; you
went by bus from Dover. In Brno they used the Hotel Santon, out by
the artificial lake (end of a tramline, very easy to get into town).
It was built by the Communists as a workers' resort hotel, nothing
fancy but nothing much wrong with it either. New Millennium have
since gone bust but we used them twice and would happily have gone
with them again. Most of their customers were middle-aged people
who had done a lot of travelling before.
Kaliningrad featured in the travel section of a Scottish Sunday
paper (most likely the Herald) a year or two ago. The writer
thought it was a gas, but his idea of fun seemed to be getting
paralytic in a portacabin.

Posting from the USA. I didn't think about the UK for a Christmas
Market tour. Do they have Glühwein, or is that strictly a German
tradition? I've been all over the UK, but never made it to
Manchester, although I've always wanted to see it. Are there
Christmas Markets in Edinburgh as well?

Last year at the end of May I had a week of wonderful weather there
and toured through the Severn Valley, to Llangollen, up to Llandudno,
rode the Blaenau Ffestiniog railway then down through Snowdonia with
no particular place to go. Two years prior I toured up the west coast
and saw Caernarfon and Conwy castles. I will surely return.

Next trip will probably be a short one, though with lots of things to pack
(moving into a new home)... so finances are somehow limited.
But a red light with "LEAVE, NOW." on it is starting to flash in some
recessed part of my head, so options are all open.
BTT; we (I and my gentle Herself) were in Bratislava last summer and found
it a bit of a letdown. But maybe we were looking for the wrong things and
had just passed 10 days of very lazy and self-indulgent Vienna-ing, so
maybe the comparison was unfavorable.

I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.

As I'm visiting both soon, I've certainly read here that Bratislava is
not _that_ interesting. From my own research thus far, it seems like a
place that would interest us at least for the few days we plan to spend
there! I'll certainly report back if I'm bitterly disappointed!

As I'm visiting both soon, I've certainly read here that Bratislava is

there! I'll certainly report back if I'm bitterly disappointed!
