Hello all,

I will be in Spain from June 3 - June 27. Would anyone like to meet during those times? I so, send me an E-mail.

Thanks,

I am going to Greece for 3 weeks! half the time with my boyfriend, then I have the other half to myself. Taking 3 weeks in a row is a BIG no-no in my company but I'm an overworked girl and I do get the paid vacation time so I'm going to do it anyway. That's why I envy Europeans - a lot of them get a month off at once! 13 days and counting...

Maybe over Thanksgiving I'll do Barcelona and northern Spain.

Chicagoan, you're right about vacation times being too short--I'll vote for any political candidate who will propose legislation to give American workers 4-6 weeks of vacation a year!!!!!! We're so far behind the rest of the world in recognizing that worker productivity is not destroyed by giving workers time to recharge their batteries!

I'm planning on going to Madrid in August... I haven't been to Europe during this month. What can I expect for the weather. Last summer, I was dying when it was an unbelievable 103 degrees! :o By the way, this really isn't my first post... I lost my status also, I've been demoted to junior member... Madridman, is there anything you can do to bring back my old account with my private messages????

Roses, even though statistics say that July is the warmest month, I can't give you hope: August will be warm (specially the first half) and warm means from 28-40ºC during the day. My approach solution: sleep the day, switch into nightlife...

Tara and Chicagoan, I echo your sentiments about the vacation time, or lack thereof! Being in Spain for 11 days! 11 days! GAWD! I had an awesome time, but wished I could have extended it for a another week or two! In my dreams, right?

Summer travel plans? Minnesota for a week and a half, maybe visit Austin, TX and San Diego, CA. Who knows? I sense lots of travel in my near future....Maybe Spain for a few days?

Summer in home town of Edinburgh (festival hell ) and then week somewhere cheap and hot.

But in November - MADRID

My husband and I both happen to be teachers, so we take the summer off. We are house exchanging (again) in Biarritz (2 weeks, much of which will be spent in the Spanish Basque country, in addition to the French side) and 3 weeks in Pechon, near Santander. A few days here and there in Madrid and Bilbao. Yeah, I can't wait.......This will be our third visit to Spain, and, like the rest of you, we wish we could live there for a while....

I'm spending the summer right here in sunny San Diego. My sister's wedding messed up my June Spain travel plans. My hubby's going home (Madrid) for a quick visit with his family in July, and then in December we are both going!!!
This time has been a really long wait for me to get back (a year and a half), only 8 more long, agonizing months of waiting to return.

Back to Spain for 17 days in September (end of summer but can't wait ).

This times it's Barcelona and the remainder of Northern Spain (less Galicia since I just got back) including Burgos and Leon.
