hi there puna. your memory did serve you well. missmadrid is moving to madrid (more specifically el escorial) in january. like you said, she'll be there for as long as possiblle. as for my situation, i'm taking somewhat the same course as her. i too am leaving in early january for madrid and hope to be there for as long as possible, doing whatever i can. we'll see how things fall. she and i are both jumping off a very high cliff. i know not to guarantee myself anything and to expect the worst. to answer your question, yes i hope to still be there in march. this of course is contingent on a million variables so i can't be too definite. if i am there, it would be great to meet up.

p.s i do apologize if i sounded as if i were speaking for missmadrid. unfortunetly her computer access these days is near non-existant. i just wanted to confirm your thought process. i certainly dodn't want to take anyone's place.
