11. Want to drag the S.O. around England and Italy first |

I just got some Christmas money, and donated to get my star so I can check out DU groups. I travel for work also, and for pleasure, so I'd love to be part of a travel group. :-)

get outta here. I mean it.

I haven't had a vacation in a decade, so travel is only a matter of occasional business for me. Good luck though!

15. Proposed group objectives. Need help! |
|
The travel group would concern itself with everything related to making travel a more enjoyable endeavor as well as allow individuals an opportunity to relate their travel experiences. In addition, I hope we can make some arrangements with individuals and travel firms to enable reduced prices as well as to tailor travel arrangements.
I am situated near the Austrian - German border. I have experience in travel to Spain, Italy, France Austria. Germany, etc.
Please feel free to raise questions and make suggestions.
You have my email address.

There aren't too many good sites on-line for travel; those that do exist are difficult to sort through. I try when I need a recommendation for a hotel or particular area to visit.

20. You might want to note.... |
|
that such a group would bridge the "pond" divide between US DUers and the rest of the world. I'm in Europe, too. I'd enjoy advising a US DUer in travel to parts outside of the US. People like you and me could probably save them $ through recommendations, at the very least.
