It is a quarterly magazine packed with pictures, articles, poetry, anecdotes, letters and is a sheer delight. Some of my magazines are now more than 20 years old and I can still keep going back and enjoying them over and over again. I hope you will find them as pleasurable as I do. The link to preview the magazine (Winter 2010) is: |

They are now safely in my possession and yes, I too can go back time and again to browse through them. They are treasured possesions, |

I am planning on coming in April 2012. I am going to use this site to get as much information as I can. I can't wait! It will be a life long dream come true. |

Having been where you are now, I'll tell you what to expect. 1) The next 14 months will just drag by. 2) The time you spend over there will just fly by. 3) This is a great place to plan your trip. You can zero in on a place or places you'd like to see and get an up close and personal tour that the cold, impersonal travel brochures can't convey. This is especially important if you'd like to get off the beaten touris path. Keep coming around, and don't be afraid to ask questions of all the lovely people here.

Ruth has said it all in her posts above, everything you need to know you will find on POE. How many weeks are you planning on being in England. One word of warning - don't try to cram in too much in too short a time! |
Sherri Whetzel Posts: 5 Joined: 4th Apr 2008 Location: USA | quotePosted at 22:14 on 17th February 2011 Thank you all for the information. Yes, I am just in the planning stages and am so excited. I plan to only stay in London for two days I definitely want to get off the beaten path. I am thinking Yorkshire and Devon? I have no idea how far apart those two areas are though. I can't get a good read from the maps that I have been looking at. Maybe I will only concentrate on one. It is just that I want to see so much! I am thankful for this website and will use it all of the time. Also, I won't be shy about asking questions. I am not a big traveler so I haven't been to a lot of places and never have I gone to a place that I want to go to as bad as I want to go to England. I only have a week. Leaving on a Friday night and coming back the follwoing Sunday. I know it will fly by! |
