We can highly recommend these six hotels from our August-September ’02 trip to GERMANY. All were in the “Quite Comfortable” category (single little house icon) in the Michelin Red Guide. All had large rooms and immaculate bathrooms.
My husband and I were very pleased with the travel arrangements made for us by MIR Corporation (85 South Washington St., Ste. 210, Seattle, WA 98104; phone 800/424-7289 or visit www.mircorp.com).
We learned about the archaeology of the Trypillian Bronze Age during our 11-day trip to Ukraine, June 27-July 7, ’02, but we also saw many interesting medieval and later sites and met many interesting people in this newly independent state.
Ireland We want to rave about our trip to Ireland, June 16-July 5, ’03, with Patty’s Places (1251 NW 195th St., Seattle, WA 98177; phone 206/546-6717 or visit www.pattysplaces.com).
Our 21-day trip to Spain and Portugal, March 5-25, ’02, with Patty’s Places (Seattle, WA) was lovely. We knew it would be, as this was our third tour with Patty; each was wonderful.
In reference to the reader’s letter “Driver’s License Sufficient” (Dec. ’03, pg. 78), regarding International Driving Permits, years ago a friend of mine and her husband were on a trip to Italy when they had an accident in a rental car that was her husband’s fault.
