| Hey everyone, I will be going to England May 9 - 16th and will be visiting Wales during that time. I am so excited, and will bring back as much stuff from there as I can, as well as lovely pictures for everyone to see. Sorry I haven't been on in awhile. Things have been absolutely crazy for me. Very busy time of year for our office and for school. Hope everyone is doing great! |

| Which part of Wales are you coming to? |
| Posted by: susieq76 21-Apr-2005, 02:44 PM |
| We are thinking South Wales, mainly due to time issues. He lives in Cornwall, so that may be closer. You are in the North? |

| That's wonderful. Can't wait to see the pictures. And you'll be back just in time to help us move into our apartment. Ok...I'm really just kidding. But, we will be in Cary on the 18th! Yay! Definately have to meet up so you can tell us all about it. |

| I live in Swansea County - South Wales! It's about an hour west of Cardiff and about an hour and a half from the border with England. On a clear day, you can see Devon and Cornwall from Swansea (But not where I live - the Gower peninsula blocks my view of the Bristol Channel, or what I prefer to call the Mor Hafren). |

| That is awesome! We will be over there! I would love to see Cardiff Castle and a lot of the other areas there. Got any recommendations? Thanks! Susanna |

| I would suggest Castell Coch just north of Cardiff. http://www.castlewales.com/coch.html Cardiff Bay is lovely for a summer's evening with high class restaurants and bars. If you have a car, maybe the Brecon Beacons north of Cardiff. If you want to practice Welsh, look out for the "Bathodyn Iaith Gwaith" and listen out for really strong Welsh accents. The stronger the accent, the more likely they are to be Welsh speaking |

Wonderful! Thanks so much for the suggestions. Where would I hear the Bathodyn Iaith Gwaith? I am trying to start relistening to my CD's and the BBC site so that I can at least say enough to get me in trouble  |

| Ah - it is a pin? That is great. I will have to get one then. I have looked that website over before, but hadn't been on in awhile. Great stuff. |

| Heard from Susanna today. She's having time of her life and says to tell everyone hello. She'll be back next week. |

| I really hope she's enjoying Wales. Did she say where she had been so far? |

| How was your trip, Susieg? Tell all. |

| Sorry to nag, Susanna... but tell us all about your trip! I'm dying to know what you think of Wales! Your experiences, your photos... share, share! Did you have a good time? You're not holding back because you didn't enjoy, are you?? What was your favourite moment? |

| Hey guys! Sorry!!! I got back to a mess at work, and they have been hovering over us with sticks in order to get more work out of us. But I will try sometime this weekend to get a report to you guys. I loved Wales. It was so beautiful! We didn't really get to see much of it, but it was so great, and I can't wait to go back some day The whole trip was just almost unexplainably wonderful, and I had the best time. If you are planning to go to England, Wales or anywhere else in the UK, trust me - one week is nowhere near enough to see much of anything. That was the one disappointment I had - we didn't get to see too much of anything. I hate to rush out, but I have to go pick up Adam at the airport - he is coming to visit me now! But this weekend, I will try and update you all! Sorry I have been such a slacker  Can't wait to get out of this job..... |
