George- thank you for suggesting TripAdvisor- I do regularly check
this group, together with LonelyPlanet and virtualtourist- from memory
there is some discussion also on the hotel booking site venere- I
suppose what I am missing are the ongoing discussions, and
personalities which were such a great part of RTE & which contributed
more than the "basic" answers to queries. I will look out for
marcopolko on TripAdvisor=3D this year's trip is to Turkey we plan to
take in Rhodes & perhaps another Greek island sailing from Turkey
