I bought tickets and have reserved a hotel room. I really want to go; it's been WAY too long since I saw Steve and the band play. The thing is, because I can't come over all the time, I would like to get as much out of my trip as possible, meaning I'd like to see two, and preferably three, of Steve's concerts, plus have time to connect with my English friends and maybe even make a sidetrip to Scotland. Steve usually does his UK tour in November/December and I'm hoping that will be the case this year. Rachel can't tell me for certain whether or when a UK tour will happen and there are no firm plans now. But she said that could change at any time. It puts me in an awkward spot because I also can't make firm plans until, and unless, I know I can see Steve play in England. The hotel reservation can be cancelled and I could presumably sell or give my tickets to someone else, but that's as far as I can go at the moment in regard to planning an itinerary. In each of your opinions, how much notice do we usually get before the UK tour is announced? If it's a few months or so, I'll feel comfortable knowing that I have time to plan and coordinate (believe me, my itineraries take weeks and sometimes months. They are truly a labor of love.

) I would love to have a reunion of sorts in Amsterdam, it would be wonderful, and I think more people will be inclined to join us. Keep your fingers crossed and please give me your opinions on how much advance notice we usually get regarding the tour. I'd appreciate knowing how feasible this is.
Thanks, Cheri
