    One of my favourite MSE posters. Always imagined meeting up with a beer somewhere in Asia.

    I've raised many a glass to Pete as I travelled around the world.   Amazing geezer!  Perhaps due to him not going on holiday there's nothing to report, hopefully he'll be back soon to give us the best advice we ever had.

    One of the best hotel stays I've ever had came from a recommendation from PP.  Can't remember the name of it now but it was a little guest house in Dalat, Vietnam. Only about £20 a night but had the most wonderful service, it felt more like stopping in someone's home.

    I nicked his Transylvania itinerary, fantastic holiday. Well worth a read if you're missing him or you just want to dream of being allowed out of the country again: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5735156/transylvania/p1

    Has anyone messaged PP via a MSE private message?  He may have set up his account to receive email notifications for PM’s received.

    Same here, he should write a book.

    He doesn't take messages Westin, unless he's suddenly started to.
