I'd just like to say that I LOVE this thread! As a Yank, it's astonishing to see the variety of options you have, not to mention the staggering devotion to Palace. If circumstances and budget allowed, though, I'd be there, too.
Crushing personal note. My family is planning a long-deferred (since COVID, really) trip to England this summer: my wife and I for the first week, joined by two adult daughters for the second week. Because of schedules, though, the only time we can visit is late July through about the 10th of August – a dead time for Palace because of the World-Cup delayed start of the Premier League season. What terrible timing, eh?
