Listing posts on a page

In addition to the standard Post and Page formats and layouts, I would like to add something and I’m not sure how to do it.

I would like to have a Page that I use to introduce a series of posts, and then have those posts appear as an ordered list (with bullets, or with nothing). These posts would have been created via the standard “New Post” function in WordPress, and would also be available via the main view post area.

For example, I write five posts about a trip I took to England. Visitors to my blog can see the post history and read the posts, and read them as they are posted. On the sidebar will be a link to a page titled “England Trip.” On this page would be an introduction to the trip and other blah-blah stuff, and at the bottom would be a link to each post categorized as “England Trip”. I only want the post title to show.

Is there a way to have this happen without having to hand-code each post entry as I go like in the old days?

?? Thank you!
