Travel Forum / Destinations / Europe / October 2003

I am thinking of going to Europe from Los Angeles in June 2004 for 3 weeks to
either Copenhagen or London.  Current search for airfares indicate London is
about $578 and Copenhagen $1348.  A consolidator said the summer fares are not
out yet.

Going to Italy next year, want to visit the towns that my grandfather and
great-grandparents came from, Solofra.  Anyone know if there is any public
transport to it?
Is there a bus/train web site for Italy like there is in Germany?  If so what

Anybody know when these would start? I have no idea whether they are

Is there a detailed Paris Metro Map online?
Thanks.

Cahors and Agen.  Anyone need anything taken (for a share in the

I am looking to take a 4 day trip to Europe on Thanksgiving weekend. What are
the best sites for the cheapest air tickets. I am open to any and all

Anyone been through the process arriving Delta international flight at
terminal 2e and getting to terminal 2c for an Air France domestic flight at
Charles de Gaulle airport? I have a  2 hour connection but I'm not familiar
with the airport and how people and their luggage proceed.

Thank you

For anyone who has been to the Bois de Bologne or any of the other
Paris campgrounds, if you please -
    -  Can you stay there if you don't have a vehicle?  What if you
arrive on foot with just a tent?

My wife amd I (from USA) intend to tour Normandy and then western
France by auto next spring.
We want to travel from Toulouse to Barcelona and fly home from there.
We assume train is most practical between these two points.  But how

I've been following the thread on the Amalfi Coast with some interest
because my family and I are considering a visit there this summer.  I
didn't hear anything mentioned about Positano, which is one of the places
that has surfaced during my reading.  Would this be an appropriate ...

I want to catch the 06:37 Eurostar from Paris to London (or the 08:04
from Calais to London) on a Monday morning. Any suggestions on how to
get to Paris/Calais from Brest for that time?
