Im planning to travel to london on December 6, 7 and 8, and I have read that

is pretty much dead on Dec 25/26.. Is this true?

Dear,
I intend to go there during the Easter 2004. I would appreciate any tips for

Still planning my trip to France later this month. If you could take a
day-trip from Paris to somewhere in the French Countryside, where would

We will be staying in Stuttgart for 2 weeks on a business trip the last 2
weeks of October.  We would like to get the most sightseeing we can out of
