We are thinking of renting an apartment in Paris for 2 weeks.  Seems there
are additional charges (electricity, gas, etc.) that are added on at the end
of the stay.  Do these tend to be substantial?
Thanks

On december I will back to London., but this time I will travel with
Easyjet, to Luton Airport. Does anyone know the best (and the fastest, if
possible) way to reach Victoria Station from Luton Airport?...
Thanks!!

We will be staying in Annecy for a week in the second week of
December.
Wondering if there is a possibility of doing day trips across the
border to visit some of the Italian & Swiss villages or towns.

I am not sure how to ask this, but here goes....I know there are
5,10,20,50,100, 200, & 500 Euro notes out there. In the USA there are
1,2,5,10,20,50, and 100 notes.  In general the $20 note is the highest
general note accepted for every day commerce in the USA.  Yeah, I know the

its popularity would pass.

No I have nothing to do with this site and I am 60!

We, family of 4 with 2 young kids are going to France at the end of
Nov 03. I know it is short notice but we are so used to last minute
preparations. But this time this sudden break was caused by the
reasons beyond our control.

Wife and I will arrive Malpensa in the am.
Will spend the day and night in Milan before taking train to Padua.
Can you suggest a hotel and type of transportation needed from airport to
hotel

There are something like 20 Ibis hotels in Paris.  Which ones are
the most convenient from a transit point of view, in other words,
which ones are located next to a metro stop?  Feel free to add
comments on the neighborhood from a first-time-to-Paris-tourist

Hello, we will be in Munich in early December and our next stop is
Berlin.  Cost is a major factor but we are interested in taking the
Romantic Road from Munich to Frankfurt, and then train to Berlin.  We
will have Eurorail Select passes and renting a car is not an option.

found myself wondering when I crossed a border if it would be better to fill
up before or after the border crossing.
Is there a website or other resource that would let me find out the relative
