We've been to Italy twice on a cruise, but now want to fly there and do
it on our own.  We were thinking of Rome, Florence, and Naples for a
total of two weeks.  I know there is a train one can take from each of
these cities, but how do you go about getting tickets?  Do you just ...

Hi folks
The desire for a 'lastminute' holiday to warm place over Xmas is
becoming too strong to ignore :-).
Don't really want to do long-haul at thsi time, with kids in tow.

We are having a long week-end in the Malaga area in January.
Does anyone have any good ideas on a place to stay or places to go ?
Thanks in anticipation,

I'm looking for help on finding a dentist in London (UK). I moved here at
the start of the year and so far haven't had much luck.
I recently went to one for a cleaning/check-up and the entire process lasted
about 3-5 minutes. No electrical instruments were used and no scaling or

Hi Usenet,
Does anyone know of a cheap airline that flies from Munich to Bucharest?
My usuals, Ryanair and Easy Jet don't.
Thanks in advance,

I need to get to Narbonne for the weekend 16/19 Jan 2003.
The two closest airports appear to be Perpignan and Carcassonne, both
serviced by RyanAir.
Does anyone know which provides the easiest bus/rail links to Narbonne.

Looking for stories, experiences, and advice regarding night train
travel in east/west europe.  I lived in Germany for a few years and
traveled extensively throughout eastern/western europe and took the
night trains many times, and it seems very peculiar things happen on

Checking into flights, it seems like this is going to be an awkward
place to get to.
And it's not clear to me that a given routing is the best.
Would I be better off to fly to Paris and take the train south (seems

I'll be in Florence in early Feb (approx 7-14) and trying to determine
if a daytrip to Carrara is feasible.  I see the train takes only about
an hour, but that takes me to the town.  I am interested in seeing the
marble quarries (which I saw once at a distance from the highway).

I've always used a Eurailpass so am somewhat unfamiliar with Italian
railroad ticketing.  Is a ticket between two cities good no matter what
route you use?  To give an actual example - this year we went from
Verona to Pistoia, but there are three straightforward routes one can

I have 12 days to spend in Montreal, Quebec City and all of Nova Scotia.
How should I divide my time between these 3 areas?
I am thinking 2 days Montreal, 3 days Quebec City, 1 day travel (by plane)
to Nova Scotia and 6 days in Nova Scotia.

I found just the tricycle I'm looking for for her. It's 12 inches
instead of 10 inches. Could be a bit big for her now- but the 10 inches
says 2 1/2 to 4 and the 12 inch wheels were for 3 to 5. She may have to
grow into it a bit- but she'll get there.

Advice me on how to propagate my touristic web portal.
I'm ready to put some banners on commercial or noncommercial sites, but I
don't know wich sites are good for that (sites with good visit stats, and
with similar profile)

I will be in the London during early January and plan to go to the Oxford
Science Museum for a day trip. I will be staying in South Kensington and
wish to know if bus or train travel would be best.
Thanks.

I am pondering driving from northern Portugal to Carcassonne. I do not know
northern Spain, nor the Pyrenees, nor the region south of Carcassonne. Am I
mad to consider the drive, since I have no time to tarry en route for
sightseeing, or is this doable? I had considered flying from ...
