Does anyone have a recommendation for lodging near the Koln airport? Or,
lodging that provides transportation to the airport so I can drop my rental
car off the night before departure. A pension not too far away would be fine
as well. Hopefully for under 100 euros. Thanks.

I am going to spend 10 days in England.  I'll visit London, Salisbury, Bath,
Oxford and Cambridge, maybe Canterbury.
What kind of transportation should I use (rail or coach)?
Do I need to buy rail pass or coach pass?

I have a school reunion coming up in Llantwit Major in August, and we
decided to travel there with the whole family and spend afterwards a
few days in Wales. We are a family of 3, two adults and a toddler (then

I'm looking for a sample itinerary for June 16th through June 21st of
this year. we will be leaving Paris to Rouen on the 16th via train,
and plan to return to Paris on the 21st via train as well. we also
plan to get a rental car and drive around for 4 days.

In the book our tour company sent us, there are different exchange
rates.
In France, Spain and Italy, there is a slightly higher exchange rate
than in Greece, Austria, Germany and the Netherlands.

Can anyone tell where one can find information about appartments,
cottages, bungalows anywhere without having to go through Travel
agencies? I am syre there are people out there willing to rent
accoimmodation cheaper than Agencies charge.

Regarding the incoming Soccer Wordl Cup in Germany, I'm concerned about
hassles and crowded airports, hotels in Countries like, France,
England, Spain where I want to travel between Jun and July.
I want to hear your sincerely suggestions. Thanks

Does the Porto metro connect with the airport? I have a guidebook which says

still being built.

We will be crossing the English Channel soon. It is with a Cosmos bus
tour, from London to Paris.
-How long does it take?
-Are there ATM's on the French side where we can get Euros?
