Hi Travellers
I was hoping to get some opinions on this itinerary as I want to visit
some cities in Europe this summer with a friend:
London to

Taking some media students abroad. Any good ad agencies, new media
companies, cell phone content proviers that I can take a tour of?

I would like to know which are the most notorious streets to avoid
them, obviously.

a station which is served by the airport & is in the sub $100 range.i

We're going to Italy for two weeks at the end of the month.
A week in Rome and Florence and the rest of the time
traveling around the countryside.
Are Internet Cafes generally available out in the country?

Our destinations are not set - looking at Salisbury/Stonehenge, Bath,
and maybe others - but for now, any general impresions of good/bad
experiences would be welcome.

I'll be In Dublin for five days, will have a car and expect to spend
two of those days day-tripping. One day will be a Midlands tour but I'd

One opportunity comming up -- 4 days in CanCun -- Have fun and earn
$45,000.  If that sounds good find out more at

I've been watching the weather reports out of Spain, mostly Madrid.  It
seems to be
running a bit cooler than I expected for this time of year.  Anyone
know if they are having uncharacteristicly cool weather right now?

If you have ever been on vacation in Denmark, you know how difficult it
is to find stores that take Visa or Master cards etc. Especially
grocery stores lack that convenience. Denmark has their own system
called a Dankort which can be used everywhere in Denmark, but of course
