I bid for a four star and got Novotel Paris Les Halles for $125 a
night for four nights starting 8 August.  Wife does not want to stay
in that area of Paris.  Anyone like to use this for a discount?  Any
suggestions on how I could reassign hotel to someone else?  Any other

Is there a website which lets you search for medium/long-distance bus
schedules in Finland? I am need to get from Tampere-Pirkkala airport to
Luopioinen or Pälkäne (both in the Tampere region, but not within city
limits).

My wife and I are planning to visit Santorini during the first week in
October.  We are a bit concerned that the place will have folded up for
the winter and we will not find shops and cafes open.  Does anyone know
what we can expect when we arrive in October?

Have been press-ganged into going to the CDS for a week in July - friends
with a house there etc etc. I don't mind it really and I'm quite familiar

I am arriving at Stuttgart airport in Germany on Friday/saturday

Hi Travellers!
I was wondering what the best train route would be from Brussels to Berlin,
with maybe 2 stop offs to look around over a few days? Where would be the
most interesting places to stop?

I will be arriving in France at the Marseilles Airport (MRS) and

can we expect madness (rush hour) on the road?? How long should we
expect the jourey to take?  Should we leave earlier?
