Has anyone seen any target dates for fixing the gap in route 12 on the Banks?

Vancouver and Quebec City.

I'm travelling to the US from Europe next week and bringing a laptop.  How
does dial up internet access work if you're travelling and haven't got a US
ISP?  The hotels will have data ports in the rooms but i haven't got an
account to dial up to.

What is the best way to go from SF airport to Union Square downtown? I am

Dear travellers
When we planning our holiday for 2004, we have one question.
What's the best way to travel from NY to W DC. Is it by train
or by bus.

I will have to wait between 6:30 and 17:00 at the Newark international
airport on a Saturday. As I have never been in New York (nor in the
States) I would like to know some opinions about possible places to go
instead of just sitting in the airport. Is it time enough? I will be

I'd like to spend a few days visiting the Smithsonion  Institute
