    How Much Did You Eat?

    So, how was dinner? -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt

    Class Act

    Yes, the world would think it was classy to abandon the Iraqi people -- for criminals and anarchy. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  3. Isn't Hillary there too? What was Clinton's 1998 trip to Africa? Vacation? & China? Fund raising? Running from Monica? But, bringing his mother in law?

  6. In order, I liked Toledo; it's like a medieval city on a hill that blends religions and has some cool architecture (lots of sword shops too). I second Granada for the Alhambra, but I'm not sure how pretty the gardens will be that time of year. I hit the art museum in Madrid twice, the square and the castle. Sevilla was okay, but I was there on a Sunday; so, I'm not sure I have a fair opinion. Salamanca was a college town on the way to Portugal (5am train really sucked!) zzz. Consider taking the night train and getting a cabin; some of the trips are rather long. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

  7. I'd recommend multiple guidebooks. Including Let's Go for the cheap things. (I think I had Berkleys -- out-of-business but like Let's Go, Rough Guide and inherited Lonely Planet.) Also, if you go to Europe, hit the tourist info places when you get into town and they can hook you up. It may be worth it to walkaround and check in some places, but overall, it made life easier as the hostels were full in many places. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

  8. For T-Day, I like it baked, but deep fried turkey is awesome! -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  9. All the legislature did was correct a potential and real interpretation of products liability law stating that a manufacturer is not liable when it's product is used for the purpose it was designed. Guns are rather unique in this regard because IMHO killing someone is not a malfunction and warnings of don't stick this in your mouth and pull the trigger, don't use as a prybar or if you shoot someone, they may die, are probably not necessary. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v.

  13. 0:5:1 Finally figured out how to fly slow(er), but forgot to attach my swoop cords and dropped out on the one jump with the USPA rep. Then, decided at the last minute to do one more and exited headdown and held it for a few thousand feet, transitioned (holy airbrakes!!) to a sit/stand and back to headdown. Woohoo!! -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  14. www.balmers.com This is the youth hostel in Interlaken, Switzerland. I was told it was un-American [backpacker] not to visit. In March, it'd probably be skiing, but during the summer, it's a zoo and they do some cool, but a little expensive, activities -- like skydiving, paragliding, glacier climbing, hang gliding... I thought the southern coast of Portugal (Lagos) was nice (blue water, red/brown cliffs) and we got a cheap place with a view from a woman who met us at the trail station. In Spain, I liked Granada (even though I got food poisioning and rather ill in the Alhambra) and Toledo. The south of France was nice with a car -- wine country and driving from San Tropez to Cannes along the coast. In Italy, you'd probably want to see Venice, Florence and Rome. You may want to go to a old hilltown like San Gimigiano (there's some really sick stuff in the musuem of criminology aka torture), hike between the villages of Cinqua Terra, see Pompei, or ride down the Amalfi coast (don't think about driving it -- honk before you go around the blind corner). Then, there's the islands. In Germany, I took the jetfoil down the Rhine and saw the castles along the way. Dachau (concentration camp near Munich) was enlightening. -------------------------------------------------- the depth of his depravity sickens me. -- Jerry Falwell, People v. Larry Flynt
  15. What do you want to do? See stuff in museums, do cool stuff, see pretty scenes... I wandered around Europe with a backpack, guidebook and train pass for about 3 months Aug-Nov '96 and never spent more than 3-4 days in one place. If there's anything specific you'd like to know, just ask. You may want to get a guidebook to decide where you want to go. If you do something like that, make sure you have well-broken in hiking boots! To go down under look at www.quantas.com You *may* be able to get a flight for your price range.

    PayPal Scam
