Subject: Traveling with a Laptop Computer & CD's
Organization: AT&T
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 1992 17:37:18 GMT

I will be vacationing in two weeks and wanted to take along
my laptop computer. The computer is for a cookbook I'm working
on not "real" work.

Will the x-ray machines in the airport or 
passenger ship terminal damage the computer? Also I
wanted to take along some CD's while basting at the pool.

Any help or experience with these would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Nancy

------------   ORIGINAL ATTACHMENT   --------
SENT 08-10-92 FROM PORTIGAL_STEVE @CADDY


I'm trying to arrange a vehicle switch at the airport...outgoing passenger
drives to the airport, parks the car, and the incoming passenger picks up the
car. I'm not sure what to do with the keys so the incoming passenger (a
couple of hours later) can pick them up. Hiding the keys on the car itself
is a possibility, but a risky one.

It's not convenient to have someone wait at the airport with the car, I'd
really like to have the person pick the keys up somewhere. Has anyone
dealt with something like this? Will the airline hold an envelope for
a passenger coming in on a flight?

Thanks for any help...

1. Miwok Livery Stables just outside of Mill Valley, across the Golden Gate

Marin Headlands; not too commercial, amazing views, knowledgeable guides.

2. The Buckeye Roadhouse, also in Marin, just across the bridge.

3. The Spreckles Museum at the Palace of the Legion of Honour (great views,
great Asian art, great Rodin sculptures.)

4. Auberge de Soleil outside of Yountville in the Napa Valley.

5. Boating on Stow Lake in Golden Gate Park.

6. Giro Polli restaurant in the North Beach district; Zuni for its amazing
roast chicken, and people-watching; and Campton Place, off Union Square, for
luxe.

7. The De Young Museum in Golden Gate Park.

8. Haight-Ashbury which, amazingly, is enjoying a wave of Flower Power
nostalgia (complete with tie-dye, headbands, unfocused smiles, and kids singing
protest songs on the corners.)

9. San Francisco Opera, San Francisco Ballet, San Francisco Symphony. (The

10. arts and crafts and alternative theatre at Fort Mason Centre.

Greetings.

I'm looking for information on travel to New Zealand.  How expensive can
I expect flights to be in February, and has anyone found a relatively cost-effective way to do a fly/drive combination?  I'm also looking for recommendations
as to places to go and things to do.  Our interests:  outdoor recreation (sea kayaking, hiking, scuba diving); nature (point us to your favorite places to
observe flora & fauna, we've got a naturalist on the trip); culture (music, local history, art); bookstores (got a favorite?); and good food (cheap--we have
to cut back somewhere).  How about staying on farms--is it fun?  Would you
recommend it?  Any first or second hand opinions/experiences would be
greatly appreciated.

My favorite spot in Duluth itself is Park Point, a narrow
strip of sand guarding the harbor.  Depending on the weather
the lake may be very placid or ferocious.  At the end of the
sand bar is a isolated bird sanctuary and pine forest.
Overlooking Duluth is Skyline Drive which you can do by car
or bike with wonderful views of the Lake and the city. If 
you go in the middle of September, go to Hawk Ridge where
the migrating hawks and eagles, afraid to fly over Lake
Superior, are funneled across this point on Skyline Drive.

Duluth has been transformed in the past five years and now has
turned its face towards the Lake.  The main action is at Canal
Park with the Lift Bridge, Museum and Grandma's complex
of restaurants (I prefer Mickey's). 

Going up the North Shore are 8 or 9 State Parks with
waterfalls, rivers, and a lighthouse.  The nicest town
along the shore is Grand Marais, although that is at
least 2 hours from Duluth without stopping, and you
will want to stop -- often!

My wife and I are taking advantage of the low-cost airline fares for a 6 day

of the state, but it was mostly from the inside of a Ford Explorer. It is a
BEAUTIFUL area, and I would like to enjoy it in a more relaxed way. I would

Since this trip is a more budget oriented trip than the last one, any

I saw a great many wineries, and was able to sample some, along with a few
regional beers. Please pass along any suggestions for either.

I am a native and you really ought to go to Gino's East.  Deep dish
pizza with a cornbread crust.  Fantastic!  Instead of the Sear's
