My husband and I will be traveling (for 3 weeks maybe 4) by car
through Oregon,  Washington and Canada in the later part of June.  We
will be  traveling with our 4 year black lab.  My questions are as following:

	*Since this is our first traveling by car through these states
	and Canada, we would like to know which cities and generally must see
	stops along the way?
	*Names of hotels/motels that allow pets but we also wouldn't
	mind stopping at camp sites along the way as long as dogs are allowed,
	any names of campground would be appreciated. 
	*Whats the best route from San Francisco bay area, preferably
	part coastal and part inland? 
	*Are there any restrictions bringing pets into Canada?  If so
	what are they include any quarantine information or where an I write
	to get such information.
	*ARe we required to have any special passport when traveling
	in Canada?

We would really appreciate any information or helpful hints of any
sort. Please send any responses to campbell@sierra.stanford.edu.

thanks,

First of all, thanks for everyone who sent me email regarding the subject.
The following is a short summary of what I received, I don't think that
the info to very very accurate and you should call Amtrak or airline 
before you drop by the station or the airport.

People prefer Amtrak and Metroliners over air shuttles because the trains
are much more comfortable and the total travel time (including commuting
between the airports to downtown area) is about the same.  Anyway, have fun
and I will probably take the Metroliner.

Summary: Tips on trip across France and Spain
Keywords: Brittany, Northern Spain, Accomodation, Towns, Food
Date: 6 Apr 92 15:25:47 GMT
Distribution: rec.travel
Organization: Edinburgh University

I posted this article some time ago and got no repplies for it so far.
I am posting it again hoping that someone can give us a few hints still.
We are just trying to decide exactly where to go so if anyone has any
reccomendations about the places listed below or anything to add we
would be very grateful.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

We are planning to drive from Scotland to Portugal in June, via 
Brittany and the northern coast of Spain. We have already decided to
take the Porstmouth-St.Malo ferry, and are looking for advice on stops
between there and Portugal.

We have already recieved some suggestions on where to stop which are
summarised below.  Our principle interest is in places of cultural,
natural or historical interest, we are not so concerned about sunny
sandy beaches. 

Any additional information or comments that the experienced travellers
out there have will be very welcome. In particular suggestions on
where to eat and where to sleep would be useful (preferably cheap,
comfortable and steeped in local ambience).

Brittany:

Our first stop after the getting off the ferry will probably be Dinan. 
From Dinan we will take a day trip to Mont St. Michel, and the next day
start on a tour along the Brittany's coast (or almost) finishing at
Nantes. Suggested stops that we've received include Rennes, Paimpol,
Concarneau, Carnac, Saintes, Guerande, Le Croisic.

Brittany to Spain:

We only have time for one stop on this part of our tour.  Suggested
stops are Carcassonne, Angouleme or Bordeaux.  Comments and
alternatives please. 

Northern Spain:

We have a week to go across Spain and the suggestions so far are San
Sebastian, Bermeo, Fabada, Sidra, Santander and Santillana del Mar,
Llanes and/or Potes (to get to Picos de Europa and Covadonga) and
Santiago.  Also the coastal road from Santander to Gijon was highly
recomended.

Subject: Honeymoon/Europe Sept.
Organization: Wolfram Research, Inc.
Date: Fri, 10 Apr 1992 21:52:23 GMT

My fiance and I are planning to spend our honeymoon in Europe (about 19 days
in Sept.).  We will arrive in London and plan to spend a few days there 
then move onto Amsterdam and through Germany, finally winding up in Paris
where we depart from.  I would like any and all suggestions and comments
on the following:

1) Places to stay (primarily interested in B&Bs and cheaper hotels).
2) Transportation (car vs. Eurail)  Should we or shouldn't we rent a car?
3) London to Amsterdam?  How is this accomplished?  Ferry from where to where?

The goal of this trip is to travel off the beaten path. Although we have 
only a short time we want to experience as much of the culture as possible.

Ideally, we would like to hit the following cities:
London
Amsterdam
Salzburg
Innsbruck
Paris

We would like to see as much as possible in between.  What villages shouldn't
be missed?  Of the cities I have listed, which ones can we cross off 
in favor of something better?  What sites must be seen, eg., museums,
art galleries, festivals and fairs, concerts...etc...etc...

I will attempt to compile all the responses and post them later.

   Vermont is pretty.  It's also pretty far north.  

   If you really only have "a few extra days," then take in some of southern
vermont.  that means Brattleboro, Stratton, maybe Bromley, Bennington.  Basically,
you head out route 2 west from Boston, and go up some of the smaller roads.
You would eventually cut over to I-87 (in new york state).

   If you have a lot of time (and remember that there's a lot of traffic
due to tourism in the summer!), go up through Burlington, Vermont and check
out Lake Champlain.  The Green mountains are lovely, and Western part of
the state (e.g., Vergennes, Middlebury) is also within your grasp.

   I'm not clear whether you've been in the Finger Lake region of New York
STate, or in the Adirondacks.  You can do some nice camping on the Finger Lakes,
reachable via the New York STate thruway.  Then I guess you can head down
through Buffalo to Pittsburgh?  My geography's not so good in Western N.Y.

have fun,

     After receiving numerous posts and messages about RCCL, I guess its
time to post the results.  By the way, thanks to all who responded.  It
is always nice to have 2 points of view when you spend a lot of money on
something, in this case a cruise.  Now the results: the positive replys
outnumbered the negative replys by 5 to 1.

     After the initial shock of reading all of the complaints on the net
about RCCL, I talked to my travel agent about some of the complaints.  She
started by telling me that RCCL has been rated the best cruise line for
SEVEN years in a row.  She then explained to me that people who have
previously cruised on larger, more luxurious ships might have a problem
with the smaller and older Nordic Prince.  However, because the Sovereign,
Monarch, and Majesty of the Seas are the lines newest and largest, she
didn't understand how anyone could have any complaints about them.  By the
way, my wife and I took the Disney Cruise (Premier) on our honeymoon.  It was
our first cruise and we thought it was terrific.  When my travel agent told
me that the Majesty of the Seas was many,many,many(...) times nicer than
Premier, I almost fell out of my chair.

     Not counting the Nordic Prince complaints, most problems people had 
involved things that are a part of cruising.  Paying for drinks is common
and any lines that don't charge for drinks are definitely exceptions to the
rule.  Tipping is also customary.  If you are spending a week on a cruise
ship, you can expect to shell out alot of money for tips.  Shore excursions
also cost extra but that is also par for the course.  You have to realize
that any line that does not charge for drinks, tips and shore excursions are
probably adding the cost to the price of the cruise itself.

     I won't even bother commenting on the complaints about the food because
of the variety of people's tastes.  I will say that the food was not a
problem to a vast majority of the people who responded.

     Once again, I find myself wishing that tomorrow was May 31 so we could
get this thing started.  I was really looking forward to this trip until I
received all of the responses.  Now I am really, really, really (...) 
looking forward to the cruise.

     By the way, if anyone is thinking about taking the Majesty of the Seas
this year, you will notice that one of the stops is Labadee, Haiti.  That
stop has been changed to a private island in the Bahamas because of the
present political situation in Haiti.

The Gemini is most definitely NOT a wooden roller coaster.  The Blue Streak is
