If you rent from Alamo during the peak hours, expect a HUGE wait to have 
someone rent you a car.  They have complementary hot dogs, popcorn and soft 
drinks on hand to keep you happy during your couple hour wait.  I understand 
alamo has some sort club that can get you into an express line.  Become a 
member if you are going to rent from them.

My husband and I took a one day SeaEscape Cruise to the Bahamas about 
1 1/2 years ago.  We boarded to ship around 6:30 that morning and they
had a wonderful buffet breakfast while still at the dock.  It took us
around 3 to 3 1/2 hours to get to the Bahamas and during this time we
spent time on deck as well as in the casino's.  Try to sign up for the
early meals and by the time you finish eating lunch you will be arriving
in the Bahamas (by the way lunch was also buffet style and wonderful).
We spent around 4 to 5 hours in the Bahamas.  Sign up for one of the     
tours; we didn't but wish that we had.  While everyone was gone on the
tours we spent our time on a very secluded beach.  This was very nice,
but we would have liked to have seen the strip of shops and hotels in
the main city.  Once we boarded the ship to return, we spent most
of our time listening to the Reggae band that was playing at the bar.
Dinner was a 6 or 7 course meal that was out of this world.  We  
arrived back in Ft. Lauderdale around 10:30 or 11:00 that night.  We
didn't get off of the ship until a little after midnight.  We sat by
the pool and listened to the band.  There is alot of things that you
can do while you are on board and you will meet new friends and eat   
lots of great food.  If you are going to go for just the one day 
cruise I would suggest not carrying much with you.  You will have to
keep up with it the entire trip.  We intend to go on another one day
cruise with SeaEscape soon.  I really recommend taking one of these
cruises, you will have a wonderful time.

Just a word of advice.  I wouldn't live in Naperville and commute to
Evanston on a daily basis.  There's no highway going west from Evanston,
so you would have to hit the streets until you got to I-94 or I-290.
The AT&T Naperville people who are in a special program where they can
get MS degrees at Northwestern dont seem to appreciate the commute (or
finding parking).  You might want to contact Bell Labs in Naperville and
see if you can be placed in contact with those employees in the MS
program.  They can shed some light on both communities.

Organization: UTexas Mail-to-News Gateway

STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL ADVISORY - China
============================================================
CHINA - CAUTION
 July 23, 1992

The Department of State advises U.S. citizen travelers to China 
that there are over 700 cities and areas in China open to visitors 
without special travel permits, including most major scenic and 
historical sites.  However, visitors should be aware that Chinese 
Government regulations prohibit travel in certain areas without 
special permission.  In particular, Americans wishing to visit Tibet 
must apply in advance for approval from the Tourism Administration 
of the Tibetan Autonomous Region.  For more information, travelers 
should contact the nearest Chinese Embassy or Consulate, or, while 
in China, contact the American Embassy or nearest American Consulate 
General.

Americans visiting China should ensure that all passports and visas 
are current.  Chinese authorities have requested the departure of 
certain individuals who they claimed exceeded the terms of their 
visitors' visas.  Visitors should exercise precautions to safeguard 
passports and other valuables.  Extra care is recommended in crowded 
areas such as markets, airports, and train stations.

Americans should be cautious about carrying into China documents, 
literature, and letters which might be regarded as objectionable by 
Chinese authorities.  Authorities have seized what they deem to be 
religious, pornographic, and political materials, and have detained 
and expelled certain individuals who they claim engaged in 
proselytization or improper political activities.

Americans who will have an extended stay in China are strongly 
urged to register with the American Embassy in Beijing (1) 532-3831, 
or with the American Consulates General in Shanghai (21) 433 -6880, 
Guangzhou (20) 886-2418, Shenyang (24) 29000, or Chengdu (28) 582222 
upon arrival in China.  Resident Americans should notify the Embassy 
or Consulates General whenever they change their addresses in China.

American citizens who plan to live in China are urged to contact 
Chinese customs officials concerning regulations and procedures 
governing items which may be brought into the country.  Students may 
bring into China only those items which are considered necessary for 
study and daily life, and the list of such items is limited.  Some 
Americans resident in China have been required to pay customs duty 
on certain large items each time they temporarily depart China, if 
required procedures were not followed when the items were originally 
brought in.

 No. 92-148

This replaces the previous travel advisory issued December 3, 1991. 
 It notes an increase in the number of cities open to visitors, 
recommends extra caution in safeguarding passports and valuables, 
(especially in crowded areas), and makes suggestions to prospective 
residents concerning regulations on importation of certain items.

Not a lot.  But there does seem to be a real problem with homeless kids
in the larger urban centres in Canada right now.  Most are runaways of
some description -- and they head for the nearest large city and the
"bright lights".  Some are definitely leaving situations of abuse;
others are probably just seeking greener pastures and not realizing
the problems they are letting themselves in for.  Some are picked up
by undesirable types on their arrival in the city, and then dumped
or run away from THAT abuse too.  Some are in various types of trouble
with the law and head for a different area where they have no support
systems and so end up on the street.  The horrendous unemployment situation
here right now (thank you, Brian Mulroney) has certainly compounded this
problem, and the social agencies are wildly under-funded to deal with it.
Some of these kids are really interesting if you stop and talk to them; 
some are quite scared and desperate -- and some are well on their way
to becoming big time crooks.  A varied group -- but mostly they seem
to be for real -- and it's very sad.

You don't see it as much in smaller centres like Edmonton; I would
guess that many of the larger urban areas in the US would have the
same phenomenon happening.  No?

Just my -- by no means expert -- opinion.

This just show that there ARE differences, depending on where you are 
located.  When I applied for my passport the office told me it would
be a 30-45 day wait.  I got it in the mail the DAY BEFORE I was to
leave.

	Actually, I thought the response to this point would

	hotels; in budget hotels all the rooms are small, dark

	In general, I've found that the more expensive the hotel,

I had to respond to this.  I enjoyed the BnB breakfasts in England and
Scotland last summer alot.  But I did get my fill of bacon and eggs.  I
probably have had 3 eggs since then!  Anyways, my suggestion is to
avoid the oatcakes at all costs.  At a few places (like Mallaig) we
got a choice of eggs or kippers.  Try the kippers once at least.  All
the BnBs we stayed at had full (very full) breakfasts and all cost
12 pounds (outside London) in the summer of 1991.  Just my 2 pence

I have gotten a passport the same day in Seattle and Washington, DC. In
both cases it took about 6 hours. In Seattle, it was my first passport
(20+ years ago) and the rules may have changed. In DC, I had to get a
tourist passport since I could not use my Government (red) passport for
the trip and my tourist passport had expired a few months earlier. Since
then I have renewed by mail. In both cases, I was leaving the same or
next day, but I only had to indicate that on a form not show my ticket.
