Yes, my wife and I made a compulsory "reservation" on the TGV from Nice to 
Paris in September last year with our eurail. Problem was that the train was 
booked out but they still allowed us our reservations. We both had seats to 
Avignon but then I lost my seat due to someones prior reservation. I sat on 
the pull-down seats in the entrance the rest of the way with everyone in first 
class eyeing me in case I went through their luggage in the racks :-).

Hi netters and discerning travellers....

I am planning a US-Canada trip for Dec 1992-Jan 1993, and UA's mileage
program is looking to be one of the good reasons why I should fly with
them.  However, I've heard two different views of the airlines, and wish
to seek any comments from those of you who've flown with them (esp.
domestic flights).  I've heard that their service on International flights
are very good.  Have their safety standards improved since the air
disasters some years ago??  What other domestic airlines are affiliated
with UA?  What would you list as your top 3 airlines to fly with whilst
in the US?  UA's travel coupons allow one entry and exit into and outof
Canada from the US.  Are there any other airlines (who would also fly
internationally) that does this?  Any response would be most appreciated,
as it'll help me plan more readily. Please e-mail all responses to:
in%"arc113h.vaxc.cc.monash.edu.au"

Thanks in advance for your help...

Chris.

   Chania (also spelled Hania) is one of the nicer towns in Crete,
though it's fairly modern and almost suburban-looking.  The main
attractions of this part of Crete are the landscape and beaches -- there
aren't many antiquities, and even relatively few villages.  The star
attraction of the area is the Samaria Gorge -- by all means arrange to
take one of the hikes through it offered by local tour agencies (bring
sturdy shoes.)

   Though Crete is a large island it's fairly easy to get around by car
or bus, so if you have the weekends off you should be able to see quite
of bit of the rest of the island.  I'd suggest as your top priority the
Heraklio Museum and the nearby Minoan sites.

   I have an Opel Corsa (45cv). It's a little compact, but the Germans did
a great thing with its interior.  It will fit 4 quite comfortably and the
trunk is somwhat roomier than the P205, although the 205 has considerably
more power up front.  The standard Corsa is a 4spd 2 door or the slightly
(10cm larger) 4door, with front wheel drive and great gas milage.  Don't 
look for winning the Le-Mans with it, but for touring the countryside, 
the car will take some abuse and generally has no vices.(especially in
the transmission.  I was able to downshift from 4th to 2nd and other than
the high RPMs, the car took the shift just fine. I'm writting this message
as a direct consequence of which saved me life.)  No problems with the
clutch, just remember to ease off smoothly, as a quick jerk will stall
the engine.  Also you must remember that reverse is a push down then 
move it to the upper left. If you don't push the stick down first, you
will put it into first gear. Its a great little car.

Actually, Canyon de Chelly, while it does contain rocks and such, is
an archaeological site.  The National Monument was created to preserve
Anasazi Indian ruins.  The Navajo Indians (Canyon de Chelly is located
in the middle of the Navajo Reservation) offer jeep tours up the
canyon to the ruins.

Why not just freight it back home when you are done with it?
An alternative would be to ask the hotel when you arrive for the
