It only takes slightly over an hour to get to Poland by way of the Berlin-
Frankfurt/Oder freeway.

>You may spend abiat of time at the border depending on which day you go.

Sometimes it is more than just a bit, much more.  In the Frankfurt area
you may cross the border either on the freeway, where in June 1990 I waited
well over an hour to enter Poland, or downtown, where in May 1991 the wait
was no more than ten minutes to enter Germany, and where there was no wait at all this past July.  On the other hand, the crossing from Gorlitz to
Poland, in June of this year, was a nightmare, with cars lining up for blocks.

> If you want to stay in at least one real nice hotel there is a beatiful hotel in Miedzyzdroje Poland called Amber on the Baltic.  It is right on the Baltic sea and is really nice.

These days, you can also almost always walk right in from the street into just about any resort hotel in Poland and, if you are prepared to stay put for a few days, get room (with, or without en suite facilities) and board
(typically, three simple meals) at per diem rates that are so ridiculously low by Western standards you will think they are joking.

Speaking of borders, hotels and prices, the PKS hotel in Slubice, the Polish
town across the river from Frankfurt/Oder, is a large, modern, tourist-class
facility worth staying the night in for its rates.  Oh, and changing money
is orders of magnitude more convenient in Slubice than it is in Frankfurt.

anyone out there make some recomendations?  Also, seeing that I've
never had the oppertunity to travel in Europe before I wouldn't mind
any other traveling tips or suggestions on places to go that time of
year.  I keep hearing that there is no place like Germany for
Christmas! What about Paris for New Years?????

You can buy a local brand anywhere in Thailand called Sketolene, which

Southern Germany (i.e. Bavaria) Garmisch (spelling?) is supposed to be
great. Innsbruck, site of 2 recent Winter Olympics, in the Tirol region
of Austria, right across the border. Of course, there is also Switzerland.

Check out where the World Cup Tour goes--those are some of the best
ski areas in the world. Sorry I can't be more specific, but I quit
skiing with a bum knee before I ever got to Europe. (Vermont and
New Hampshire were nice, though)

  ...So now my roommate here at college is also thinking about a semester
abroad (same time as me, Fall '93), in the UK, like me.  We were discussing
travelling earlier this evening.

  I am thinking about going to the UK early (my internship runs Sept - Dec),
even though the summer is tourist season, I think I'd rather travel in
August than December-January.  Right now I am thinkingg about getting a Eurail
pass and travelling to London to drop of my stuff, then backpacking it to
Paris, break in the ol' rail pass and go to Switzerland, Italy (as far as
Rome), Austria, Germany, France, and back to London to meet up with other
interns.

  Any thoughts on this idea?  Experiences in hosteling and backpacking? (I've
never hosteled before.  I'm considering giving it a dry run in nearby Toronto,
where I may have to go to have some movie film processed - carry it instead of
send it).  Recommendations of books to read?  Ideas, thoughts, suggestions,
please!  I
am trying to convince my roommate that ll the time I spend on this darn com-
puter is worth something.  :-)

  Thanks!

     A good mosquito repellant is Skin-So-Soft sold by Avon.  It is not
really supposed to be a repellant, and doesn't contain the active substances
in most repellants.  But its effectivness has been well documented and it
has been extremely effective with my family.

I am thinking about traveling around in the U.S. this summer. Is that
good idea to travel all around in the U.S. by riding a car with my

Israel were success to travel around the U.S. and it took about 3 months.
I hope to hear from some of you who can share and feed back with your

Ruben, travelling around the US by car can be a wonderful trip.  But prepare
well for it and use a lot of common sense.  This country isn't "quite" as bad
as people from other countries think it is, but, like everywhere else, we have
problems.  Try to contact Triple A--Automobile Association of America--for
practical assistance such as maps, guidebooks, etc.

Once you've planned your itinerary, you might want to let all of us know, and
we can give you more specific information on the areas you wish to visit.  Good
luck, and I envy you!

Ruben,
        I live on the Eaast Coast of the US and flew out to Seattle this
summer, rented a car a drove to  Monterey, California, drove back to
Seattle then got into another car and drove across the country back to New
York.  Halfway back I was so sick of sitting/riding/driving that the trip
lost a lot of its meaning.  If there are four of you in the car, you may
find yourself too cramped and you may lose interest in the riding/driving
required to see the country.  The USA is TOO big to be seen in a
singular trip.  Why not take a couple of months and do a section of the
country?  You couuld eaasily spend all of your summer vacAtion driving up,
down and around the West Coast.  The same goes for the East coast, although
it's more uncomfortable in the Southeast with the humidity and heat.

I have, over the months, been critical of those who ask for information, then
never post the results of their trip.  So, having just returned from 8 days
in London, I report on the following (some of which was shared on this list):

1.  This was my first flight into Gatwick, and I like it best.  The train
    station is right inside the airport and takes you non-stop to Victoria
    Station in about 35 minutes.  Cost is 8 pounds (I asked a taxi driver
    in London what he would charge, and he said 60 to 70 pounds).  It would
    then be only a short taxi ride from Victoria Station to your hotel (5
    pounds or less).

2.  Keith Prowse agency in New York (they have an 800 number) got me tickets
    to two performances.  I secured two more when I arrived in London....
    one set through the Applause ticket system, and the other through the
    porter at the hotel.  Paid regular ticket price for both sets, but had
    to tip the porter.  All seats to all four shows were in the downstairs
    stalls, rows ranged from row 6 to row 12.  Phantom and Miss Saigon are
    definitely A1 quality, Joseph and the ATD was (in my opinion) poor.
    The other, Buddy (the Buddy Holly Story) was short on story but big
    on music and very enjoyable.  Buddy is currently one of the hotter tickets.

3.  Don't miss restaurants:
                            1. Bentley's - West End (seafood)
                            2. Luigi's - West End (Italian)
                            3. Orso's - West End (Italian)
                            4. Simpson's in the Strand - West End (traditional)

4.  Take plenty of money.  British Sterling has about the same trading value
    as our dollar.  But, it costs almost two of our dollars to get a pound.
    As a result a $30 meal here costs 30 pounds there, but actually costs us
    $60.  I didn't run out of money, but came close (especially after minor
    losses at the Palm Beach Club casino).

5.  Seven IRA bombs went off while we were there.  All were small with no
    deaths, but some injuries.  Numerous other false alarms, including one
    outside our hotel.  This activity would not be enough to scare me from
    another visit.

Could tell much more, including side trips to Dover, Bath, etc.  If anyone
is interested, they can contact me direct.

Yes, I would think that is a good idea, 3 months for driving around.
I did it many years ago for about 2 1/2 months hitting some high
spots and places I'd been as a child.

My circuit went from Providence, RI past NYC (I had been there), thru
Ohio and to St. Louis.  Upto that point, I had visited friends and
relatives.  From St. Louis west, it was all touring among strangers.
By accident, I followed much of the Lewis and Clark Trail from St.
Louis: to southern Missouri (Rolla?), to Topeka, Kansas, Salt Lake City,
Utah; north to Yellowstone National Park, Spokane and Seattle, Washington,
and south along Route 1 (and/or 101?) to San Francisco.  Skipping Las
Angeles, I went east again through Death Valley where I got caught in a
RAIN storm! Yosimite Nat.Park. Skipped Las Vegas (but should not have) and
camped on Lake Mead instead.  Hiked down Bright Angel Trail in the Grand
Canyon, and headed south east to Carlsbad Caverns, New Mexico (a
disappointment compared with my boyhood memories), north to Santa Fe.
I grew tired then and headed on a bee line back to New England, but I
enjoyed much of it.

So, by all means plan a nice long trip for yourself by car and many on
this list will be sure to make note of the "do not miss" sites
(including the "rock house"?!).

Enjoy.

an overemphasis on frozen/processed food here and that potatoes, bread, etc.
were of poor quality here. I was amazed since I always thought that our

which burn slowly all night were excellent  for a few weeks, but then I could
not  stand their  smell  anymore... IMHO  the mosquito  problem  is minor  in
Bangkok, and more dangerous in other places.

Good advice for the Belgian guy. Will be duly forwarded to him.

Kevin,
   Although I am from Nepal, I do not have much information on
the technical aspects of trekking you are looking for. However,
I have a friend here in Phoenix who used to work for several
trekking agencies in Nepal. You might want to contact him
at (602)943-0789. His name is Kabindra.
   Should there be anything else you want to know, I will try
to give you information as far as I know. Please keep in touch,
and please let us know your experiences and excitements after
you come back.
   Take care.
