A question for anybody following the saga of airlines. What condition 
is TWA in, and will they be flying in Aug. I have a trip which I 
will be using my father's ff miles. Also, for a trip from Philadelphia
to Paris thru New York on the NY-Paris stretch what plane will 
most likely be used.

Thanks

Silly!  If you have to check baggage, then you shouldn't be trying
to get bumped.  I cannot see voluntarily being on a different flight
than your bag, esp. with your bag arriving earlier, unless you're
flying into a pretty safe airport.  Do that at JFK and you'll not

Would you be so kind to define it? What does it really mean - to behave
properly?

Once a couple sitting next to us made a hell of noise. They demanded my
kids to sit in their chairs without any motion. "You parents better wrap
your boys with a good rope for all 13 hours of the flight" 

While the kids just enjoyed the flight, with no crying or screaming.

BTW, we don't travel for fun. It's my job that makes us moving.

Would be delighted to get a bunch of articles explaining how wrong am I.

Meanwhile, I vote for "+kids" compartment. Some toys and some cartoons for
the same price... well, I'm ready to sacrifice my beer and my movies to

There was a TV program on the other day here (England) about disease
transmission. This said that most people think that bubonic plague is no longer
a problem, but in fact the agent that causes it is carried by fleas which infect
ground squirrels in California. These fleas are monitored, and if too many in a
particular area are found to be carrying the agent, campsites in that area will
be closed to the public for a period.

The number of people actually infected by plague is very low. You've got a much
greater chance of being killed in an auto accident!!

The price of the express train from Gatwick to Victoria Station
is 8 pounds. There is a machine that dispenses the tickets and
will give change back if you don't have correct pounds. I think
it will take a 10 pound note but not two 5s!

I just used this train earlier this month and it was great. Gets
you to Victoria in about 30 minuted and it's clean and comfy!

What we always did was bring our bicycles. We would get to the

Just for the record, anytime I have stayed at a B&B in Britain, breakfast
has been a MAJOR event with your bowl of oatmeal PLUS bacon, eggs, 
(often) homemade bread, grilled tomatoes, preserves, etc., etc.  Have
never encountered one yet where a bowl of oatmeal was the norm.  In
Scotland you get oatcakes and other delicious stuff.

It cost me 8 pounds about 3 weeks ago.  Thats $20CDN for a glorified
"subway" ride.  Now I know why it's cheaper to fly into Gatwick.
Victoria Station is also prone to bomb scares these days, so don't
be surprised if you encounter delays.

	For a week, coin op lockers are probably no good.  You can't feed

The price of underground from Heathrow to Victoria is about 2.50 pounds. 
You will need to change trains somewhere (there is no direct underground from
Heathrow to Victoria) which can be a pain if you have luggage. The journey time
is 50-60 minutes and trains are frequent.

The price of the train from Victoria to Gatwick is 8 pounds. The journey time
is about 30-35 minutes and trains run every 15 minutes.

An eaiser and faster alternative is the Speedlink bus running between Heathrow
and Gatwick. They claim it takes 60 minutes but it could take consideraly less
depending on the terminal you catch it from and the terminal you get off at
and of course the traffic. I caught it in rush hour morning traffic eariler
this month and it took about 45 minutes (and to my surprise, they even served
coffee on the bus!). The cost is 13.50 pounds and they accept major credit cards.

  DON'T take I-25 from Albuquerque to Sante Fe. Take state road 14. It is
east of Albuquerque off of I-40. It travels along the east side of the Sandias,
thru Madrid (that's pronounced mad' rid), by some nice small towns, by the
state pen, and on into Sante Fe.

  Personally, I'd skip Sante Fe and Taos. Too touristy for me. (WARNING: Shoppers
love to spend money in these places!) New Mexico has an extremely diverse set of 
ecosystems. Everything from artic tundra to swamps! Get off the freeways and putz 
around. The Rio Grande Gorge is an amazing area to take pictures in. Go down by
the Rio Hondo just north of Taos.

  In the southern part of the state, you HAVE to go to Bosque Del Apache National 
Wildlife Reserve. Birds out the wazhoo! (Not as many Labor Day as New Year's but 
still a lot.) Lots of plant life and such there too. (It is just south of 
Socorro.) Just east of there on the way towards Carlsbad is Valley of Fires State 
Park. It is suppose to be a bunch of lava flows. Real bleak landscape. I haven't

I've been wondering about just what kind of breakfast to expect at B&B's

tell it probably works out to be a bowl of oatmeal.

> We paid 13 pounds per person for a

ensuite?  I've found that a lot of B&B's are described as having rooms both
with and without "private bath", but is it safe to assume that a room without
one has access to a shared one?  In such a circumstance, can I expect a towel
and washcloth to be available?  13 pounds/person certainly isn't an outrageous
amount of money for an overnight stay with beakfast. Does that include VAT?

I'm stopping in Wales (Gower) for a few days along the way, and I made a
reservation at a B&B called Acorns in the Swansea area.  I had first called
one called Tides Reach, but they didn't want to give me a room that they'd
get more for renting to two people.
