I am planning to travel Europe--hopefully not alone--, basically a
"walk-about," and was wondering if anyone has done this recently--or not so
recently--and what kind of problems they ran into.  What's the deal with
visas?  Do to check at every country, or what?  etc...

I plan to have very little money--if any--and will make enough for bread
and water by playing my guitar and working odd jobs.  (I may sound like a
complete fool to some, but I'm doing it anyway.)  I've got friends in
Amsterdam and Spain and England.  I have no doubts that I will be hungry
and cold much of the time, but...

The friend I hope to go with has done some research on this and shown me
ways to do things very cheaply.  But other than that, I'm going fairly
blind, so any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Not precisely what you asked about, but this might be of interest.
I ran into a couple of people in Hong Kong last November who operate
a backpacker lodge on Hawaii.  I've never visited the lodge, but
they seemed like nice folks and it sounded like a good place.

The contact is:

    Arnott's Lodge
    98 Apapane Road
    Hilo, Hawaii 96720
    Phone (808) 969-7097
    Fax (808) 969-7097

Remember me to them if you decide to give it a try.

We're going to visit the US in April. For this we need a car (who wouldn't?).
Since Alamo seems to offer a quite reasonable price / value ratio we would
like to check them out. Unfortunately I haven't found a way to contact
their reservation service from outside the US (we're in Germany).

Has anybody ever managed to contact Alamo directly from overseas? I
could use a travel agent, but then I'd have to pay beforehand in

I think you can arrange a round trip from Las Vegas via Zion, Bryce canyon,

is closed and the mount roads may be icy during winter season.  I have taken

I heartily recommend the Maison de Ville.

Quiet small hotel around a courtyard (back of the courtyard opens on to
the Court of Two Sisters Restaurant).

I've visited New Orleans many times and grazed at Commodores Palace,
Antoines, down through Tujacks etc.. Where I choose to dine starts first
with the food, but what ambience is important at the time, what other
agendas are in mind?

For good food that is interesting I discovered I'd been passing it up
because it was 'Hotel' food, namely the Bisto at the Maison de Ville.

If you are talking about a one-time blow-out meal with the ambiance to
make it a memorable meal - Commander's Palace. (unfortunately I've also
been disappointed there, on occassion)

Have a good time - it's a Great city to visit.

the cover is about $8.00 (when I was last there), the drinks are reasonable,

My husband and I took the Regent Sun on an 11 day Caribbean cruise from Nov. 30
to Dec. 10.  The cruise personnel were very good and the entertainment was
excellent.  The food was the typical excessive cruise fare but very good.  It was,

took a seven day cruise on a Paquet ship, a French line,  and the food was outstanding!

The Royal Sonesta hotel is on the Charles River near the
new Cambridgeside Galleria shopping mall.  The mall has a
typical mall food court, as well as a number of more exepensive
restaurants such as Papa Razzi.   I believe that the hotel
itself has a fairly classy Italian restaurant (Davio's).

Whether anything else is "within walking distance" depends how
far you like to walk.   There's a Legal Seafoods at Kendall
Square, about 12 minutes walk from the hotel.   Many ethnic
restaurants can be found in Inman Square, about a 20 minute
walk down Cambridge Street (or take Bus #69 from Lechmere station).
Harvard Square is too far to walk;  take bus #69 all the way
to the end.

Beacon Hill, the North End, and Faneuil Hall all have many
restaurants; these are all about a half hour walk away.
But your hotel is just steps away from the Lechmere subway
station, and the "T" (MBTA Green Line subway) will get you
downtown faster than your feet could.

Typical Alamo tricks:

   -- Try to get you to upgrade to a larger car at extra cost, when in fact
      the larger car is all they have and you'd have gotten it anyway at
      the original price.

   -- Telling all sorts of lies in order to get you to sign up for their
      grossly overpriced CDW insurance.  They'll often claim that the
      insurance you get with a credit card doesn't cover the full CDW
      deductable (false) or that it doesn't cover loss of use (false) or
      that it doesn't apply to Cadillacs (false).

   -- Giving you a car with a half-full tank and claiming that it's full.
      (They charge about $2/gallon if the car isn't full when you return it)

I stopped using Alamo years ago because of this kind of nonsense, and they
entered into consent decrees with several state Attorneys General because
of consistently deceptive practices.

But the November Consumer Reports Travel Letter says that they're still
doing the the exact same thing.  Why deal with a company that has a
consistent record of lying and cheating? I wouldn't rent from Alamo under
any circumstances.

Because my parents are aging, and unfortunately this life doesn't last
forever, I've decided to shell out to take the entire family on
a cruise in late March while everone is still in reasonable health.
There will be four of us, my parents (72 dad,
62 Mom, 30 Me, and 27 my sister)

We are looking closely at sailing on the Regent Star. The itinerary
starts in Montego bay, goes to Limon, Costa Rica; half-way through 
the Panama Canal, then to Cartagena, Columbia and finally Aruba.

Anything that anyone could tell us about this cruise line, the ship,
the service, the itinerary would be appreciated.  I want to make
this trip as pleasurable and as memorable as possible.  Hints as
to where to stay and eat in Montego bay would also be helpful.  I
thought we would arrive a day before sailing so as not to be too tired.

My parents have taken several cruises before, and I went with them
on the last one in 1988 on Carnival Cruise Line's Festival to the
Eastern Caribbean.  We thought that was a reasonably good trip - but
apparently that line did not have the luxuries of yesteryear.
At this point, that's not really important. Being together is.

A group of friends and myself are planning on doing a bare-boat charter in
Belize during the spring of '93.  I would like to get any information
regarding charter companies in the area, weather/wind conditions that time of
year, book recommendations, must-see locations (both land and sea), and any
other local knowledge you might have.

Thanks.
