  If I'm not mistaken some kind soul posted the Travel advisories which the

  Does anyone know if these can be found at any archive sites?

 This is an update on vouchers I dont plan to use. Basically, I get many
vouchers from many airlines, offering discount travel. Some I use, some
I dont. Here, I offer those I am not going to use.

 As before, they will go to the highest offer. You can offer $0 and up.
However, I would like to make sure $0 offers dont end up retiring the
vouchers in their drawers, so please. Also, $0 offers will have to send
self-addressed-stamped-envelope.

List:

Airlines
--------

1. NorthWest Airlines - $99 for a companion ticket (I think it is good on
                        any published fare). valid 2/28/93.

2. Continental - $35 off RT fare of $250 or more

3. Continental - To use these you will have to fly in either my name or
                 my wife's. valid 12/10/92
     - 50% off Family companion
     - $25 off RT of $200-299, $50 off RT of $300 or more
     - International fares - $174 OW to Caribbean
                             $224 OW to Honolulu
                             $224 OW to Latin America
                             $199 OW to Mexico
                             $424 OW to South Pacific
     - Domestic fares - $99/129 Off-Peak/Peak within East zone
                        $139/159 Off-Peak/Peak from East to West zone

4. Continental/USAir AMEX vouchers - as above, you will have to fly in
                                     my name (or my wife's). I think those
                                     are $129/189 depending on where you fly.

Car Rentals
-----------

5. Avis - One free day if you rent two days on weekend
          One class free upgrade. valid 12/15/92

6. Budget - same as above. valid 12/31/92

Hi, I'm arriving in San Francisco on the 11th Oct and after a couple of days
will be setting out for Las Vegas.  Having heard that the pacific coast road
is quite a thing to see, I have thought of first driving down the coast maybe
as far as Carmel and then starting to head towards Las Vegas.  I got plenty
of time and plan to take maybe 3/4 days to get there.  Does anyone have an
interesting route that they could suggest, or maybe just one sight that I
I include in the journey.  Also according to my diary the 11th Oct is a
holiday in the USA.  As it is a Sunday, is it traditional over there to push
the holiday to the Monday, and if so, what should I expect on the holiday,
i.e an empty city or a complete packed out place or what.

Regards

Ian.

Glad I didn't throw away that ol' timetable :-)

Still from the June -92 Delta timetable, they have flights from JFK to LAX
early morning (7.30:ish AM), early evening (5.30:ish PM and 7:ish PM) and a
late night flight (around 10PM). If you see Manhattan, then it really doesn't
matter from what airport you leave, since there is ample ground transportation
to any of the three NY area airports.

US$2 are also basically out of circulation, and rare. The exchange 
rate for the $5 note makes it only worth about US$3.50. I can get 
a plastic $5 from my local international currency exchange.

You might try trading for ONE US$2 note, that would be a more 
equitable trade. Or better yet, one US$2 note, and one US$1 "Susan B. 
Anthony" dollar coin.

Also, on the plastic $5, you can "scratch the Queen's eyes out". They 
printed the ink on top of the mylar. If you put the bill through the 
laundry, you get a worthless piece of plastic.

While you're waiting in the airport for the flight which **leaves** the USA,
go to the "US Customs Office" (there must be one, due to symmetry -- if 
you're leaving the USA from this airport, passengers are entering the USA at 
this airport), and show your camera to them, and they will issue a certificate 
that your camera (serial number 123456789) **and** lens(es) were part of your 
belongings **before** you left the USA.  Repeat with other expensive serial-

Any foreign coin/note collectors out there?

I have some of the new Australian plastic $5 notes up for grabs.

They were released about a month ago and I have kept about 
20 of the first issue `AA` series. The Australian government intends
to eventually make the whole currency plastic. The first note of this
new series was the plastic $10 note, released in 1988. These have all
but disappeared from circulation (not sure why!).

I am willing to swap one AUD$5 note for 3 US$2 notes, but they must be 
in reasonable condition. If you're not American, I might be willing to 
swap for something from your country.

With each note I will also send a glossy brochure explaining the notes
features and raison d'etre. At least, until I run out of them.

Please contact me at bakker@cs.uq.oz.au if you're interested.

STATE DEPARTMENT TRAVEL ADVISORY - Liberia
============================================================
Liberia - Warning
 September 29, 1992

The Department of State advises U.S. citizens to defer all travel 
to Liberia.  The current situation changes on a day-to-day basis.  
The cease-fire among the former warring factions has been broken by 
an outbreak of fighting northwest of Monrovia.  Tensions are high 
throughout the country, and widespread hostilities could resume at 
any time.

A security buffer around Monrovia is patrolled by forces of the 
West African Peace Monitoring Group (ECOMOG).  Two of the former 
warring factions are still encamped in and around the capital city, 
and fighting between the other factions has reached this security 
buffer. 

Presently, only the Monrovia-Gbarnga Road is partially open for 
travel approved by the National Patriotic Front of Liberia (NPFL).  
Travel into the interior is not recommended.  There are many 
checkpoints along the roads.  These checkpoints are manned by armed 
troops; travelers, including U.S. citizens, have been detained, 
harassed and delayed by the NPFL.

Roberts International Airport (outside of Monrovia) remains closed. 
 Limited air service exists only between Spriggs Payne Field in 
Monrovia and Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire; Conakry, Guinea and Freetown, 
Sierra Leone.  No major international air carriers serve Spriggs 
Payne Field.

Lodging, water, electricity, fuel, transportation, telephone and 
postal services continue to be disrupted in Monrovia.  Such services 
are nonexistent or severely limited in rural areas.

Foreigners in Monrovia, including U.S. citizens, have been targets 
of street crime, and their homes subject to breaking and entering.

All U.S. citizens in Liberia should register with the U.S. Embassy, 
111 U.N. Drive, Mamba Point, Monrovia, Telephone:  222991 through 
222994.

 No.  92-168

This replaces the advisory dated March 5, 1992, to advise U.S. 
citizens to defer all travel to Liberia.

Hi, first of all, its really easy to get a Chech visa -- at least in US
I called the embassy in DC and they sent me an application and they say
It takes them only one day once they get an application.

I will be going Graz -- Salzburg -- Munich -- Prague -- Vienna by car
and I would like any suggestions on roads, hotels (especially in Prague),
etc.
Also, I am not an american citizen so I need a Chech visa -- does anyone
know if US citizens need one too?

...to San Fransico.  We just made a kind of educated guess as to where had the most
potential in the US (for our hols) looks like we made a popular choice judging by
the postings.  We want to go in a SF - Grand Canyon (LV) - LA - SF triangle, if anyone
has info or where to get it, it would be greatly appreciated.  Very sorry if thats
FAQ but I've looked!

We'll be in SF the longest and wouldn't mind knowing of any decent pubs/clubs etc. rather than any museums & stuff (not that we're ignoramuses but we need a party).

BTW if your in the least wee bit bothered we're Scots not .se

Loads 'a thanks in advance. /Stuart

PS We'll be driving.
