Hi, This group is winging its way to its 7th birthday and it seems to be on its last legs. All I have had to do in the last month is intercept and delete spam...
Hi UK! I'm not a spammer!? Please don't think of folding this site, it was a real help when we were planning our trip to California three years ago.? It was so...

Pat, Alan, Ed and Andy, Many thanks for the words of encouragement. It can get a little soul destroying to keep seeing new members join then have to intercept...
Personally I value the group - I guess there are many more readers than contributors which is tough. If you do decide to stick with it I'd value it. Gav ... be...
I thought I'd like to let people know about our trip. Some may remember that I posted a couple of months ago regarding a travel company that my travel agent...
Thanks for sharing your experience, Kevin. I've learned to never expect things to go smoothly and to just address each obstacle as it comes along. You...

Most rental cars are now equipped with GPS devices which will tell you exactly how to get where you are going. Gas prices are outrageous right now, so rent an...
Alan, Idaho Falls is a very small regional airport and doesn't handle very large aircraft, which limits options. Another possibilty would be to fly into...
Marcus I wouldn't worry too much about driving in the UK - the most dangerous times are when you are turning left or right - its easy to forget what side of...
Hi Gwyn Thanks for that - you want outrageous gas prices? How about the £1.10 per litre we're paying in the UK? Regards Alan ________________________________ ...

Welcome to the group. I feel the same way about England. I'm from south Louisiana. I'll be glad to give you any information and advice I can. ian346144...
Gwyn, Louisiana is an almost fabled place to me. I listen to CDB, Johnny Cash and others of that genre a lot: they build up quite a mystique about Lousianna...
Louisianaians love music and food. The 3 major cities in South Louisiana are Baton Rouge (capitol), New Orleans, and Lafayette. They are 60-90 miles apart....
Hey Gwyn In 2004 we had the great good fortune to visit Louisiana - New Orleans during Mardi Gras (the year before the sad events of Katrina.) It was the only...
