Sorry, this forum does not allow us to edit posts.

Hi everyone!
1. Is this the card that I buy to use the bus/subway/train in Chicago?
2. Is there more than one type of card or this is it? Not sure if there is only the one kind of transit. For Toronto, it's the TTC for example.
3. I read on the website that the $5 fee is waived if I register the card. Well, I won't have access to a computer while in Chicago?

TIA!

Hi
We are going to New England for about 12 days at the end of October/beginning of November.
I'm hoping someone will be kind enough to suggest an itinerary that will give us a good sense of New England. There seem to be so many potential little towns to visit but a lot of them seem to offer pretty much the same thing.
Any suggestions are welcome; we'd like to begin and end in Boston.
We enjoy good food and wine - so any vineyards (especially ones with accommodation) would be welcome. We also like walking, people watching, discovering unusual/un-touristy places but are equally happy checking out what all the fuss is about at tourist sights.
I know a lot of these things are down to individual preference so if it makes it easier, please say what you would do with 12 days in New England and it'll give me a starting point!
Thank you!

Hi
We are having a day trip to Venice from Lago di Garda and are going by train. I know that the station is in a great location but as we are short on time how long does it take walking (with a 6 year old!) from the station to a central location (St Marks?) or is a water bus a lot quicker option, and are they near the station anyway?
Thanks

Hi, I am considering renting a flat in calle de santiago which I think is in el Barrio. I haven't been to cadiz since I was a child and that area was quite run down then. Does anyone know what its like these days? My family are staying in the spa hotel but its a bit pricey for me. Advice much appreciated.

Went to Paleochora two years ago and noticed a campsite just off the beach. Im looking to go back this year and camp but cant seem to find any info on it on the web? Does anyone know how to book this campsite? Address? Or any info at all??? Thanks!

Hi all!

We are planning a trip to China. Is there an online route planner for China/Shanghai? It's like the ones for Europe, where you put in Start point (address/postcode/place of interest etc) and Destination of where you want to go, and it gives you step by step driving directions, total travelling time, distance in km etc?

Thank you

We are with 6 (2 adults, 4 kids) and searching for an appartment in or nearby Otocec in Slovenia. Can someone help us? please send an email to jwvandam@olcon.nl. From monday the 7th of july till tuesday the 15th of July.

I'm interested in a 7-10 day backpacking trip in Sweden, Norway or Finland in June. (I'd also consider a canoeing or kayaking trip of the same time length.)

In France and Spain, there are GR routes, or Grand Randonnee, where you can literally hike for weeks on designated routes over the alps or pyrennees. the GR20 in Corsica is pretty famous: http://corsica.forhikers.com/gr20 ....

Soooo...I'm wondering if anyone knows of anything like this in Scandinavia? or
extended canoe trips etc.

Any help/thoughts/experiences welcome

Thanks much.

We are looking to spend a week to 10 days in France as part of a 2 month holiday in Europe. We want to spend 2 days in Paris, and possibly time in the Loire visting the chateau. We were thinking to maybe take in provence/ Avignon. We are not really interested in swimming as we have access to beaches at home - we want to experience the culture and sightsee. Could anyone please help regarding where our time may be best spent. We were probably not going to visit Nice/Monaco thinking it would be too expensive. Is this the case? We also had thoughts of visiting Mont Saint Michel but this seems a bit of a diversion to our itinerary. Your thoughts would be appreciated as we don't really have a comprehension of the distances between these places. Thanks.

I was wanting to know how I can get to the Catacombs of San Sebastiano or of Domitilla with a rather large group of students. We do not have a coach/touring car so it would have to be via public transport.

Does anyone know if there is a good bus or train connection with either of these 'venues' ?

Thanks

Hi all, I am a new member travelling to Dubai for several years for a work project, and while I am not a religious person I am trying to learn and I'm wondering if it's allowable to bring in things like bibles and other learning materials or is it not advisable?

Hello!

Posting it up again under Eupore Forum.

I would be travelling to Prague with my cousin in this coming month of June and then would be heading off to Vienna. Would appreciate if anyone could give assistance to the query for transportation from Prague to Vienna.

Am planning to take the train and have been searching info on that to buy online tickets. So far, I have found two -

1. The Czech Railway - However, I can't find the right link to the Czech Railway in English version to buy tickets online and heard that there is no price stated there. Can anyone out there send me the right link to buy online tickets in English version and if it's true that no price is stated, may I know how much is the ticket from Prague to Vienna for 1 person? Is it also better to buy tickets during the arrival in Prague or better to buy online?

2. OBB (Austria's railway)- No price stated as well and need the link in english to nuy tickets online. May I also know how much is the ticket from Prague to Vienna for 1 person?

Thanks much in advance to the kind souls who can give assistance to the above!

Cheers,
Famie

Can someone please give me some names of the singers from the music they play on the watertaxis? I REALLY enjoyd that music and would like to listen to it at home. It was modern music, but in a caribbean way.

Thnx

Hello everyone,
I will fly to Solo on 29th May. From there, will proceed str8 to Yogya as I booked a hotel there. I just need to know, what is the train station nearest to the Solo Airport and Malioboro St. How far are they from the two places? I will reach Solo on Thursday at about 9 a.m. So, are there many trains available to Yogya? How about the crowd at that time?
Thanking all responses in advance.

I am planning a trip to London for this summer, does anyone know a cheap (£40-60 per night) hotel with ensuite rooms?I know it is almost impossible, but if you know one please tell me! thank you very much! L

Is there any airline or ship that runs between KALAMATA to Creete?

My boyfriend and I are going to Zadar for 5 days in September but we're having problems finding hotels which are actualy IN Zadar...they all seem to be about 20km away which is a little inconvenient if you don't have a car!

Ideally we'd only like to book somewhere for the first night so we know we definitely have somewhere to stay, and then maybe wing it and try and find something cheaper/on an island after that...is this advisable??

We'd love to go out to Dugi Otok or another island...and we reckoned we'd be able to find accommodation when we got there...is that the case??

could anyone please advise us. We would like to travel to tioman island from 19th November for 3 nights stay. We are concerned about the monsoon, and want to know if there is a high risk of being stuck on the island (as we already have return tickets on 23rd november, 08 to fly back home to australia) and will accommodation (budget) be difficult to get at this time? Also will there be open restuarants? Is there any part of the island that is less effected by the monsoon? As we are traveling with children we have concerns for there safety if we travel during monsoon season should we be concerned? R the beaches still calm during this time? Many thanx keen travellers from australia

hello!
i am planning to travel from bari(in italy) to a greek island and figured i'd need to go via patras and piraeus with a bus.
i already read some other posts but still have some questions remaining:
- where do i buy the ticket for the bus to piraus?
- how much does the bus cost?
- is it ok to buy the bus ticket upon arrival only? we would like to go to piraeus right after the ferry arrived in patras
- how long does is take?
thanks so much for your help!!

does the under ground actually have a have a connection to haulumpong, will need to get from Asok to there to get train to Hau Hin

Has anybody travelled with GWTravel's Shangri La and Golden Eagle Trans-Siberean Express(es) respectively? Was it worth the tremendous amount of money they charge?

A potentially silly question, but I have not had to phone anyone in Paris when I have been there.
If this is the following number: +33.(0)6.62.62.93.20, do I just dial 62.62.93.20?
Thanks

Zdravo,

I am seeing on bahn.de and ukrainian site http://uz.gov.ua/index.php?m=services.transppl.ScheduleOra&f=ScheduleOra.Train&T1=22995&lng=uk, that there is a train going from Beograd --> Kyiv --> Moscow. It looks like this is the Avala train IC344 with a switch to 16 in Budapest.

I'm trying to go to Lviv (Lvov in Russian), which is in western Ukraine, and a listed stop.

Can anyone tell me if:
- the train does indeed leave Beograd at 06:45
- I can buy the ticket all the way to Lviv
- I can buy a troundtrip ticket
- I can get the ISIC discount, and how much
- what exactly is the routine. Do we get to Budapest and get off the train, sit around for a few hours, even though it's listed as a direct train
- if I'm coming in on Eurovision weekend, will I have issues to get a ticket

Finally, I'd be coming in from Skopje. I know the trains are limited, as they cut that mid-day train. Anyone who can tell me a realistic time for the bus to reach Beograd would be much appreciated, as I'd have to catch that train.

Hvala puno!

do you already have reservations for the ICD TRAINING ON MAY 26- 20, 2008, RESERVATION OF PARTICIPANTS SPECIFICALLY?DO YOU ACCEPT RESERVATIONS THRU PHONE CALL

Hello,

I'm travelling to Lae soon to work for approx. 1 week and I was seeking advice on what not to do.
Is it safe to walk around during the day on your own? Will I be safe in my motel room a night? I've heard the yacht club is safe for a meal. I'm led to belive that the majority of population is friendly. If anyone can give some advice that would be appreciated.

Many thanks

We are visiting South America later this year and are looking for a tour guide to show us around the places we visit.

We are visiting Santiago, Lima, Lake Titicaca, Cusco, Rio de Janeiro, Iguassu Falls and Buenos Aires.

We were hoping to book our guides through one company but who may cover all of South America. Has anyone had any good experiences, or able to recommend any guides?

Hi guys, I'm planning to make my way there from Penang, but have no idea where to start planning. I'm wondering if anybody could offer a suggestion/idea... Thanks.
