Hm, I am planning to move to Iceland soon to do my PhD studies in Medicine. Funds for the research are given by government. When will the financial crisis end?

Hi - i hope someone can help.

I would like to have a small gold cartouche made for my mum with my dads name in hieroglyphincs in it. I would like to place an order for it now and pay and collect it when we visit Alex. in january as a surprise for her.
I have seen sites for this in the Cairo area but none in Alex.
Is it possible for this to be done- does anyone know of any web sites for Alex.
I am only there for 1 day and so would like to have this arranged in advance.
Many thanks Elaine

A quick question:

I have two options for a flight from Beijing to Guangzhou:

Option-1: 1pm departure from Beijing airport
Option-2: 3pm departure from Beijing airport

Questions:
=========
1) How long does it take from Beijing city to Beijing airport, and how can I get there (train or bus - I guess taxi will be expensive?)

2) How long do I need to be at the Beijing airport before flight departure, for a flight to Guangzhou

I am trying to work out whether to take the 1pm or 3pm flight - and don't want to be getting up too early to get to the airport, and at the same time would like to get to Guangzhou early so I can spend some time on that day in Guangzhou

Please advice, thanks

The best train connection going to Milan leaves Arles at 5:08 a.m. We will be staying at the Hotel Regency which only a few blocks from the train station. My question is how do we get to the train station at 4:00 a.m.?

We are four grown women who likes to go on vacation together, even tough we don't really look for the same kind of vacation.

One would gladly spend the entire vacation at the beach, working on her tan. One (me) is more into gathering memories in nature, villages, cities, historical sites and so on. The two others like a bit of each. We prefer to rent an apartment in a quiet neighbourhood and have easy access to public transport.

We're not into partying but love two share a meal at a decent restaurant, in the evenings.

This summer we stayed in Levanto (Liguria, Italy) and it was perfect! Now we're looking for something similar for 10-14 days, next summer.

Any suggestions?

Hello, My friend and I are planning a day in Canterbury as my friend is very interested in the "Canterbury Tales" by Geoffrey Chaucer.

We are travelling by train and would like to have some recommnedations on good places to eat (our lunch) as well as exploring the city.

We are planning to see the Cathedral but would like to know more about the Chaucer trail and the history.

Our local bookshops didn't yield any copies of either the book or the film except for modern interpretations.

As my nephew is studying at the university we are hoping he can guide us in the city.

Hi,
We would be arriving from a cruise in Puntas Arenas on a Tuesday (11:30 am).
We would like to spend the next day (Wednesday) in Torres del Paine but then going at night to El Calafate instead of coming back to Puerto Natales, then spending Thursday and Friday in El Calafate.

1/ Do you have any tips on car rental from Puntas Arenas to El Calafate (I have read that it might be difficult and expensive)

2/If not do you know any agencies that would organise a one day tour in TDP starting from Puerto Natales and leaving you in El Calafate ?

3/If not any other tips to go directly from TDP to El Calafate ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'm told that these are currently not flying. Is that true?

My wife and I have booked a flight from November 11th to the 18th and are wondering if we will be able to travel around the island at all by public transport?
