My boyfriend and I will be in Europe for all of March '09, flying into Paris for 5 days then Barcelona for 3 and taking a 12 day cruise out of Barcelona thru the Mediterranean..We have 4 possibly 5 or 6 days when we come back to Barcelona before our plane leaves from Paris and we want to take a train from Barcelona to Paris and hopefully stop in Amsterdam.
Does anybody have any advice on train travel from Barcelona - Amsterdam - Paris? Is it a good idea? Expensive? Any tips on cheaper rates? Would it be better to just take a train from Barcelona directly to Paris?
Any info or advice is appreciated!!

Hi,

I'll be in Cherokee Village in October and need to get to St. Louis Airport. What is the best route, and how long will it take to get there (I know it can't be exact, and there's always the possibility of traffic jams, but what is a reasonable expectation for a trip with no delays)?

Thanks very much.

Cathy

how old do you have to be to get in?

Hi all,
My family and I are spending the 3rd week of June in Arkansas at a camp and 4-wheeler trail near Mena (Wolf Pen Gap) and I was wondering if anyone familiar with the area knows if there are any horse-riding trails near there. Any other suggestions of things to do or places to see near there would be most appreciated!
Thanks,
Angie (will be vacationing with my husband and a boy, 17, and a girl, 15.)

I will be in in the area on May 16th-19th and parts of North Texas, West Arkansas, and North Louisiana.

I was wondering if someone here goes noodleing/bare fishing/tickling in any streams or rivers in that general area and would be willing to have a companion for an afternoon enjoying the hobby and a few beers?

I would LOVE to try this form of fishing and it would be better to meet fellow VT members cause of it and my learning curve and mysterious bite count would hopefully be lower.

Please let me know. Thanks Ken.

Hi I am wanting to travel with my family in october this year from memphis to eureka springs for a few days and was wandering if anyone could suggest the best forms of transport available?cheers

We're headed to Charleston for a week beginning October 4th. Just wondering what there is to do within a hundred mile radius of Charleston and in Charleston during that time. We'd especially like to find some great German food or an Oktoberfest celebration. Any diners, ala Guy on the Food Network, to visit would be a fun thing to do, too. Thanks for your help.

The friend I have stayed with before has moved. Any suggestions on a hotel in or near Helena? Thanks!

My friend and I are going to Eureka Springs next week, and we were wondering where the natural springs are to visit and lie around in! Does anyone know? Any help is appreciated. And also, does anyone have any thoughts on things to do that are overlooked? Every website talks about the Passion Play, but we have no interest in seeing that. Is that the only thing to do there?

Hello everyone,

I've been to Atlanta a few times, but I'll be spending two days and one night there next week. I'm going to the Georgia Aquarium. I'm interested in some unique/world shopping (think World Market, international grocery stores, etc). There is an Asian flea market in Nashville... Something along the lines of that would also be cool.

Anything neat that is related or unrelated to that is up for consideration. Let me know what you think!

Thanks,
cody
