As far as the countries you dislike, you will eventually come to thank them
and appreciate that they were the voice of reason and apologize for having insulted them once you realise they were the sole opposition because your own internal parties were asleep at the switch and did not react to your lying government. well said |

I don't care to see anything in particular, to tell you the truth I prefer to vacation in Orlando or Anaheim, and after the way Europeans turned against us and our great President earlier this year I would just as soon not spend any money there and help out their economies with our dollars, but my husband really wants to use the free tickets and if we take a long train ride across a lot of countries and take pictures along the way then at least we can tell our friends back home we've been there done that. Does any have any idea what's the most countries we can see in 5 days and which would be the best trains to take to pack in the most countries? Thanks, Barbara W.

Was to Brussels for a 3 day trip last week. Think I needed some 30min for check in and "setup" in the room. Another 15 min for checkout and a short walk to the railstation just across the street.

been there, done that - try Madrid, downtown - after claiming bags, use the
metro downtown (30 minutes by itself), then a short walk to the hotel (5 minutes) and check-in; out of htere by oh, say 1:00pm after an 11:30 arrival (prebooked, yes) IF we had wanted to go to the Renfe station, that would have been another change (not a problem, just a few LESS minutes, sactually, but then a wait for a train (to Granada) and then get to Granada oh, say 20:00 (8PM for the non-24 hour clock folks out there) 6-1/2 hour train ride. You were saying something about not wasting a day? OK, I remember Moscow - true, arrive SVO at 5:45 afternoon, (l o n g wait for immigration and customs) short ride to Metro on a microbus, change at Ploschad Revolutsi and a ride further to a hotel, arriving Izmailovski Park and checked in by about 8:30 (maybe 9) I'm glad I was staying in Mockva. Plan on 10 minutes? Maybe under absolutely perfect conditions. the "real world" takes an HOUR. (of course, both of these were not exactly "air friendly" cities (Mockva less than Madrid) - Madrid at least had direct metro access fro the airport) "Lennart Petersen" wrote in message ...
