We just purchased travelcards everyday which covered all our getting around on the Underground. Cost £5.10 for a 1 day travelcard (Zones 1+2). We got a taxi back at 4am from a club back to Piccadilly (from Farringdon) and it cost £12 which was reasonable between 4 people. -------------------- My Travelogue Rich

Yeah fair enough the travelcard works out great if you are doing numerous journeys, but I just had to do a single trip and it cost something like £4...more than a day pass in any city in Japan (which I was naturally comparing it to having only recently returned). Agreed re: the price of alcohol, though not quite in Norway's £6 a 'pint' league just yet!

Checked my balance and I spent £235 over the 2 days. In 10 days in Japan I spent £400 exc 7 day rail pass and flights there of course. -------------------- My Travelogue Rich

I'm off to Prague next month which should be a good laugh. Then nothing for a few months as I need a new passport! -------------------- My Travelogue Rich

We've joked that our next vacation will be to get ice cream in the next town. But actually we're dreaming about maybe driving around Huron and Superior, visiting some friends in Perry Sound on the way, and maybe doing it all with long-lost friends.

Most people I know have said can't imagine you there, but I am determined to prove that there is more to this island than the few coastal resorts most people can name on the south coast!! -------------------- In Search Of ...........

Newbie Group: Members Posts: 3 Joined: 31-January 08 Member No.: 135230 Nominate me as a Local Expert	I booked my trip to Turkey this week. What was I waiting for? I depart the US on June 9 and will be traveling for 13 days. I am really excited. Turkey has been at the top of my list for a few years now. Now to find affordable airfare from D.C. or NY. Any ideas?
