hmmm, if you're travelling to and fro on train, is it generally cheaper to buy a return ticket or two single tickets, one each way?

I'm considering doing ground travel to a place not too far away from here. Air travel is too expensive (especially since my trip won't be too far into the future) so I'm considering going by train or even by bus (train is preferred.)

How do I go about searching for travel fare? I'm hoping there is a site similar to Priceline or Travelocity that deals with ground travel of this sort.

DETAILS: I'm hoping to travel a round-trip vacation between Portland, Oregon and Calgary, Alberta (Canada, of course). I'll be travelling sometime this month.

Once again, I'm looking for help with finding places to get trainfare (or anything with ground travel) be it a Priceline-similar site or anything. I just need a way to find and compare prices for travelfare. Any hints, ideas, suggestions? Any help is much appreciated!

I am going on a camping trip with my SUV for 10 days. While I go on hikes during the day, I will be storing my butane cans which powers the hotpot. The butane can says it cannot be store above 49C(120F) or else it may cause an explosion. How do I store the butane cans in the summer time in a hot car while I am on my hikes in the mountains? Note. I do not have any ice with me or any cooling agent. My assumption is also that the car may go above 49C(120F) while I am away. I assume the assumption is correct. Please assist

I was in a very small, two room crowded airport in Key West, FL. I was in the departure terminal in a very long line and realized that I had forgotten my ticket in my car (my stupid fault, this I know!). Anyway, I was attempting to exit the terminal (one room) when about 20+ elderly ladies were entering very slowly into the room. I was the only one trying to get out, and I asked if they could please excuse me and let me out. According to common courtesy, the person exiting is to have the "right of way" for lack of a better term (think of an elevator--don't even get me started on that!).
The lady then nastily said to me, "Can't you WAIT?!?"
If I had waited for all of them, it would have been in excess of 5 minutes, and I was on the verge of missing my flight anyway, so I said I could not wait and scooted out the door, much to their dismay, with them yelling at me (it took me 2 seconds). I know that I didn't follow etiquette to the T, but I don't think I was out of line. Any input?

I'm in NJ, and in december/january I plan on leaving my job. Before I find a new one, I would like to do a bit of traveling (and soul searching! :) I'd love to do something that perhaps involves some volunteer work... and also gives me time to see the sights. One place that I've always wanted to go is Australia, but I'm not 100% set that it's the only place I want to go. I wonder, would a travel agent be able to come up with something that would involve the volunteering, or at least me doing some good while vacationing? So, would it be worth it for me to go to one vs. taking the time to search out something for myself?

Also, do travel agents cost a LOT more than if I did it myself? I understand they charge for their services cause they need to make a living, but if it's a HUGE price spike, I'm not sure I'd use one...

Thanks!

my dad, who refuses to go on any vacations, said that a week and a half vacation in florida is "a waste of money ." So my mom decided to plan a "tennis" vacation in New York during the Us Open for one week. Also, we planned to see two exhibition matches before that. Since my brother and I are tournament players, I thought this vacation would be productive in that we could observe and learn from the pros and have a good time at the same time. My dad was mad because the grand total for everything(food, tickets, hotel, airfare, etc) would come out to be about $4,500(he says he can affordit without worry). That sounds like a lot, but this would be the only vacation for the year for my mom, brother and me. I have been busy with school work,+ extracurriculars all year, , so I thought going somewhere else for only 9 days would be reasonable, . I know there are people who don't go on vacations and that "money doesn't grow on trees," but just considering the vacation itself, is it reasonable

Europe unites in hatred of French
By Henry Samuel in Paris
Last Updated: 12:44am BST 17/05/2005



Language, history, cooking and support for rival football teams still divide Europe. But when everything else fails, one glue binds the continent together: hatred of the French.

Typically, the French refuse to accept what arrogant, overbearing monsters they are.

But now after the publication of a survey of their neighbours' opinions of them at least they no longer have any excuse for not knowing how unpopular they are.

advertisement
Why the French are the worst company on the planet, a wry take on France by two of its citizens, dredges up all the usual evidence against them. They are crazy drivers, strangers to customer service, obsessed by sex and food and devoid of a sense of humour.

But it doesn't stop there, boasting a breakdown, nation by nation, of what in the French irritates them.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Britons described them as "chauvinists, stubborn, nannied and humourless". However, the French may be more shocked by the views of other nations.

For the Germans, the French are "pretentious, offhand and frivolous". The Dutch describe them as "agitated, talkative and shallow." The Spanish see them as "cold, distant, vain and impolite" and the Portuguese as "preaching". In Italy they comes across as "snobs, arrogant, flesh-loving, righteous and self-obsessed" and the Greeks find them "not very with it, egocentric bons vivants".

Interestingly, the Swedes consider them "disobedient, immoral, disorganised, neo-colonialist and dirty".

But the knockout punch to French pride came in the way the poll was conducted. People were not asked what they hated in the French, just what they thought of them.

"Interviewees were simply asked an open question - what five adjectives sum up the French," said Olivier Clodong, one of the study's two authors and a professor of social and political communication at the Ecole Superieur de Commerce, in Paris. "The answers were overwhelmingly negative."

According to Mr Clodong, the old adage that France is wonderful, it's just the French who are the problem, is shared across Europe.

"We are admired for our trains, the Airbus and Michelin tyres. But the buck stops there," he said.

Another section of the study deals with how the French see the rest of Europe.

"Believe it or not, the English and the French use almost exactly the same adjectives to describe each other - bar the word 'insular'," Mr Coldong said. "So the feelings are mutual."
