>>>>My wife has a back condition so we can't drive very far in a day. She wanted to try camping again (we used to always go that way) and hoped the sun and the heat might help her back. Unfortunately it didn't. I had suggested I drive and she fly and we may try that next time though with her back the airport can be a bit daunting as well.

>>>I don't have a back condition (yet, but it is coming - have the same weakness in my frame as my father) and if I have serious traveling across europe to plan I always check for night trains as well as flights as to avoid sitting somewhere I cannot easily get up and stroll... for women the space usually is more than enough.

>>Good suggestion. And there are usually some great deals on the TGV in France....

>Yupp. Now I have a fast car with ample space and good seats, but driving from beyond Naples or from Malaga or Tarragona is no fun anymore. But the rental cars you get down there SUCK ;-)
I remember renting a car in Rome and having to sign a statement that I would not take the car south of Naples :-) lest it wind up in a container bound for Russia or Africa.
Charles Hankey
Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
