You have Florida, and that's the fricking beach pic you go with? ...

Another tip: if your trip is open ended, let a flight deal make decisions for you. Block out (mentally and with your work) a time like early-mid May. Then wait til early March and see what kind of flight deals show up. There's almost always something if you're flexible with dates and locations. Eith...

Payment methods: Visa and Mastercard will be fine just about everywhere you go. Make sure your card has a chip and has no foreign transaction fees. For cash, just go to ATM at your arrival airport. Notify your bank you're traveling. Time of year: I suggest May. It'll be before the summer crowd...

Not completely off the beaten path, but US 97 in Oregon from Bend to Maupin to The Dalles is gorgeous. ...

Looks like there's spotty blue across the south. My guess would be land use changes - forest regrowth. ETA: if there's also been increased precipitation, then there's your answer. ...

[quote]hungryone[/quote] I remember you started a thread about Provence/Dordogne a while back. Did you ever go? Anything to share? We're headed to both regions for 11 days in October. Think we have Provence figured out, so specifically looking for some off the beaten path spots in Dordogne. What ar...

Yeah Turkish always pops up for me on Google flight searches. I'd definitely consider it for going to Greece or eastern Europe or the ME. I flew it once 10 years ago, but that was when I was working overseas, so not sure what the IAH-IST trip is like. ...

Manuals are much cheaper and easier to find when renting in Europe. ...

I'd suggest more time in Strasbourg. It's such a great city, and they'd be really close to Colmar and the Alsace wine region villages. September may be around harvest time so there could even be festivals in some of the villages. ...

A pic or two or twelve would be nice too ...

The turf place wasn't open Saturday, so taking the afternoon off today to drop a half pallet of sod to patch the yard. This coming weekend is honey harvest weekend :nana:...

Is ctrl+alt+del really a hack? Same with cleaning the mouse ball - that's just the regular way to do it. ...

[quote]Stanford's Department of Public Safety says it is investigating the incident as a "suspicious circumstance"[/quote] Assuming this actually happened (it didn't), what else does she want them to do? :lol:...

[quote]And actions have consequences, do they not? [/quote] No one is saying there shouldn't be justice or punishment. But there's a not so fine line between removing someone from society for the rest of their life and intentionally taking their life. ...

[quote]A federal murder charge can occur when[/quote] Thanks. Honestly I had no idea federal murder charges existed. The federalist in me doesn't like it, but obviously I'm ignorant on this issue. On one hand, it's murder, not exactly controversial. On the other hand, why can't the states handle th...

Forgive my ignorance... why were they tried in federal court? How could those federal district courts have sentenced death? Do those respective states have the death penalty? ...

Finally patching the yard with sod. A month ago I roundup-ed anything not St. Aug (was mostly monkey grass). It's been a couple big patches of brown long enough. Throwing down new sod Thursday and ready to water the shite out of it. ...
