Well, traveling by "sea", for six hours out and six hours back (several days apart), is one thing. When the prospect is for six or seven days of continuous misery, I'm a little more reticent. And it's really strange. As a kid, I suffered from car sickness quite a bit, but that hasn't happened in many years, and I've never been motion sick in an airplane, large or small, even in the nastiest weather and turbulence. I've never been sick on any of the smaller ships or boats I've traveled on, either. But that trip to and from Grand Bahama made it clear that I'm running a risk on a long voyage on a big ship. Which really sucks. I've also wanted for a long time to do a Europe trip where I fly in and out of England, and take the Channel Tunnel in one direction and the hovercraft ferry in the other to access the mainland from England. I've ridden the TGV from Paris to Rouen before, but I wouldn't mind riding it again. There are just so many places in Europe that I'd like to go, not to mention places in the US, that I could spend the rest of my life visiting them and never see the rest of the world. -- Thanks, DougF (KG4LMZ) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
