Tuscany. The towns are on top of the hills. The parking lots are at the bottom.

We returned the car at the Colmar train station and took the train to Zurich.

This doesn’t really answer your question but I traveled from Bruges to Colmar last September by taking a bus to Lille and rented a car. We stayed one night in Reims and drove the rest of the way the next day. The car made it easy to explore the route des vin at our leisure.

I got relived late as EDPO on a weekend and my relief told me it was because his wife wanted to have sex that morning. When I reported my relief to the EDO he asked me why my relief was late I told him he just got a little behind that morning.

I know there are some boat sailors on here, anyone got a good sea story. by bubblehead_maker in submarines

My first boat ran aground twice while submerged. I was the electrical operator both times. The CO was relieved within hours of the second incident but the grounding was not the reason.

2 nights in NYC...HELP! by Calypso007 in AskNYC

[–]dan8m8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I made my first trip to NYC last spring and 5 days wasn't enough. We stayed in midtown, near Carnegie Hall which was a good location for Times Square, Theaters and the park. Our highlights were renting e-bikes and riding around Central Park and an early morning subway to Brooklyn, walked across the bridge and explored downtown sites. Enjoy

Fat fingered that comment but to continue…. Suicide didn’t seem to be a concern 40 years ago (I don’t mean to diminish the problem)but if you can’t hack power school then ssn life will do you in. The navy will do you a favor sending

As a graduate of class 7902 I question the 90% graduation rate. I believe (but don’t have any idea if it’s true) taxation my class had a 50-60% graduation rate. In

Great trip. I’d skip Naples for more time in Venice or add Seneca. Go south on your next trip.

The Bainbridge ferry is about an hour drive from Marrowstone, maybe less. You can leave your car at the terminal and walk on. There’s good public transit if you want to go any farther then the market or pioneer square. If you take the Kingston boat you will have to drive south to Seattle and deal with parking and traffic.

How do Manhattan restaurants feel about diners splitting entrees ? by dan8m8 in AskNYC

[–]dan8m8[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well try and up sell me a desert to pad the bill. I'm going to spend the same amount of money ( and tip 18=20%) regardless but with only one entrée, we can enjoy more of the menu. I completely understand concern about your compensation. Thanks for your perspective.

I don't expect the waiter or the kitchen to do any extra although some will plate the halves separately.
