Was there a parade I wasn’t invited to? I think “Earhart” is the perfect name for rental car lots, and doubly so for those with machinery that directs the driver to spiral downward into deep water. Perhaps we should be happy that “Earhart” wasn’t chosen by the people over at Burbank Airport. Although, I think Bob Hope was in a movie called “Cancel My Reservation”. That’s a bad omen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-1160671474819001362006-10-12T09:44:00.000-07:002006-10-12T09:44:00.000-07:00I always found Neverlost to be helpful, but your m...I always found Neverlost to be helpful, but your mileage may vary.<BR/><BR/>I loved it so much, I got a Garmin unit for my vehicle.<BR/><BR/>Your mileage may vary...Dwaconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07544514023626682777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-1160604467178035352006-10-11T15:07:00.000-07:002006-10-11T15:07:00.000-07:00Thanks for mentioning KFRC.

It makes a great road trip and offers real bang for the buck. Once you get sick of wine, not much else to do.

An even larger regret, the disappearance of the Compass Rose bar/lounge at the San Francisco Westin, where one could enjoy wonderful live music and cocktails and feel like you were back in New York in the 40s (or at least what geezers tell me New York in the 40s was like). It was like visiting a noir film or one of the Thin Man flicks.<BR/><BR/>Apparently, visiting Cyprus gives one a case of exclamationpointitis!!!!!the third coasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14497430805179694970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-1160571049365320422006-10-11T05:50:00.000-07:002006-10-11T05:50:00.000-07:00Glad to see the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce has fin...Glad to see the Cyprus Chamber of Commerce has finally checked in...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-1160561005934522052006-10-11T03:03:00.000-07:002006-10-11T03:03:00.000-07:00I'm happy that you had a great time!!!

There you'd have spent a greater time for sure!!! :) The fact is that it's my favourite place to spend holidays!!! The only thing to decide is where to stay (and you know, it's not the last thing to think of!) The hotels on Cyprus are suppper with all the conveniences, entertainments!!! I've stayed in many of them! But this year I’ve made up my mind to chose another place for staying and it is a <A HREF="http://www.cyprusholidaysvillas.com" REL="nofollow">Cyprus villa</A>!!!How it was great: no noisy neighbours, crazy crowd, always hurrying somewhere and knocking you down!!! :) Silence, your best friends and almost empty beach!!!! That's my way of spending holidays!!! :) Highly recommend such to you too!!!
