Since Rick Steves discovered the Twilight Zone, it's just overrun with his groupies. I suggest looking for another mind-altering universe that's more authentic.

How should I pack for an ego trip?

I left my heart ((L)) in San Francisco, and now I'm in a New York state of mind @-) so I think I'll take a holiday in Cambodia ((H)) although wasting away in Margaritaville also has its appeal ((d))...

Sneeky, I'm not sure how you should pack for an ego trip, but the airline you should fly is Aero Gance.

Jerry Lewis is popular in France.
The Bay Watch dude is popular in Germany.
The Iron Curtain fell.

If I wear socks with my Birkenstocks, will I look like a German tourist?

Is travel travail?

Of all the neat stuff to read about on this site, and I ran into this one. I must have been bored out of my skull to click on it. People, I know you can do better. Don't ask: "better than what?"

What are the hours that this board is open???

II, I strongly disagree! I found this a few days ago looking for something else and couldn't stop laughing. I was mad, too, because it was posted the weekend we went away to the beach! See what happens on this board when your back's turned...

dln, now you are back, so it becomes alive again.
EUREKA!!! ...a talented posting....lol

I was wondering where everyone went...I'm still at Harry's Bar.........
...........SEND GONDOLA!!!!!

Thank you Mimi, even though I didn't win your crossword clue. Round II begin; silliness is the order of the day!!!!

I'm still wearing my sneakers to Europe. No one will notice because of my gorgeous red lipstick.

((K))

Bailey! you are alive!!!! We were worried, we did not find you, you must have passed out under one of the tables.
May I keep your pareo as a remembrance of the time you.........?

LOL dln

May I suggest the psychiatric clinic at Bellevue. They have worked miracles.

So CAN two people fit into an Air France lavatory??

What are your recommendations for this trip? And why am I in a handbasket?

This baby seal walks into a club...

To answer Marge's question "what kind of shoes should I wear to post?"

If you are a horse, wear horseshoes.

If you are a human, wear the shiny black riding boots that all the jockeys wear.

It is now post time.

I have to fly from Rome to Chicago.
Only direct connection available is with A.A. but I'm so afraid, once on board, stewardess can arbitrary introduce herself and ask me about how my day has been.
Should I put a tuxedo on in order to let her know I am not american ?

Calamari: yes...wear your socks with Teva's instead...

...

No, No, Canard, with her IQ, she may think you are a penguin and will have the SPCA waiting for you.

Only if Canard waddles when he's going down the aisle...

Try the Groucho Marx walk and you should be fine. "Walk this way..."

Heat wave in Europe! American men resort to Speedos in effort to cool off!

"We like the natural air conditioning," confided one man interviewed on the beach in Paris.

I have to stay at the very best hill town (not second best, please) in Provence.

If an American goes to Europe wearing cut-off jean shorts and sneakers, looks for a McDonalds for every meal, tries to use greenbacks rather than the local "monopoly money" and spends every moment taking pictures of the funny old buildings, but nobody is around to see him (her) - is he still an ugly American?

Yes

I've been fantasizing about meeting Rick Steves on Rue Cler.

Me.

Where, oh where, is Elvira?

Alright, people....I've got a cheesy disposable camera and I'm not afraid to use it. Say Cheeky Monkey!

I need directions to Bedlam. I need company to go with me to Bedlam. I need the best price, in real money, please get me to Bedlam.

I need...oh heck!....this IS Bedlam!

dln.....you're gonna laugh at this:

There is a small village near where I live in the UK, that is actually named Bedlam. As you go into the village, there is a sign - no kidding - that says "BEDLAM.....please drive carefully."

Makes me grin every time I see it.

That's up there with the sign in Fort Meyers Beach that names the road as "Lovers Lane."

Underneath it is a traffic sign saying "dead end."

Ouch!

Rita, I've had the same fantasy....ha!

Bugswife1, I agree, where IS Elvira? Miss her talented posts.

Ciglechanta, BirmhamRocks :
thanks , but I decided , then, not to hide my nationality.
So, I've just started up watching The Sopranos in order to look a real italian.
