Does any one know of any good travel apps that work well in Europe?
I'm planning on going interrailing at Easter and don't want to be carrying lots of heavy maps and books with me so plan on using my iphone to help me get around.
I'll be visiting France, Italy, Austria, Hungary, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Germany and the Netherlands before returning to the UK.
Obviously, there's Google maps, but I'm really looking for an app that can act like a my own mini tour guide and can do a bit more than just navigate.

Does any one know of any good travel apps that work well in Europe?

I've looked into travel-app guides in the past, but I haven't found any that are as good as a good guide book. You can now get a number of guide books in Kindle format, however, and there is a Kindle app for Android and iPhone.
Google Maps is useful for other things than mapping. It's very useeful for finding things. Once, after being stung by wasps, I used Google Maps to find a pharmacy. Another time, here in Italy, but in a city not near our home, we used it to find a hardware (ironmonger) shop.
Google Goggles will identify buildings and statues in your vicinity. If you take a photo of a sign, it will translate it for you.
You need to have GPS turned on for these two Google Apps to work well. GPS really runs a battery down quickly, so I turn it off as soon as I'm finished using it.
I have a Dropbox app on my phone, which I find very useful for traveling. I put all my reservations and train schedules, and any other documents that would otherwise weigh me down, in a Dropbox folder called "Travel", which I further subdivide by trip.
For maps, I find a phone screen too small for the map to be useful. I always get a good paper map for a trip. Usually hotels have one, but I've also found good folding maps in bookshops.
Google Translate has been useful to me in various cities.
Other apps that I've found useful are specific to a particular city or country. Some cities have good public transportation apps. Some train companies have good intercity travel apps.
Finally, there are web sites that are as useful as, or even more useful than, an app. I don't know what kind of phone you have, but I have put shortcuts to various websites on my home screen, or in a folder on my home screen. Just for example, there is a mobile website for the ATAC public transportation agency in Rome, muovi.roma.it , which tells you the nearest bus stop, how long you'll have to wait for a bus, and which bus you should take to get to your destination. This site is very well optimized for the small screen of a phone. Whenever I'm in Rome, I put a shortcut to this website on my home screen. Of course, it uses data services, but so do many of the apps I've mentioned above. Traveline UK has an app, which I suppose is not news to you, but I think their website is even more useful, because it's always up to date.

Many rail services offer apps.
Since you are interrailing they could prove very useful.
A quick search will give you the websites of national rail providers, or you could just search your app store for them.

It would probably be necessary to combine the electronic and the paper media.
I have traveled with all paper, then all electronic, and now I combine them to benefit from properties offered by each type of media.
The limitations with all electronic approach were: near impossibility in reading the screen under bright sun light, taking time to fire the apps and touch over to the page of interest instead of using stick it flags, time required to write info on the fly similar to writing on book margins or making maps, and finally, iPhones are the prime theft targets especially when you have to refer to them in unprotected areas. No one cares to pick pocket maps or guidebooks.
Also GPS on Smartphone not only chews up battery quickly, it does not lock in the position quickly, if at all, even with cell tower assist turned on in densely built up areas where you need the help the most.
Public transit apps are written for the residents first. Some offer only the local language pages or in English for selected pages only.
Report Abuse
Google Maps does not work offline on the iPhone. I recommende download the Spotted by Locals (www.spottedbylocals.com) city guides for really nice up-to-date insider tips in all big cities in the countries you're visiting. They work offline, so won't cost you any internet roaming.
You won't find highlight there though - for that I recommend the free Triposo guide.

Thanks for all your help.
I'd overlooked the safety/theft aspect of solely using a phone - potential disaster averted! I suppose using maps is an inevitable part of travelling. I'll probably be best using a combination of digital tech and good ol' fashioned maps, picking up the free local maps from hotels/tourist info offices as I go to minimize on weight and avoid clutter.
I like the look of the Spotted by Locals app and LOVE the fact it won't rack up a huge data roaming bill!
One app I've come across and really like is called World Around Me (http://worldaroundmeapp.com/). It's uses augmented reality ( pretty cool!!) and all you have to do is type in what your looking for or choose from a list of categories and then just hold your phone up and it displays where things are as you move around.
It pulls all it's info from Google Maps/Google Places so it's pretty accurate. I gave it a go in Manchester earlier this week and it seemed to do the job pretty well - although it did miss off one or two places I'd have expected to see, presumably because they're don't have a page on Google Places or something?
I love just wondering round and seeing what I discover as I go so I'd imagine WAM could be pretty handy if I want to find out where bars/restaurants are and read reviews before deciding whether to go there or not - I suppose it sort of combines Google Maps with Trip Advisor in that respect.
My only real concern with it is running up a huge phone bill as I go.

|Erdrick's armor
|Japanese name
|Roto no yoroi
|Introduced in
|Dragon Quest
Erdrick's armor is a piece of equipment found in Dragon Quest. It belonged to a legendary hero who saved Alefgard, and is the strongest armor in the game. It cannot be bought at any store, and can only be found in Damdara, buried in the ground, but NPC's in Cantlin give away hints at where it is located. The NPC's say that it is located on a tree patch, and right next to a shop in Hauksness. If you encounter a battle with an Knight aberrant, you have found the armor. When you defeat the Knight aberrant, search the ground to find the armor. Due to text restrictions in the Gameboy Color remake of Dragon Quest, Erdrick's armor was changed to "Loto" with a picture of armor next to it.

text: This is how I change blades on my WB, it takes very little time. The benefit is I don't remove the cover but you have to get handy with the airtool or you will drop a washer or nut inside the cover, requiring you to remove the cover. Still, I get it right most the time. See pic on how to use the air-tool: http://atopqualitysite.com/lawnpics/Picture 9b.jpg - With the cover in place, use the access holes to LOOSEN the nuts. Do NOT remove the nut with the airtool or the washer will fall under the cover, requiring you to remove the cover. Do this for all 3 nuts. - Once loosened, prop the front of the mower on a jackstand thou I like using my knee for speed. On the new machine (pictured) the front is heavier than on the old one so I use both knees. - With one hand holding the bladebolt from underneath, use finger + thumb to take the nut off careful not to drop it. Once off, pick out the washer and drop the blade. Do this for all 3. - Grab the blades out from underneath and install fresh, sharp blades onto the bolts with the washers in place and all that. To re-install: - Grab a blade by the bottom and insert it from below. - Plop a washer onto the bladebolt and then hand-tighten the nut a few turns. Do this for all 3 blades. - Lower the front of the mower and re-tighten with the air tool. Other notes: Sometimes when a nut or washer falls inside, it will slide and fall out around where the engine is. If it doesn't, sometimes shaking the machine a little will do it, but ultimately cover removal could be the only solution. Warning: Do NOT fall for the temptation of holding the bladebolt from underneath while taking the nut off with the airtool so as to keep the washer from falling - The airtool can spin the bladebolt in your hand and tear up your skin (nevermind the blade is right there, too). The electrical tape on the cover (by the muffler) protects the paint for when I flip up the discharge / chute guard. When it works, it's much easier and faster than taking the cover off. Peace


text: 1) The pics that I send to people via email turn out HUGE! I'm sure they're hogging space in my phone, too, if they're that big. How can I downsize these? 2) How can I get camera settings to stick? As it is, I have to select what settings I want to use for each picture if I don't use the camera in awhile. Sorry for the noob questions. I'm sure I'll be asking more . I'm LOVING this phone, though!

Networked Procurement
Networking as future strategy delivers measurable higher and sustainable value for your company
Due to the increase in economic tension companies have optimized the organization, processes and systems in procurement over the last years and achieved related savings. Nevertheless companies are realizing that they have not yet reached the full value-added potential in procurement. The underlying reason being the low degree of networking of procurement with other functions, which often can be explained through the amendable qualification of procurement employees and the resulting lack of acceptance for procurement.

Chloe Grace Moretz Lands Lead Role in The Miseducation of Cameron PostNovember 18, 2016 - Author: admin - Comments are closed
Chloe Grace Moretz has landed a new role. Chloe has been cast as the lead in the new indie film, The Miseducation of Cameron Post.
Based on Emily Danforth's novel, the film follows "Cameron Post (Moretz), a 12-year-old Montana girl who is sent to live with her ultra-conservative aunt after her parents die in a crash. She develops a relationship with her best friend, who happens to be the prom queen, and is sent to a "de-gaying" camp that offers conversion therapy."
I am going to guess they are going to make Chloe's character a little older for this film, but it sounds like it will be a good role for her!

"Just amazing" and "breathtaking" are only some of the dramatic descriptions viewers express of their experience after viewing high-definition video footage. They perceive so many various shades of color, with sizzling subtle details, that they feel they are live at the scene experiencing the footage first hand. High-definition image capture and delivery is exploding into the world market with increasing momentum.
At home, consumers adamantly expect the best-quality imagery attainable from their cable, satellite, and over-the-air TV service providers. Simply stated, HD colors are vibrant and vivid, and the image detail retains sharpness and accuracy on the screen, corner to corner. You can read the names on the football jerseys; the type is extremely sharp and clear.
In the past, HD image capture was only attainable to real high-end, premier shooters on location for film, sports, and HD video broadcast studios. A little over three years ago, the notion of buying a high-definition camcorder was inconceivable for the general public. Today we can buy a full high-definition camcorder which fits in our jacket pocket. without breaking the bank.
In addition to features such as compact size, camcorder manufacturers offer consumers a choice of methods with which to record their high-definition video. We can capture HD onto flash media cards, compact 3" (8-cm) DVD's, hard disk drives, and MiniDV tapes. Any HD camcorder with an HDMI output (High-Definition Multimedia Interface, which carries the video and audio signals through one cable) can be connected easily to your HDTV plasma or LCD monitor's HDMI input to display your high-resolution footage instantly. To process HD imagery on a computer requires a closer look, with greater understanding of the high-definition formats HDV (MPEG2 compression), AVC HD (AVC /H.264 MPEG4 compression), and their implementation within your work flow. HDV records HD onto MiniDV tapes, while the AVCHD records HD onto consumer DVD, hard disk drive, and flash memory card camcorders. Their performance and software support will be discussed below.
To cherry-pick the expanded line of impressive, high-definition consumer camcorders, let's start with a few notable models within their class.
The Sanyo VPC-HD1000 Xacti high-definition flash media camcorder offers recording either in 1920 x 1080i or 1280 x 720p full HD resolution onto SD/SDHC (high-capacity) memory cards. If you no longer want to worry about changing or transferring tapes, solid state recording onto flash memory cards is your ticket. Every time you start and stop the camcorder for recording, you create a thumbnail clip marking the start of the scene. This facilitates navigation through scenes' files for access to any section of your recorded footage quickly. The HD1000 incorporates a large 1/2.5" CMOS image sensor with 4-megapixel still resolution and encompasses the MPEG4 AVC/H.264 compression scheme for high-definition. It has a 10x optical HD zoom lens, and a fast 2-second startup-to-recording time. The VPC-HD1000 has an HDMI and component video output, built-in flash and light, as well as an external microphone input.
Hard disk drive (HDD) camcorders are part of another rapidly-growing medium for capturing video. They offer the videographer the capability of recording for extended periods without the concern or worry of changing a tape. A high-definition HDD camcorder with an internal 40GB hard drive can record up to 5 1/2 hours of HD footage. Similar to the characteristics of flash media, the HDD's also create thumbnail clips referencing the start of each scene, every time the start and stop button on the camcorder is pressed.
Sony HDR-SR7 is an AVCHD high-definition HDD Handycam camcorder with an internal 60GB hard drive. It is capable of recording and playing back both high-definition 1080i resolution and standard-definition video resolutions. Its professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* Lens incorporates advanced glass composition with anti-reflective coatings to ensure the capture of brilliant images with life-like color and tones. Its 1/2.9" CMOS sensor provides astonishing detail and clarity, and its x.v.Color technology facilitates the capture and display of nearly twice as many (1.8x) viewable colors than is currently possible, resulting in imagery that is richer in color. This camcorder incorporates Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization so that your footage has a smooth, steady look. The camcorder can capture an unbelievable 6.1 Megapixel still image, with excellent definition and sharpness, onto Memory Stick PRO Duo media. It has a bright 2.7" wide (16:9) LCD screen, built-in flash, active interface shoe, and an external microphone input.
Canon optics and image capture devices are consistently synonymous with performance and image brilliance. Their exclusive DIGIC DV II, newly-enhanced image processing for high-definition imagery ensures optimal image quality on both video and still footage. The Canon HG10 40GB internal hard disk drive camcorder captures up to 5 1/2 hours of 1920 x 1080 high-definition resolution video without the need to change tapes, cards, or DVD's. It implements a Canon HD-quality10x zoom lens, a large 1/2.7" CMOS image sensor, and RGB primary color filter. Together they facilitate the capture of consistent vibrant imagery with deep, rich, accurate colors, and natural-looking tones, similar to what you would obtain from a traditional 3CCD camcorder in its class. Canon outfits the camera with SuperRange optical image stabilization to alleviate and correct for shaky motion and vibration brought to the camcorder's image sensor. Another significant feature onboard is its Instant AF focusing system. Its objective is to focus the lens automatically with speed and accuracy, even in low-light conditions, to assure that your HD video will be crisp, sharp, with increased resolution, and with true-to-life colors. If you want to achieve a "film look," the 24p Cinema mode provides the appearance of the same frame rate as movie film to your videos.
Another popular hard drive 1080i HD camcorder is the JVC GZ-HD7. It features a 60GB internal hard drive, and to ensure you capture full 1920 x 1080 high-definition video and stills, JVC incorporates three 1/5" progressive-scan CCD sensors and a professional-quality FUJINON optical zoom lens. The lens is comprised of three aspherical elements and light-reflecting coatings which allow for the delivery of greater light transmission, with reduced lens flare and ghosting. All this results in exceptional HD video and stills. In addition, the camera has a manual focusing ring; to ensure that your video capture is smooth and precise, the camera's optical image stabilization compensates for vibration and shakiness without any quality loss to your HD recordings. The GZ-HD7 accepts SD/SDHC memory cards for still-image capture, and image files can be moved between the HDD and the SD card. It has an external microphone input, 2.8" LCD monitor, and color viewfinder.
HDV inaugurated Mini DV tapes into high-definition, raising the bar of recording for Mini DV tapes. The HDV format became many semi-professional filmmakers' highly-regarded choice of format. It has the greatest support and compatibility with computer editing software, on both Mac and PC. Essentially, there are two particular consumer HDV compact camcorders that offer high-definition 1080i resolution recording with a host of features that serious videographers desire for their productions.
When the Canon HV20 was first released, it quickly became a hit. It maintains Canon's legacy of optical excellence and advanced image processing. The HV20 incorporates Canon's own full HD 1/2.7" CMOS image sensor (1920 x 1080), RGB primary color filter, and advanced DIGIC DV II advanced HD image processor. The HD imagery that the camcorder captures is remarkably stunning. It has a plethora of features to help you create dazzling HD video. To start, it features a genuine Canon HD video lens with three pre-set zoom speeds to allow you to achieve smooth, steady, professional-looking zoom shots. It has advanced optical image stabilization to keep your shots steady with no loss in image quality, and its revolutionary Instant AF focusing system achieves crisp focus instantaneously in your HD footage. You can choose to see Grid Markers in your viewfinder to assist you in composing your shot accurately and level, and the 24p Cinema mode achieves a "film look" to your footage. The HV20 has an external microphone and headphone input, accessory shoe, and an HDMI output terminal.
Another great camcorder for aspiring movie makers is the Sony HDR-HC7. Over the years, Sony has earned customers' confidence the world over as a trusted leader in the manufacture of exceptional video camcorders. Its easy-to-use HDR-HC7 high-definition Handycam camcorder is a winner. It captures 1080i HD resolution video that renders vivid colors with accurate detail. To assure that your HD capture has the detail, clarity, and wide range of brilliant colors, Sony incorporates a 1/2.9" ClearVid 3.2 Mp CMOS image sensor and their x.v.Color processing technology. This technology captures nearly twice as many viewable colors than is currently possible. Your imagery will look more natural, with tonal qualities that let you relive your awe-inspiring experiences as if you had returned to the places where you shot the footage. The HC7 has a professional-quality Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* lens and Sony's advanced Super SteadyShot optical image stabilization system to ensure that your footage will be unwavering. You can capture 6 megapixel stills directly onto Memory Stick Duo media, shoot video in total darkness up to 10 feet away, and generate a "film look" for your footage through the HDR-HC7 Cinematic mode. It's a great little HD camcorder.
When it comes to editing in HD, there are several approaches to cutting your project on a Mac or PC. One of the major issues to understand is the difference between HDV and AVCHD, the two predominant HD recording formats available in today's consumer video camcorders. As AVCHD becomes more popular with home video aficionados because of its ability to record HD-quality video onto solid state media such as flash memory and DVD, more editing applications are being upgraded to support the future of ingesting video in a true non-linear fashion.
The recently-released Final Cut Express 4 supports AVCHD, so you can shoot, ingest, edit, and output video in just a fraction of the time it took previous tape-friendly applications. By taking the basic advanced interface of the full version of Final Cut Pro and customizing for intermediate video editors who have outgrown iMovie, Final Cut Express 4 offers LiveType for title creation and multiple video layers for advanced video compositing. Hundreds of real-time effects, filters, transitions, and 99 audio tracks round out the intuitive software.
But how do you import video into your Mac or PC with HD video? Most computers today come with USB or Firewire ports, but they don't take advantage of uploading true HD video. The Blackmagic Intensity Pro is a true HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) that is able to accept uncompressed HD video without any of the loss inherent with other ports. Compatible with both Mac and Windows, Intensity Pro supports 4:2:2 color space for superior titling and chromakeying. This capture card also allows you to down-convert your HD footage for mastering to SD at broadcast quality.
Finally, you will need extra storage space to keep all of this high-definition footage. The G-Tech G-RAID 2 comes in several sizes (2TB, 1.5TB, 1TB, and 500GB) and has three interfaces (USB 2.0, Firewire 400 and 800). G-Tech uses only SATA II drives with 16MB buffers for quick response time on HD playback from the timeline. Up to seven DV25 streams can be played back simultaneously, including four HDV, three DVCPRO HD, two 8-bit SD or one 10-bit SD streams. These RAID 0 drives are the perfect, reliable addition for anyone thinking about using their system for editing high-definition video footage.
Whether you've already upgraded to HD or not, standard video technology today is springing in leaps and bounds toward high-definition. Video camcorder sensors are becoming more and more sensitive, and their image processors are incredibly more efficient and accurate. And best of all, while this great quality is constantly rising, prices continue to tumble.

New safety campaign aims to cut tram crashes
Melbourne motorists are being urged to be more careful around trams.
The State Government and Yarra Trams have launched a campaign to try to reduce the number of collisions between vehicles and trams.
There are almost 900 crashes each year and five of the top ten hotspots for accidents are in the CBD.
The intersection of Collins Street and Elizabeth Street is the worst.
Public Transport Minister Terry Mulder says motorists need to start treating trams with more respect.
"Around 80 per cent of the network has trams and vehicles intermingling and it's very important that drivers of cars, heavy vehicles, taxi drivers in particular, take extreme caution around the tram tracks," he said.
"Be very aware of the yellow lines."
Yarra Trams spokesman, Simon Murphy, says crashes often happen when motorists turn right or do a U-turn in front of trams which can travel at up to 60 kilometres per hour.
"It's often where trams can be travelling at higher speeds into the city, any driver who goes through a cut-through, potentially turning right in front of a tram, the consequences can be fatal," he said.
"It (a tram) weighs as much as 30 rhinos. That's why we have the rhino in the campaign. So it really can cause fatal consequences."

* Wins 73,000 new subscribers vs f'cast 55,000
* Q1 operating loss 55 mln eur, in line with estimates
* Shares up 4.3 pct, hit highest in 19 months
(Adds analyst comment, shares)
By Nicola Leske
BERLIN, May 12 (Reuters) - Loss-making pay-TV broadcaster Sky Deutschland AG SKYDn.DE won more subscribers than expected in the first quarter, bringing it closer to profitability and boosting its shares to a 19-month high.
The company formerly known as Premiere, in which News Corp (NWSA.O) owns a 49.9 percent stake and whose main draw is German premier league soccer, has suffered from sluggish growth because of Germans' reluctance to pay for premium TV content.
Chief Executive Brian Sullivan, who took the helm in April 2010, said on Thursday: "We are happy with the results but at the same time are aware that this is just the beginning and there is still plenty to do."
The stock rose as high as 3.437 euros, its highest since October 2009, and was up 4.5 percent at 3.344 euros by 1005 GMT, outpacing the STOXX Europe 600 media index .SXMP which was down 1 percent.
In the quarter, Sky Deutschland added 73,000 new subscribers, which put its total subscribers by end-March at 2.73 million and well above estimates of around 55,000.
Sullivan has said that the market's understanding that the company should break even at around 3 million subscribers or slightly fewer was broadly correct.
Analysts at UBS noted Sky had delivered another strong set of results and estimated net additions could reach 365,000 if the record low churn of 9.9 percent continues for the rest of the year.
"This is Sky's third consecutive quarter meeting or beating expectations. We believe a succession of solid quarters combined with credible long term guidance adds further support to the bull case on Sky," UBS analysts said.
Sky Deutschland, which also broadcasts Hollywood movies, documentaries, dramas and pornography, has said its core earnings will improve significantly in 2011 but will remain negative. It has also said it will give an update on its outlook in the second quarter of this year.
Sky Deutschland's first-quarter loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation reached 55 million euros ($79.2 million) compared with 64.5 million a year earlier and bang in line with the average analyst estimate.
Quarterly sales were 269.6 million euros, slightly more than the 265 million estimated.
The company is Germany's only pure play pay-TV broadcaster, a tricky business because consumers can choose from more than 30 free channels and are reluctant to pay extra.
In addition, cable companies and incumbent telecom group Deutsche Telekom (DTEGn.DE) are keen to have their fingers in the pie by offering their own TV services in an effort to tap new revenue streams. (Editing by David Holmes) ($1=.6948 Euro)

Jeb's Lament
Okay, I admit, it's been a while since I've been in a fist fight. I've been in fights, sure, but most people around here use weapons. This was plain, bare-fisted mayhem. Been a few years since someone picked a fight with me. So you can imagine my surprise at being knocked to my knees with the first hit, a quick jab thrown mid-conversation. I don't see myself as a glass jaw fighter but this guy's sucker punch sure as hell made me feel like one. I used to be able to hold my own in a fight. I'm not used to losing arguments. But there I was, kneeling on the wooden planks of the dock, watching the blood from my busted lip pool beneath me.
"C'mon!" said a voice from above me. "I'm not through with you yet."
Ah condescension, that I'm used to. Nobody considers I might be a better fighter than I appear to be. Like this guy, Jeb, at least twice my size and obviously trying to prove he's a tough guy. He stepped forward, moving a little too close. I inhaled, letting saltwater air fill my lungs, invigorating me. I tensed, and in one smooth motion I rose to my feet and drove my fist into his chin. I heard something crack, who knows what - his jaw, my fist, his teeth. Probably all three, considering the throbbing pain in my clenched fist.
One of his drunken friends laughed. "You asked fer that Jeb. Hoo-rah whatta hit!"
Jeb stumbled back and shook his head. "Motherf..." he slurred, then fiddled with his jaw. "Frak."
I edged closer, forcing him to stumble back another step. And there it was, the sun shining in his eyes from above the cliffs behind me. He squinted and I took advantage of the opening. I spun around, building momentum, and drove my foot into his chest with an authoritative thud. Sound of wood shuddering from the impact of his backside ceased his friends' laughter.
Even the ocean seemed to pause for a moment, crystalline waves poised like serpents ready to strike at the sand.
Jeb clutched his chest like he was trying to reorganize his lungs. His friends stared, mouths agape. Every beat of my heart pounded in my chest, sending needles of pain to my lip.
Then the sharp tinny sound of a bell rang out from the ship coming in. I needed the dock cleared.
"So," I said. "You gonna move that boat now?"
Jeb grumbled something incoherent, so what was I supposed to do?
I kicked his head, knocking him out, and turned to his friends. "Move that boat, then get this jerk out of here."
They glanced at each other, then nodded in unison. "Yes ma'am."

Mets catcher takes scenic route to spring training
Mets' catcher Travis d'Arnaud made his trip to spring training memorable this year. He and his traveling companions spent 9 days driving across the country in a 30-foot RV, d'Arnaud told Daily News writer Anthony McCarron.
"I thought waking up in the Grand Canyon on New Year's Day and going out to see the sunrise on the Canyon was pretty great," d'Arnaud told McCarron.
They also stopped in New Orleans and Panama City Beach.
"We have about 50 to 100 pictures each," d'Arnaud said, laughing, McCarron reports.
Which totally does not sound like enough photos for a nine day trip to me. I'm sure I would have taken at least that many during even a quick stop at the Grand Canyon. But then again, maybe d'Arnaud is better at experiencing moments rather than trying to document and share them than I am.

Neighborhood is a bit sketchy but parking available in hotel. Since we were visiting downtown, the location was okay. Single elevator access to room floors is old and slow. Hallway on second floor was littered. First room assigned to us on second floor was clean but had a door connecting to adjoining room. Fortunately we arrived in the afternoon. When our neighbors arrived just after we first entered our room and we could hear every word said between them. After offering to call our neighbors to tell them to keep quiet, management gave us a new room on 4th floor without any connecting door . The problem was our neighbors were talking normally. We didn't feel like sharing our conversations with them either. The new room was quiet with nice bed and decor. Unfortunately the sink drain leaked on to the bathroom floor. No major problem, just a wet floor when you used the sink. The breakfast included many nice options and the coffee was decent quality.
