The Sheraton Addis is like any luxury American hotel transplanted into the middle of some of Addis' slums. I went there once during my stay to exchange money in the lobby, it was during the time Clinton was there to open an AIDS clinic and incidentally he had one of the private cottages reserved for...
Jump to postDl757-Agreed, maybe my wording wasn't exactly correct but you clarified everything. I just meant to say that watching "Lance Chronicles" and speaking to different cyclists, its clear that Lance puts emphasis on the Tour more than anything else. So do Tyler and Jan, but it just seems that I always se...
Jump to postDL757- What I said is not an opinion--it is a well known fact that Lance indeed spends most of his season in preparation for the Tour. Not saying that other riders dont, but they intend to win other races. I was speaking on a general note when i said that--of course Hamilton and Ullrich train for th...
Jump to postLance looks very strong this year but one has to realize that his team is completley built around him and willing to make every sacrifice just for him. Sure, other teams are built around their team leaders (Rabobank-Levi Leipheimer; Phonak-Tyler Hamilton; T-Mobile-Jan Ullrich, etc) but Lance is righ...

Hello, I am thinking about buying either a playstation 2 or an xbox. Price is not an issue as i know they are both the same price (or similar). Which has better graphics/games/dvd/or anything else? If anyone has any advice or pros/cons then please post! Thanks! Mark.
Jump to postHey- i flew the L1011 a lot back in the days when Delta still had them-mainly transatlantic, I'm not sure which routes but we flew into Frankfurt alot. The one main characteristic that has stuck in my head about the aircraft was during startup, taxi, or at the gate, the engine on top of the aircraft...

I was in ATL yesterday (8/15), and around 9:45 DL67 from Zurich got in, but it was scheduled to arrive at 2:00. Does anyone know why it was so late?
Thanks,

Hey, I was in Paris yesterday (8/15) and it was there, i think it was operating CDG-ATL, or CDG-CVG. Also the Spirit of Delta 767 was at Atlanta yesterday too.

Hey, I was just at lake Buena Vista, at the Marriot World Center Hotel. It was great. There was the greatest pool there and it is near all the theme parks.

If you take spanish, then that will be awesome, since you will know french, spanish, and english, three of the most used languages in the world. Also, i think, that the EU will use French, so that will be good.

Hey guys,
Why do they stop in Luxembourg? Wouldn't they go for a more lucrative stop such as Frankfurt/London/Paris or somewhere liek that? Is it for cargo or priveleges or what?

Poland is not that bad. Except they steal your radio from your car. Walking alone at night is perfectly safe in Krakow. You may encounter some weird people but generally there are always other people on the street so they wouldnt do anything to you.

Yep, i would have to agree with some of you, its terrible!!!
It looks like some medical aircraft or 60's type, too much white with too little red, and the "swiss" writing is in thinner letters, it looks awful!!!

Are you kidding me? This is quite possibly on of the craziest things i have ever heard. Of course theories and conspiracies are going to fly but this is just so damn stupid.
