Replying to: ladywclass (Aug 13, 2004 2:27 pm) we were surprised to see one station wagon that had a retractable roof ... pretty much like the one that is now on the GMC thing .... (whatever it's called ... we tend to think the abbreviation is something like SUX but I know that's not it .. lol) Brenda, we've mentioned that a few times here. It was the Lark Wagonaire. It's a neat idea, and would love to see Subaru offer it as possible Outback variant. BTW, about 10 years ago, I was at that museum. It is a neat place. As I recall it used to be an old Studebaker dealer, and I think was across the street from the old Studebaker factory IIRC. Bob

I would have never thought I'd be this way about my kids/grandchildren, but we took them to the airport today after a 2 week visit and the little boys (4 & 8) were crying and grandma was fighting it til they got out of sight .... somehow in my 'old age' I've become very 'sentimental' ... Brenda trying to get back to the 'usual' .... Replies to this message: njswamplands (Aug 14, 2004 5:02 pm) ladywclass (Aug 14, 2004 7:15 pm) njswamplands (Aug 15, 2004 7:34 am)

Just returned from a week at York Beach, Maine. Rented a cottage 200 yards from the ocean. The weather was fantastic. Spent the week riding my mountain bike, boogie boarding with my son, drinking Coronas and generally relaxing. Visited the Nubble Lighthouse every single night at the request of my boy. Catching up on all the posts. My contribution to the toad thread, I did see one frog on the road. Back to reality. Rob M.

Replying to: njswamplands (Aug 14, 2004 5:02 pm) different daughter ... in fact since the last post I've found out that the 'aztec' family needs lots of prayers and positive energy ... i'm very open but i can't quite post what's going on there ...

#21800 of 31413 Well, I am back (and trying to catch up)! by fibber2 Aug 15, 2004 (9:11 am)
We finished up the acceptance testing in The Netherlands early, and had some time to play. As I had mentioned, I was disappointed by downtown Eindhoven - too much of it looked like the style of "early '50 urban renewal", the unfortunate consequence of being trashed by a world war. I mentioned my quest for the 'real Europe' to my host's, and they had a great idea. So we jumped into a car (new Opal Vectra - quite nice...), and headed southeast to the town of Ghent (west of Antwerp), in Belgium. Unbelieveable city center! Like stepping back 500 years or so. Narrow cobblestone streets, a medieval castle and churches, beautiful architecture abounds. Dinner outside on the street - Flemish beer/beef stew, a big pot of steamed muscles, white beer. Evening temps around 75'F with a very slight breeze. A slice of heaven... The next morning we got up early and headed back to Amsterdam. Drove around the downtown - more square footage of canals than roads, with a stop at Anne Frank House before returning to the airport for the afternoon flight home. Oh, got upgraded to Business/First on Continental. Nice ending to a great week! Most places that we traveled had a great setup - roads for cars, red brick paths for cyclists, sidewalks for walkers. Subi count? Poor.... An older Legacy wagon, two Imprezas. Not a place with great brand penetration. Steve

Steve -- sounds like you had a nice trip. Did Jim have anything to do with your upgrade? International first or even business is oh, so nice. Ken Replies to this message: jfl (Aug 15, 2004 2:16 pm) fibber2 (Aug 16, 2004 4:45 am)

Don't know what the problem is but you can sure count on me and I am sure the rest of the crew to remember your family for prayers and positive thoughts. Cheers Pat.

Replying to: kens (Aug 15, 2004 12:23 pm) Couldn't help if I wanted to, I very rarely fly with them. Those loyalty (frequent flier) programs really hook you. The perks like boarding first, extra legroom, bonus miles, priority for upgrades, etc. are really hard to pass up by choosing a different carrier.
