[PRCo] Re: Shoulda, Coulda, would

[John Swindler]

Just about anything the feds propose should be put in terms of borrowing money from China:  sending foreign aid to countries, paying farmers not to plant, bailing out the greed of banks, home builders and borrowers for subprime mortgages, etc.  And how many million did it cost to notify us of the tax refund?  
 
Getting back to travel:  Somewhere I saw an interesting package for October that included 2 nights Berlin, 2 nights Prague, 2 nights Vienna, rail between cities and air for about $1200-$1400.  Might have to wind up the gum band for the plane's propeller, but other then that.  (:>)
 
And Prague is like Antwerp - reminded me of red and cream PRC streetcars from years ago.  (just to get back on list theme)
