TexasCanary 0 Posted May 23, 2013 GLD - If you are over 25 years old, rent a car. Outside of the main city''s like NY, Chicargo.......etc, public transportation is not so good and often dangerous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,035 Posted May 23, 2013 Thanks Mr. Fruit, very helpful indeed, by your suggestion I''m assuming youre saying that there would be no return trains on the night? thanks also Texas canary, sadly, yes I''m over 25 by a few years now, but I''ve never driven on the "wrong" side of the road before and am not about to start now!, looking to make use of internal flights & public transport wherever possible.

Reykjavik Canary 0 Posted May 23, 2013 Noticed that Mexicoan football legend Cuauhtémoc Blanco places for Sinaloa. That''s quite something (but he''s 40).They''re currently a mid table team in the Mexican 2nd tier (no doubt a strong division though considering the quality of Mexican football).This season they lost in a playoff-final for promotion to the top tier.They''re definitely some players in the Mexican division we might be having a look at. Considering they''ve won a number of trophies in younger ages recently (Olympics, U-17) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
