I have a rough idea of the prices involved from one of the local travel agents, but I am curious about things not to be found in the bro- chures. 1 or 2 weeks on a trip of constantly changing scenery and some freedom to wander at will is very appealling, but I wonder what drawbacks there are? Does it get boring? Is it a real pain to have to drive the thing all the time? Any positive or negative comments would be most appreciated. -- Paul R. Bonneau {decvax|watmath|utzoo}!hcr!hcrvax!paulb
