FIREFLYR 0 #1 May 9, 2005 Hey , I am trying to get out to the heli boogie in Norway and then (or before) The terminal wall in Italy, and whatever I can get into...Ill probably check out Amsterdam, london France or wherever I can get to. I plan on spending about 3 weeks there. I have almost no Idea how to go about this.where should I fly into? will a train get me to all these places once I'm "over there"? I'm trying to figure this out kinda at the last minute but...here goes nuthin"!

TomAiello 25 #2 May 10, 2005 What's your priority? Max time jumping? Cheap? Getting to heli-boogie and Italian Terminal Wall on the same trip? Best jumping trip? If you've got the cash, you'll do more jumping by flying everywhere and then renting a car. But there are lots of other options. If you are flying direct to Stavanger, you'll almost certainly go through Amsterdam, so be sure to schedule a stopover there if you want to see the local sites.-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean621 0 #3 May 10, 2005 Fly into London first mate...there are plenty of jumpers here and we also have a secret weapon www.ryanair.com which should help you to get around...we have a few jumpers heading to the heli boogie too so it could be a good place to start... best of luck Seanhttp://www.extreme-on-demand.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Make sure your PIN is a 4-digit PIN. Yeah, I know most are, but some are 5 or 6, depending on your bank and most European ATMs will not accept anything over 4 digits. Also, move your money over to your checking account. Found myself stuck when I wanted to take some cash out of savings and only had the option for checking. Not sure if this is still true, but it was last time I was in Europe, two summers ago. -C. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Found myself stuck when I wanted to take some cash out of savings and only had the option for checking. I've had the same two problems. I even had the pin digit problem in Canada. Also, if you remember your PIN by letters (that's how I remember mine) be aware that Euro ATM's often have no letters on the keypad, or have the letters corresponding to different numbers.-- Tom Aiello [email protected] SnakeRiverBASE.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
