Both the canals and the rivers. We will not spend a dime in France and Germany as long as their anti America leaders sell wmds for oil to Iraq/Iran.

We can take some great canal barges in the UK.

Oh, that's right! I had forgotten about the canal barges in the UK--and we had seen a presentation about them at a sailing conference about a decade ago. Now that's a trip I'd definitely take--and you're making me jealous. We usually take a winter vacation to someplace warm, and we've got plenty of time to make plans.
