Thanks for all the info Ralph. and chidrummer: I've rented a car with GPS and am preparing a list of things and sites I want to visit. Still searching for vinyl record stores in the area, hoping to pick up some missing items.

And here in the Netherlands gas is now € 2,80 which is about $ 3.70. and that's for a liter, which is only 0,264 gallons. So if I calculate correctly, a gallon would cost here $14!
