Those are nice pics Randy. I've taken the same photos. I really enjoyed visiting Prague.

"You may not use it the first day unless you're adventurous to get from the airport to your hotel."

I've been to Prague 3 times, and 2 times via the airport. Getting to the subway from the airport is a quick and cheap bus ride. I never needed a cab in Prague.

Each time I visited, I arrived without a hotel reservation. I got places from the train station and the kiosks at the airport. Good deals. Be careful and make sure that if you are told that a place is right in the center of old town (or close by) that it really is. I kind of got mildly screwed on a place that was a fairly long streetcar ride out of the city center.

Man, I need to got back there again!
