SOLVED! A little CSS help needed - IE fix?

I am needing an extra set of eyes to help me make my css work in IE... The website looks good in FF, NS, Opera, and Safari. XHTML & CSS checks out as valid.

Here's the website:
http://travelingsling.com/index.php

Problem #1: the bottom of the left content column is not aligning correctly in IE.

Problem #2: Maybe I am just missing it, but why in IE is it indenting my image that says: "Next sling stop"?

Probably all easy fixes that my tired eyes are missing. Any help is greatly appreciated!! :)

Here's my CSS:

#1.) You absolutely-positioned the div, but didn't provide any offset. Adding a left: 0 will fix this in IE.

#2.) Since you put a firm width in it, and text-aligned right, IE is actually making the box grow from right to left (at least that's what it looks like). Taking away the width, or setting width to auto will fix this in IE.

Awesome!! The website looks perfect now in all browsers! I can't tell you how much I appreciate your time and help!

Thank you!! :D
