Do come on over - the exchange rate makes it a financially excellent time to travel. We have plans to go the opposite way - but will get clobbered by the weak pound against the dollar. David Rogerss last blog post..Celebrate the Human Body

Dear Olivia -

What an honor to have you comment here! Would love to hear how you discovered my article.

I was using London as an example – but not a suggestion. Yours are definitely better.

Glad to hear you are missing us. We miss you too.

We will be back.

So, better not go to London, if you are wililng to save money, rather go in another but cheaper city: Berlin, Prag, Athens, Roma,..
It is true that there are less european tourists at the moment. I miss you people with your white snickers, your cameras. More funny, is when you try to act like a local: eat like them, speak in the language but the accent is just too much. When you come to visit, we also discover things,,,

Come back!!!! Olivia, Chief of ETIA

OK Keith -

Since you live in Hawaii, we will allow you a few more days for travel.

Yes, doing your own research does make you a traveler and not just a tourist.

Being a tourist is much more expensive. But easy. You just pick a tour and let them do all the work.

With the economy the way it is, I was suggesting another way to do it so it could be more affordable.

You sound like a person who has always been a traveler!

Dear Dentist Melbourne -

Some good advice here! Thanks!

If you prefer not carry cash around you can get yourself a debit card which works the same as a credit card, however, it is direct cash purchases. You are not charge often times to use these and you are using cash to make your purchases.

Aloha Corrine!

Thanks for another great article! I think you are presenting the difference between being a traveller versus a tourist. It’s one thing to see a place, but it’s another thing to experience a place.

Pick a city and spend a week? It usually takes me a week just to get to where I am going

Dear CK -

You made a great contribution to this article with your post on FEAR.

So, OK, breathe ….. breathe …. breathe.

But go back and read your own words.

What are you afraid of? You are going to London. If not on schedule, it is still in the works –

But, you are going.

Call me and I will help find a cheap, warm, cozy hotel for you where -

Dear Sandi -

Glad you are going. Time is marching on and we cannot have the bad news ruin our entire life.

You probably will find some good deals in a rental or in small hotels, even in the summer.

Shop around on line also and don’t be afraid to make an offer rather than just pay the price they are asking. You might be surprised they will take it!
