[Idyllchat] Italy '08

[MICHAEL CONCORDIA]

Does anyone have any ideas how to get around the inflated Euro, or the 
deflated dollar, however you prefer to look at it.
I don't think I'm doing Italy next year ,or in the near future ,because of 
the basically 30%+ "tax".
Our family has been going for the past 8 years but this last trip ,in '07, 
was an eye opener.
I guess we are heading back to the pre 1950's when only the wealthy traveled 
overseas.
What a shame. The sad thing is that the working Italians are reaping no 
benefits from the pricy Euro.
