[Idyllchat] Increased Cost of European Travel

[Bill Kover]

Here's a little perspective for you:  Back in 1973 we were planning our very first trip to Europe.  People started telling us "Now's a bad time to go!  The dollar is down".  A British pound at that time cost $2.40.  We didn't listen to them.  Seeing London, Vienna, Rome, and Paris for the first time was a thrill of a lifetime!          

Things are relative.  Years from now you may be saying "I wish I had done my traveling in 2008!".  The Euro is close to $1.60 now.  Things will be tight while we're in Paris.  But I'm not upset.  This is a chance of a lifetime.  How can we pass up the opportunity to spend a month in Paris?  This is something you dream of.  If we have to picnic for all our meals, we'll do it.
