are you putting off travel to europe?

Hi,

with the euro/dollar exchange rate being what it is... and fuel
surcharges just adding to the misery... are you putting off travel to
europe? or going anyway but minding the budget more (i.e. ** hotels
instead of ****, public transport vs a rented car)

No, the euro/dollar exchange rate has no effect on me.

Not just no, but hell no.

I've always paid attention to getting value for money, and the
next time will be no different. It's not difficult to get good
rates on lodging, even in expensive cities like London. I'll
be spending three weeks in Europe soon, and have no qualms about
where I'm staying or how I'm getting around, and that includes a
mix of public transport and rented cars.

and what about it

I will be at Schiphol tomorrow morning for all of 90 minutes, en-route to a
Country (Switzerland) which doesn't use the Euro and where the train system
is infinitely preferable to using a car.

If you stay in Paris you're better off with no car. If you go out side
Paris to somewhere interesting like Normandy, a car gives you freedom of
movement and is cheaper than public transport if there are at least two
in your party.

That, as always, will depend on where you're going, how far etc. Public
transport can be very cheap.
