OVERSEAS SPENDING - EURO VERSUS DOLLAR

Okay, so you want to go to Europe – been dreaming about it all of your life and this is your big chance. Then, the bottom drops out of the dollar and the conversion of Dollar to Euro is scaring you into thinking about putting your dreams on hold. But… you really want to go to see Paris, the City of lights or Rome, the Eternal City or eat Paella and stroll Las Ramblas in Barcelona or ride a gondola in Venice or have a romantic dinner in Sorrento. What to do?

We have good news for you – this is still a great time to take your dream vacation to Europe but... Listen up y’all – you need to do it on a cruise. Why a cruise?? A Cruise because you will pay for your dream vacation in dollars, not Euros. Everything that you do on board will be paid in dollars and even your shore excursions and pre or post accommodations will not have to depend on rate changes after you make your reservations – you are still dealing in US Dollars, just as though we were at home.

You will have some expenses in a foreign currency if you want to shop in the various ports but these are all controllable expenses and can be kept to a minimum if you so choose.

There is still availability for 2008 and some lines have already made their itineraries known for 2009 and 2010. So, What are you waiting for?
