Can somebody give an idea about Who is the best vacation planner for a specific vacation to Europe? Hi, My name is Alex. My wife and I just went on our first cruise for either of us and we had a great time. Now we want to plan a more in depth and serious vacation and cruise to Europe, do the whole England, France, Spain, ect. I need to find an agency that can set up plans for tours, flights, tour guides, hotels and the cruise. I know that cruise lines can do that type of thing for you, but I want to find someone that will shop all the cruises plus set up a stint in England for a few days before the cruise actually starts. Is there any advice that someone can give me about the whole Travel Agent thing and the best way to get the most of our vacation? thank you for taking the time to help me with this.

I am considering a two week vacation to Europe what would be the best place to visit? My thought is Germany and that area but I know nothing about it, I also considered Italy but heard lately it was very dangerous...I know nothing about either, any advice would be greatly appreciated especially from natives from Europe. It would be mainly sightseeing, nothing too 'wild' if you know what I mean. What would the minimal amount of time to see most of Europe? Its good to know about Italy, not sure where I heard that recently but it came as as surprise to me too. I can't choose as all of you made all of them sound so wonderful...guess I'll have to extend those two weeks and put a few more on my ever growing list....thank you all so much for your suggestions.
How much does it cost to go to Europe for a vacation? I live in Texas and I am graduating from UTEP in May. My best friend and I both want to take a trip to Europe for a few weeks At the start of summer. We want to spend a day or two in every major city we can. We are both 24 and we pretty much have no limits as to what we would go do or see. How much would it cost? Like for plane, food, lodging, drugs, women, booze...? What about transportation (rental cars, buses, trains, boats...)
Exchange money before or after flight to Europe? I'm flying from the US to Europe on vacation in a few weeks, and I'm wondering whether it makes better financial sense for me to exchange my money to Euros before I leave or once I get there. Additionally, if it's better to exchange to Euros in the US, should I do it where I live (in DC) or in the airport I'm leaving from (Atlanta)? Thanks!
do you need a visa to visit Europe if you only have a green card? My girlfriend and I want to go on vacation to Europe, but she does not have a US passport or a passport of any of the EU countries.

I know a few people who are going on vacation to Europe.? I know a few people who are going on vacation to Europe and they wanted me to roll with them but I really can't afford a round trip airline ticket. Would it be easier to establish quarters inside a wooden crate (food/water/ipod) for a week or however long it takes to get there? Once I arrive, my friends can open me up and we could be on our way. I really don't know how much a 200lb crate would be to ship to Europe, but would it probably be cheaper than an airline ticket? Thanks
Amsterdam, Netherlands, and Europe vacation? I am planning a vacation next year to Europe when the airfare goes down in price with some friends (ages 18-30). My friends insist on going to Amsterdam or somewhere else in the Netherlands as part of the Europe vacation. I like musuems, parks, restaurants, and site seeing (need to see some castles). I was also hoping to see a place where they speak Frisian. My friends are more interested in the bars (taverns) that are infamous in the Netherlands. All of us want to interact with the locals and not be tourists. Where are some of the best places to stay to do this?

Would you rent a vacation home in Europe? Why? Why not? Would you rent a vacation home in Europe? They seem much less expensive than hotels, and nicer, with more space and privacy, and you can cook. None of my friends have even done it before though. Would you or have you? And why would or wouldn't you rent one?
Why do most Americans only want to travel to Europe? Frankly, I'm kinds of disppointed that most people I know, when they travel out of the states, are only willing to travel to Europe (or Cancun). I'm an American, but it's frustrating that almost everyone I know that travels only goes to Europe for vacation if they leave the country at all. It's like everyone in the USA thinks the only worthwhile place outside of the US is Europe...as if other cultures around the world are inferior or "too foreign" or populated with "people that don't look like me, so I don't care about them." Seriously, why do so many Americans have such limited desires when it comes to travel? Sometimes I think it's a subtle form of racism...most Americans are White and they only want to be around other White people, so Europe is the only place that interests them. I know not all trevellers are this way, but many are. One of my professors even told me he only goes places where he can read the street signs (i.e. only Europe), and he was proud of this fact? Sad?
Should I bring my laptop to Europe? I'm going to Europe for vacation [UK, France, Germany etc] I don't know if I should bring it. Does it cost money for internet connection? Any other issues I should know about? It's a HP and it's wireless
Why do people in Europe call vacation going on holiday? Those are two different things! Vacation is when you earn time off from work, you take the time off and you maybe take a trip somewhere with your family or friends. Holiday is something like Christmas or New Years, a certain day out of the year where pretty much everyone takes off the same day to celebrate the holiday. I always hear Europeans on here talking about what i would call a vacation, only they call it Holiday. Such as the case with the Mccanns for example, they say their daughter was kidnapped while they were on Holiday in Portugal.
