Thanks Lee for the info. You will have a great time in Europe. London is like any other really big town - some really nice places and a few you don't want to wonder off into. You can catch the main tourist sites in 2 days but doing any of the musiems takes a good deal of time.

In Greece you will run into a few things that are really different from stateside like the public bathroom are for everyone(not his and hers) and not free to use - last year they charged up to 1 euro per person to use the public bathrooms. Also, in public places you had to be a paying customer to use the bathroom. You'll get a kick out of the cars and motorscooters - really a lot of both in Europe - not so much in the UK.

Food was really expensive too. We paid 97 Euros - about $150.00 for 2 large pizzas, one bottle of house wine, and 2 glasses of water at a place in Venice. It was like that all over Europe.

Check with your bank about the exchange rate on your credit card - that is not always the best way to go. One other thing, keep an eye on your wallet. I had my pocket picked last year - had the darn thing in my front pocket too. They are the best in the world at it.

You will feel more comfortable in the UK - same language -well sort of -and many similiar customs. The Brits are rather upfront about manners and being polite - something all of us have seemed to let die. We never make a trip without learning things and coming home with the high hopes of being able to return. It is very addictive.

One other thing - check with your insurance company - see if your auto insurance is good there. Some are, some aren't. We always us a credit card for our rental cars with very small limits on them - was once really screwed by a car rental company - learned the hard way. And remember -a lot of the countries have a complete zero tolorance with visitors - behave yourself.

Thanks again for the flight info. I am going to check into it today and will probably book our flights.
