Europe Trip INPUT PLEASE
Ok i am waiting for my passport to come back and it should be back sometiem soon..i HOPE...anyays some passports take weeks, others take months and i need mine by april if i still go. THe thing is, if i buy a plane ticket WITHOUT a passport and then for some reason i can't go to Europe, the ticket is NON-refundable..but if i buyt he ticket WITh a passport and i can't go, i can get my money back for the ticket. The thign is, Europe is going to be relaly expensive and when i come back i'll have like $0 in my bank. So i am torn between goign and not. And also the thing with Iraq and the states and whatever with all the war bullshit goign on. It seems stupid or risky or dangerous to travel, with the terrorist junk that was/is goign on. Anyways, point is i need to make a decision fairly fast..so i need opinions, suggestions, ideas and help..thanks so much...

dont take a vacation in europe- just take one at home and not do anything there for a few weeks... save a ton of money and be just as relaxed...

Dude...why don't you go somewhere like Hawaii or Cuba or some nice beach place

thats a tough call, I would go for it. Most tickets are non-refundable but I would buy it in enough time that you can get a good price. I know there are some sweet prices on flying to london right now (its off season there) so maybe if you flew into a country that has cheaper airfair and then took a train into the cities you wanted to check out, if you haven't been over seas you'll realize you use the train alot and you can cut across europe quickly and cheaply via the train.
I would think about it, its always worth an andventure but thats IMO. Whats money if you can't spend or enjoy it? Then again I'm not the best example, when it comes to money  so dont mind me. |

if you cant afford to goto europe you wont be able to afford to goto Hawaii. If however you do have enough money to goto hawaii drop me a PM and I will get you 100 yards from Wikiki (sp?) beach at the best rate on the island. I would go to europe if you have never been, its an eye opener. And though I really enjoyed Hawaii its basically a tropical version of north America. Which is great because you feel right at home, but hey try to expand your world view. |
