Great stories! My wife & I are arriving Friday for some overdue R/R & our 11th Anniversary. While I used to travel in the old (Navy) days, she never has. We thought we would just go with no expectations, plans, or dinner reservations! But now after hearing how wonderful & caring the people are - it may be hard not to have expectations! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/circle.gif" alt="" /> We look forward to meeting who we will meet & enjoying what I am sure will be the 1st of many trips!

BTW, The whole currancy thing is a bit confusing! Sounds like cash $US is good, travelers cheques, too. The Euro conversion statetside feels a little steep... advice welcome!
