Didn't get Sick from
Water... We
drank tap water through out Europe and England and never got sick. And rue
Cler in Paris was our favorite neighborhood for home- basing. It had everything
and was well within our budget. Valarie Chinn—Kaimuki Budget

We saved a lot of money by carrying our own water bottle which we
refilled at our hotel, rather than buying beverages. I saw sodas costing
as much as $10. and candy bars for $5. from a vending machine in Chantili.

We are in
Cortona now and what a beautiful place
this is. We have truly arrived in Italian heaven. We could stop now and pass
on Rome but will continue on to do the tourist activities. Maybe one day
return to Cortona and drive around the country side. People are very nice,
we will have our first Tuscan meal tonight which we are
hoping will be fantastic. We have already tried several types of wines and
they were fantastic. We plan to have a few bottles along with some olive
oil sent back home. The bakery's and butcher shops here are incredible...talk
about fresh. I was originally born in Brooklyn, New York and the bakery's
have many of the items I'm familure with from the Jewish\Italian neighborhood
I grew up in.
That is all for now from paradise (Italian style). Aloha,
Keith of Honolulu, Hi 26 March 05

Memorable Week in Paris on a Budget. We didn't skip anything we
wanted to do from biking in Versailles to boating down the Sein--and and
we didn't go into debt. One of the first things we did was go to the Rue
Cler neighborhood near the Eiffel Tower. While there, we discovered what
a great street it was for food shopping. Each morning we ate breakfast
here, bought our picnic food for the day and even came back for dinner. DeAnna
bought the "best chicken" she had ever eaten in one of the delis there. Since
it was so tasty we went back the next day for more. Thats when we discovered
it was "rabbit". (I went for more—DeAnna couldn't!)

Ate "Gourmet" on
A BUDGET....Mele, Tell people grourmet eating in major cities
in Europe is cheaper than in Honolulu. We bought an array of gourmet foods
in a London grocery which would have cost us $100 in Honolulu—but only
cost $30 there. We ate like royalty for several days.
