    Hey Dave,

    One comment of yours stuck with me. "like double what they are in the states"

    What in the UK is NOT "like double" what they are in the states? LOL

    My daughter interned in London last summer as part of her university "experience". At her orientation she was told that they were there to learn and to experience and that they should consider (for this experience) that a GBP was a USD.

    When questioned by a student about exchange rates, since at least one other parent had given their child some idea of what to expect, the instructor said "your parents have decided that they can afford this or you would not be here, and they, no doubt, are worrying enough for the both of you."

    How true.

    Very true, especially in London. But most of Europe seems even more expensive than the UK now they have the Euro. When traveling in Europe expect to pay not much less than 5-6 euro for a 500ml beer.
    Mind i found New York alot more expensive than London on my last trip....
