Thanks for the comment.

I'd add Switzerland to the list of countries that should "get with the program."

As a resident of Europe, I can't begin to tell you what a blessing the euro has been to travelers since it was introduced. Now if only the UK and Denmark would get with the program!

Very thorough and useful review. Thanks.

I take as little money as possible. You get the best exchange with a credit card. I think most of us have a tendency to take too much foreign money.
Most European hotels and businesses will not accept Discover so leave that puppy at home.
Most informative.
