When we went to the UK in 2001, the exchange rate was still very favorable for us and at the time, the Euro was still being introduced in the other countries we visited.

Right now Europe is a very expensive place for Americans to visit and I have heard/read the UK is almost off limits to budget conscious travelers.

Oh well.

It was an excellent tour - we left with a much greater appreciation for our cars (we both have MCSs).</p> My wife and I were in London for a week and half last year and we made a side trip to Oxford for the tour (based in large part on reading this article the first time).

England is really expensive compared to the rest of Europe. I worked for an airline until three days ago and that was the <em>last</em> place people would want to go to even for a short weekend away.</p> Make sure you bring a lot of $$$$$$.
