  starting May 31st.

  gonna be in Paris and Rouen, FR, then Dubrovnik, Croatia and a day in Bosnia. My buddy is getting married in Croatia... hence the trip

  Anything I should definitely try to check out?
  I haven't started planning or packing yet. What will I need? Haven't been over to Europe since 2002. When the dollar was doing a lot better......

  Croatia is beautiful and RIDICULOUSLY cheap! I had a layover in Dubrovnik last year. A swanky multiple course dinner for me and my lady at an upscale place was like €40. LOL! I can't even think of a cheaper place in Europe beside Bulgaria, but who the hell wants to go there.

  • i can have a nice swanky diner for two here in NYC for that much money.– pr2

  Croatia is not ridiculously cheap!!!!

  the prices exploded this year, of course it always depends where you are going... if you go camping or in a 1 star hotel... yes sure its cheap. Dubrovnik is after Cannes, Monaco , St. Tropez & Sardinia the most expensive place for summer holidays.

  sure you can get your fcking cevapcici for cheap money in a shitty restaurant where they put the rests from the meat in.

  so it depends o the places, there are clubs & restaurants where you don´t get a vodka under 50 € or a bottle of champaign under 2.000€ ...

  and I am croatian ... and live in germany, so I would say that I know what expensive is.

  3 years ago a Vodla Red Bull at a GOOD Bar costs 3 €, now 16€ ..

  no cheaper places besides Bulgaria? I am laughing

  what's the best idea as far as the money situation goes (ie. where do i go for the best exchange rate? i'm flying in to Roissy-Charles De Gaulle in Paris. should i withdraw / exchange at the airport? Do I just bring a shit ton of cash on the plane???

  any thoughts would be much appreciated. i think wells fargo rapes people for withdrawals overseas....

  ATM/Bank. You tend to get the best exhange rate.

  exhange = exchange.

  O! Also Credit Card. I know it sucks to say that, but you get some protection with the bigger cards.

  check to see if your bank / CC company will sock you with a foreign exchange penalty before you go.

  • pretty sure it will... but what do i do about it??– wordsinyourmouth
