[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Be aware that the Nordic countries are VERY expensive. We just returned from Iceland. Eye popping prices. [b]It's the 8th most expensive country on the planet. [/b]Iceland is not on the Euro, it uses the Icelandic Krona. Pretty well set up for tourists who speak English, though. Every sign is in Icelandic. If you go, book a Classic Golden Circle tour. Worth every penny.

Ireland is fun. Common language, well set up for tourists. Cheap to get there, but more expensive because it's an island. But so much to see, and they are used to Americans. I would suggest this as a first choice.

Our teens loved Barcelona and Split, Croatia. Croatia has fantastic beaches.

Portugal is very nice, too. California weather with palm trees. World-class beaches. Affordable. You can get a glass of red wine for $2. I'd say 50/50 on people speaking English vs no English (Portuguese only), but you can get by. The people are sweet.

And in several such surveys where Iceland is 8th the US is classified as the 9th most expensive, so travel between the two shouldn’t be a huge shock [/quote]
