[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's why so many Americans are travelling outside of the US. You get much cheaper hotels in Europe for a much better value. and it's not like airline tickets to travel within the US are much cheaper than the ones from US to Europe.[/quote]

LOL but they typically don't have air conditioning.[/quote]

That's why you go to Northern Europe in the summer or travel off season. You don't need air conditioning in most European cities outside of June-August. Yes, even with global warming. It's gotten to the point where much of Europe is susceptible to heat waves in the summer and that can be miserable in a city like Paris or Rome that lacks the infrastructure for it, but if you instead do Copenhagen or Helsinki, you'll be fine. And if you go November-March, you can go anywhere in Europe and not worry about AC.

I'd personally also be okay traveling to southern Europe in July and just figuring it out, but I'm a reasonably adventurous traveler. Americans are nuts about climate control though. Especially in the Southern US. It is wild to me that people will choose to live in Houston or Tampa or Atlanta but then freak out about air conditioning. If the heat bugs you so much, move to Vermont! It's such a weird flex to insist on living in a warm weather place but then also insist that you spend 95% of your time in 70 degree comfort.[/quote]
