Shelly's Vacation Board

[Wildbilly]

I've heard from two friends

that Rick Steve's guides were a must for first time travelers to the continent.

My youngest niece toured Europe for four months a few years back and the only trouble she had was in Rome. A guy grabbed her purse when she and her friends came out of an alley restaurant late. She wouldn't let go and the guy drug her 20 feet before the strap broke, you'd have to know her to realize just how funny that story was.

The rudest country they visited was France by far, based on nothing other than they appeared to be obvious travelers.

Glad you guys had a great time, well earned!
