It's true that the American dollar was healthier then; and, natives were happier to see authentic travelers dropping by for a visit then they are now. Airlines, back when "getting there" was half the fun, were a lot friendlier, too. But those days are sadly gone forever, now. My advice is to stay home, tend your own garden. Travel can make you wiser (that is, can make some people wiser) but will almost always make everyone less happy. At the very least, travel closer to home. For Americans that would mean south of the border and Canada. Finally, I'd say, don't believe everything travel writers have to say. Remember they get paid for traveling and often lying about their experiences.

You might be interested to know about my Bicycle tour across Europe. I have lots of exciting stories to tell, but I will now tell you just one thing: My friend and I managed to travel through and visit 13 countries with just $350 with each. I have shared some of my experiences through my blogs. You may visit http://hubpages.com/hub/My-Bike-Tour-across-Europe---Some-Memories http://vaidyashok.com/vaiash/category/travel/ I shall drop in later and read more about your writings. Thanks.
