Life as usual

Back from our trip to Cyprus, overall a good trip but as usual after being in country, we would have done some things differently. First let me say, the Euro is killing any more trips for me to EU countries, the rental car and hotels were not too far out of line on cost BUT food was way over the top. We will normally eat at a chain restaurant (at least once) to compare cost, etc between countries. The hamburger that is $8 in US, is $11 in Doha, was $17 in Cyprus. Nothing was cheap on the Greek side, the Turkish side was a little more reasonable and less developed so we enjoyed that part of the trip, if we did it again, more time on the Turkish side and less in the Greek side. Looks like all future trips will have to be toward the East where the dollar $$$ still has some value. Hello Thailand or Bali.
