Travel-europe-on-a-budget
By Sandra Stammberger
What would you say if you were told that you could go to Europe on an affordable package? Would you be skeptical? Would you be amused? Or would you be plainly dumbfounded in disbelief?

European has always been the most expensive. Most middle class wage earners would need to tighten their belts for several years, scrimping & saving just so they can afford their dream European vacation. Europe represents one of the many fantasies of most people because of its quiet elegance, its romantic sceneries & panoramic views. European countryside is magical & has been the inspiration of many poems & the venue o many love stories. Europe is a great destination for newlyweds on their honeymoons, retirees wanting to get a taste of the good life & just about everybody else looking for a good time. But, Europe is also synonymous with expensive food, expensive hotels, expensive clothes & just about everything else is more expensive in Europe!

Cheap Europe gives you an option that would otherwise be unaffordable to many people. Cheap Europe takes away the “expensive” in Europe! Cheap Europe lets you achieve that fantasy you’ve been cuddling for so long.

If you are planning a romantic getaway, Europe is the ultimate destination! Just think of romantic France & be inspired by French lovers strolling hand-in-hand, kissing & hugging in the streets. Imagine yourself in Venice, having a smooth gondola ride with you husband or wife. Imagine yourself surrounded by the rich history of Ireland & Austria. Get a taste of authentic German beer or Russian vodka & caviar or take a bite of a scrumptious Swiss or Belgian chocolate. Aaaaaaaah, the taste of travel!

Europe offers a wild cornucopia of anything & everything enjoyable. From the vas collection of the world’s greatest art pieces in Italy, to the holy & somber Vatican,

Hollywood finds romance in travel
On a train 'North by Northwest' and others, on a bus in 'It Happened One Night,' in Italy in 'Roman Holiday,' in Bali in 'Eat, Pray, Love' &#8212; love is all around.<br/><br/>Love is always lovelier some place other than home.

12 places to visit in 2012
From historical celebrations to Oregon wines to a diamond jubilee in Britain to Warhol in Arkansas, here are a dozen places to explore and enjoy.<br/><br/>New Mexico: This year, New Mexicans mark 100 years of statehood. But much of the state's appeal stems from its human history that goes back much further. (In 2010, Santa Fe celebrated 400 years of cityhood.) Explore here: the adobe architecture and art galleries of Santa Fe; the vintage signage along old Route 66; the lingering hippie vibe of Truth or Consequences. Don't forget the Lightning Field, an art installation outside Quemado where (for $150 to $250 a person) you spend a summer night in a wood cabin and wait to see if lightning will strike one of the 400 tall steel poles outside your door. Even if there's no strike, the sky puts on shows at sunset and sunrise that will leave you in awe. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/TKG1ZPX1ejRk_XExaQDmltHXSp4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/TKG1ZPX1ejRk_XExaQDmltHXSp4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/TKG1ZPX1ejRk_XExaQDmltHXSp4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/TKG1ZPX1ejRk_XExaQDmltHXSp4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/travel/~4/Ld3egPKkyIs" height="1" width="1"/>

Cruises: Drinking in the ambience aboard Rotterdam VI
With a more traditional vibe than other liners, Holland America's Rotterdam makes for smooth sailing.<br/><br/>Rarely has a city been as in love with a shipping company as Rotterdam, Netherlands, is with the Holland America line. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/bGas_cXaz9pDKNUSRtW8MZzw4S4/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/bGas_cXaz9pDKNUSRtW8MZzw4S4/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/bGas_cXaz9pDKNUSRtW8MZzw4S4/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/bGas_cXaz9pDKNUSRtW8MZzw4S4/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/travel/~4/Ezj4hiGYTLg" height="1" width="1"/>
Smaller legs of world cruises can be a deal
If you can't take a full world cruise, a smaller segment can still be filled with adventure and cost a lot less. These days only a fraction of passengers are there for the long haul.<br/><br/>The British couple &mdash; she in a long black dress, he in a traditional tux &mdash; leaned against the elevator's polished wood paneling as they headed back to their cabin after an evening performance in the main showroom. Embarrassed at my casual clothes and running shoes, I stammered, "We decided not to dress up and went to the buffet instead of the main dining room." <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/X1k0k_hIfPn4GNBHpSdaH_i6ha0/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/X1k0k_hIfPn4GNBHpSdaH_i6ha0/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/X1k0k_hIfPn4GNBHpSdaH_i6ha0/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/X1k0k_hIfPn4GNBHpSdaH_i6ha0/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/travel/~4/nY3Uw5U5-0w" height="1" width="1"/>
A big question mark hovers over the cruise industry
Cruise lines were ready for a busy year, with continued deals, expanded river jaunts and hot new locales. How the Costa Concordia disaster affects the industry is still unknown.<br/><br/>The first quarter of 2012 was supposed to be a sweet spot for passenger cruise lines. Wave season, as it's known, marks a time when cruise companies and travel agents roll out deep discounts on cruise vacations and rack up lots of sales. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/K0Y4lRVLGmleAcdqu8k1kMFbCNU/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/K0Y4lRVLGmleAcdqu8k1kMFbCNU/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/K0Y4lRVLGmleAcdqu8k1kMFbCNU/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/K0Y4lRVLGmleAcdqu8k1kMFbCNU/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/travel/~4/SexwFChhTho" height="1" width="1"/>

Racing aboard the Great Lakes schooner Denis Sullivan
Participants do the jobs that 19th century sailors did as this replica navigates Lake Superior's unpredictable waters.<br/><br/>At dawn on the dock, a few sailors kiss spouses and dogs goodbye. Then we muster on the quarterdeck: 17 crew (nine volunteers and eight professional sailors) ranging from a 19-year-old South Carolina college student to a 76-year-old Michigan farmer. <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/dP3lva-3mxxIPJqB94aLkfYFImA/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/dP3lva-3mxxIPJqB94aLkfYFImA/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/dP3lva-3mxxIPJqB94aLkfYFImA/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~at/dP3lva-3mxxIPJqB94aLkfYFImA/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/travel/~4/fMeFMN0dIdY" height="1" width="1"/>
