Can You Do London on $40/day for food?
My wife, Yoly and I, keep reading that Europe is too expensive for Americans to travel to. This intrigued us because we like a good challenge so when a business trip opportunity came up we decided to doit cheap.We like to watch a show in the US called "$40/day". Host Rachel Ray does cities with the goal of doing them well but economically. The first problem is how to find a cheap flight. We searched athttp://www.travelocity.com and the best we could find was $450/personbut an email from Northwest Airlines came and we ended up with a fareof $385. We opted for the health insurance which pays $10,000 for healthcare if you get sick while on the trip and $25,000 to evacuate you back to the states and thus we got the total package for$410/person. Our hotel in the South Kensington area, http://www.parkinternationalhotel.com/, is a steal at 40 pounds/night or about $80. It is perfectly located for the things we enjoy the most; museums, shows in the west end, small restaurants,etc.So we intend to take lots of pictures, keep all receipts, and see ifwe can help others find the hidden London.Dean and Yoly Hughson
