My wife and I would LOVE to finally make it to Europe for our anniversary in 2008. Anybody have any reccomendations for a reasonable destination price wise? We would need RT air from Houston, TX and hotel, rail pass or rental car etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ireland would be our top choice, but if there is something less expensive, we would certainly entertain that. Nothing is off the table for Russia to Spain. Thanks!

Answer
For October a good destination would either be Italy or Spain. Still warm, but not hot and not so expensive.

As a general rule for prices in Europe north (Scandinavia)and west is more expensive than south and east. The cheapest countries are Ukraine, Romania and Albania. But if you went there I think you would be quite dissappointed, as the reason these countries are cheap is bc the people are poor.

Now I don't know how much time you have, but if you got 3 weeks I suggest spending 2 weeks in Spain and one week in Morrocco. You would fly into Madrid and rent a car. You could tour southern Spain (Granada, Toledo, Gibraltar) before dropping the car off and heading by train and ferry over to Morocco. Morocco is much cheaper than Spain and seeing the country could make you appreciate and understand Spanish and thus Mexican heritage better. (Plus you can say you've been to Africa.)

Alternatively you could go Italy. Railpasses are a waste of money in Italy, you should just buy point-to-point tickets it works out cheaper. You would need about 2 weeks to see the highlights.

For a shorter trip of one week, I suggest visiting Portugal, Andalusia (southern Spain) or Hungary. Hungary would be the cheapest. For Hungary you could fly into London or Frankfurt and then catch a budget flight to Budapest. You could make it a combined Budapest-Bratislava-Vienna trip, using train and boat to travel along the Danube.

Airfare from Houston should be in the 800 USD range per person. October is not high season, so it should not be too difficult to get a decent fare. For your stay you need to budget around 200 EUR per day for both of you if you stay at hotels and pensions and eat out. You could also look into renting either a campervan or taking camping gear (tent, sleeping bags) along with you. Staying at campsites (or hostels) is significantly cheaper than staying at hotels, it could reduce the cost of your trip by half.

Rental cars should be booked in a package with the flight through a travel agent. Good travel agencies can get you special "fly + drive" packages with significantly reduced rental fees for the car.
