Lori:

I don't know -- he's got euros -- probably means he's heading this way.

I say this as a tkt agt at the MIA airport. For the past 5 months, I've checked in almost nothing but Europeans heading home after being in Florida/Caribbean for a month (remember, those poor people only get 6 weeks vacation a year). Many came over with NO luggage. Bought it here, filled it up, and didn't blink when I charged them an extra $100 for the overweight bags. "In dollars? No problem!")

Expect to see MANY very nice, very athletic, very wonderful Europeans if you are going to be hiking in the US this summer -- and face it, with the dollar where it is, that is where we'll be hiking at -- in addition to it being the most beautiful place on earth to hike if I might add.

I ask -- no, implore -- that we do all here to greet and treat our European hikers with nothing but kindness and camaraderie. That's what I ALWAYS received when I was hiking over there.
