To the OP: I think it’s obvious that traveling to Europe now is not financially smart. Have your honeymoon in the USA, or even Mexico or Costa Rica. You can always reconsider Europe for your 5- or 10-year anniversary. As we know, currency movements are cyclical.

I base a lot of things on what’s financially smart, but my honeymoon will not be one of them. We have the money, it’s our ONE honeymoon, and we want to see prague. I seriously doubt, that on my death-bed, I will say, “I should have waited 10 more years to see prague, when it was financially more smart.”
Thanks to kewp for the Merk Fund tip.

March 15, 2008 at 5:33 PM #170343Diego MamaniParticipantIfyousayso, I apologize if my well meaning suggestion offended you. I’ve been to Praha, it’s beautiful and I recommend visiting. I wished I had spent more time there in early 2006, when I visited.
It’s only that I think that the place will still be beautiful and worth a visit 5 or 10 years from now. If you want to pay a 30% premium to visit it now, then bon voyage and enjoy it! As long as you are fully aware of what you are doing and of the extra money that you’re paying, then it’s your decision to make.
It’s like housing. I could have bought in 2005: I had the money, and I could have got a competitive 30-yr fixed loan. And it wouldn’t have killed me to do so. I just don’t think it’s good a idea to pay a premium for something that I can get for a lot less money in a few more years. I know a trip costs less than housing, but as long as my goal is to be financially independent and retired by 40, I won’t pay more than necessary for chewing gum, trips, cars, or houses.
