Cruising vs Europe vacation

[Fogfog]

Thanks for the sites

 

as for the lack of snow

Our friends in Italy say its warmer --and snows less--in recent years...

 

One interesting tidbit-=it there are like 80 new species of fish (tropical ones) that now reside in the Med

 

I wonder if the ship traffic --and ballast water etc...in and out makes a difference..

 

I know they have to dump ballast water etc

but between traffic through the Suez and also trans atl--

 

not a far stretch to imagine things travel with ships...just consdier the insect issues alone...yikes :eek:

 

When I was growing up--the scientists in the know said it was a given that we'd die of a new ice age..and that the environment was cooling.

 

Seems like a cycle to me:rolleyes:

It's been a long time since I have enjoyed a thread as much as this one. I have to admit that I hadn't even considered flying to Europe to ski. I had thought that the cost would be prohibitive. Perhaps not.........

 

I have thought about flying into somewhere like Portillo (Chile) to ski in July. This would be the off season for travel there, and hopefully the dollar would go further than in Europe.

 

DH and I spent 6 months travelling in SA about 25 years ago, and it was incredibly cheap, but I'm sure things have changed since then.

 

Has anyone skiied there? Details please!!
