Q. Is a summer European vacation affordable this year when the dollar's value against the euro is low?
A. This certainly isn't the dollar's finest hour in Europe. The U.S. currency's value is down roughly 8 percent against the euro since last May, despite strengthening since January.
That doesn't mean searching for another destination. Experts say there are several ways to cut costs and still enjoy your trip.
Do you really have to travel in the summer? That's when hotel rates and air fares are at their peak and visitors crowd star attractions. May or September offer warm weather, lower rates and fewer tourists.
