The only thing I left out was that I rented a Cell Phone from Auto Europe. They gave me 1 week free but I had other charges that I am sure they made there money up for.

Frank,

Depending on what type of phone you have, you may consider getting your phone unlocked so that you can use it abroad by purchasing local SIM cards so you have a local phone number and pay local rates. That way, you don't get hammered by big roaming charges. You also get to keep using your own phone. Here's a link explaining it more. http://www.thetravelinsider.info/2002/0315.htm

We've got our phone unlocked. I've got a SIM card for the US, Mexico and Argentina when we visited there. That way, our relatives just call us on the local number to where we are. Saves everyone a bit of money.
