My moms family is still located just outside Milano, so I would not want to spend over 800 USD to stay in a hotel. Frankly, most europeans are comming over here because of the favorable exchange rates. I like the idea of going to a local resort by car and spending less than half that rate to have a nice room with an ocean view and great food and services. Until the exchange rates change (or someone in my family dies), I plan to stay here and buy American.
