The national parks are a great deal - as are the museums. Unlike Europe - most do not charge an admission fee.. or at most it's nominal. A good deal for 'over 62'ers' is a 'golden age passport'. For a 'one time' fee of $10, it grants lifetime admission to all national park facilities for free to citizens and legal residents - along with companions, friends, etc. Now you can't beat that in europe!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8173 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8172
I'd recommend: "How to retire on practically nothing" (Loompanics press) for guidance. A place that the author of that book recommends is the 'College Inn' in South Carolina. Its rooms go for $15 to 20 a night as i recall. There are plenty of bargains in the states. One has only to look for them. There are also cheap eating places in Vienna.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8172
