Rick, you are a world citizen and a credit to human beings (and being human). Yes, we have several of your books. Yes, we always check out what you have to say. And yes, we appreciate your attitude toward practical travel, practical travel safety, and appreciation of the world's communities. Thanks for all you have done to help us get to know our "neighbors" across the planet.

Thanks for the best series, on European travel, anywhere. I've been watching since I was a kid.

The money belt is best. Don't carry anything in a pack or purse that u can't afford to lose.

You made the right decision about Greece. Never rush Greece. Greece has extremly diverse landscape, culture and history. From the Pelloponese, to Athens, Northen Greece, the Aegean, Ionian islands and Crete. It takes a good 8 days at least to enjoy Greece in my opinion. Also don't try taking trains to and from Greece. Greece itself has high speed train connections betwen cities, but the Balcans don't. Hint; Airtravel is not taxed in Greece, so its the cheapest in Europe. Go for it! Also try to visit the broader region too! Turkey is a nice place to go after Greece, Romania and Bulgaria are pretty awesome too! Don't forget Cyprus ;)

Because someone told about the risk regarding public wifi, I think i have to mention that you can prepare regarding them with getting a VPN service.

Some tips from a European.
-when in italy, go to Luca instead of pisa
-remeber that europe use 230volts instead of the 110volts in the US.
-when in England, traffic comes from the left when you cross the street.
-tons of restaurants or bars in europe have free wifi, check for open routers to download or upload photo's without using your 4G data.
-remember that rules may be different between countries, weed might be legal in Holland but sure isn't in France or Italy

Skipping a queue is innately satisfying to do.
