Gosh. How do folks bring just 1 piece of luggage and a small backpack when on a 13-15 day trip?
Won't you want to buy goods (snack foods, candy, some souvenirs, books sold at museums etc) from each place/country visited to bring home? Not to mention to keep camera and equipment?
I arrive in a place with 2 pieces of luggage almost half empty and, leave with both full. Visit supermarkets/mini-grocers/markets and you are bound to find tasty or 'mysterious' foods that you would want to slowly taste (or eat some more) when back home.
Yes. I'd rather lug around 2 fairly heavy bags filled with goodies, than not buying stuff and regretting it after the trip. :)

Paris! my grimmest memory of Paris was fleeing out the back door of the Georges Cinq during the Algerian Riots. Also, I have no faith in the kids who seem to be the head wrangler for the befuddled, the foolish and the cheap at heart. I'm sure these are perfectly lovely tours for a certain type of person; I am not of that type. I still fly first class and use a hired limo wherever I'm stopping. What I regret about these is that these travelers really see only what they're meant to see. Very structured, very low brow, very, very cheap.

Just finished a Rick Steves tour of Ireland. It was outstanding! Stephen McPhilemy was our guide, and he is brilliant in that role. Smart, funny, cool, and exceptionally-knowledgeable. Having toured Europe and Asia on my own, I was somewhat skeptical about joining a tour, but I'll definitely try additional Rick Steves tours in the future!

Wow, that green pizzeria behind him in the very beginning of the video. looks very much like the one I walked by when I was there. A group of Poles started singing Sto lat (happy birthday) as our group was walking by. I was able to sing along since I've studied some Polish. My friends were pretty surprised.

Must be nice to have 5 grand to spend on a guided tour. I mean, I would do it if I had it, dont get me wrong, but for now, until I'm older, I'll stick with solo/budget traveling. Can still have just a good time, but I love Rick Steve's content. I wish there were more on Youtube
