Freda replied to me with:

this in Italy- wonderful. Also in Austria staying in a Pension is
much cheaper. >>>

I think the big cost, other than say in places like London, is  
probably in getting over there.  However, we never have been folks  
for big tourist hotels.  I can stay in those in the US or Hawaii. So  
these other alternatives sound interesting. Can you provide some more  
details? We've also considered hostels, but we aren't young, college  
age folks any more.

What is a "Pension"?  In the US it is a retirement plan which most  
companies are trying to wiggle out of.

Thanks,
    Stefan
