Money - Weather

Even though England has withdrawn from the Euro both Germany and Italy still use it as their form of currency.

On November 27th the Euro was a little strong then the dollar. One US dollar = 0.942301 Euro.  A US 10.00 bill gets you 9.42 Euros.

Our plan is to exchange US dollars to Euros once we arrive in Europe. 

Weather

While it may be early to peak at the weather - it will be December so I assume it will be cold. Looking at accuweather.com they are forecast our weather for Dec. 19th (arrival date) to be a high of 37 degrees with mix of snow, ice and rain. 

After a few days of cold weather we will fly to Rome where the weather will improve. During our stay in Rome the highs will be in the mid 50's. There will be a chance of rain several of the days.
