Europe can be surprisingly inexpensive, if you want it to be.
There are no substitutes. : )

This. The USD is doing pretty well against the Euro now, a lot better than when I was there this past August and September. Austria is the best bang for the buck in the Alps right now. Gas is way cheaper there than in Germany, Switzerland or Italy. Beer is just as good as in Germany. Austria is soooo much less crowded and far cleaner than Germany. I was just in Innsbruck and it was very reasonable. You could fly to Munich and be in either Innsbruck or Salzburg in under 90 min. from the airport. Lots of killer ski areas in between too and even some Porsche stuff to see. I would live there in a heartbeat if I didn't have to earn money here and Mrs. Lee spoke German.
