ATC, I believe you do hate Rick Steves.

For me, I get travel information from all sources, Rick Steves included. I'm the one who does the research and planning in this family. So I found a great use for Rick Steves in our last trip. I had the husband and child sit down and watch Rick Steve's DVD on the country we were about to travel to. It was great! I don't need to read from the travel book to them anymore.
