Just a quick comment on the price of airplane tickets.

My friends from Britain arrive with empty suitcases and leave fully loaded up with cheap priced American goods. Their savings on the price of clothing more than makes their plane ticket free. They go home with Nike shoes for everyone and jackets and clothing for their kids.

One friend went home with 2 suitcases full of Christmas decorations that were not available for any price in Britain. One frined comes over once a year and buys car parts.

Brits will fly over to the US just for a weekend of shopping.

They also arrive eager for American pizza and American ice cream. The best in th world, and you can't buy it anywhere else but the United States.

Goldberg Global I disagree with you. US is becoming a hot market again. On a Place in the Sun's annual survey of visitors to their roadshow earlier this year, USA was the biggest climber in their top 20 chart, climbing ten places to 4th position.

The weak dollar plays a big part, and places like LA, and the globally famous places near landmarks and attractions people want to see and visit, people are taking this opportunity to buy their holiday homes when they are getting a lot of dollars to their pound.

Analysts are also predicting 2008 to be the turnaround year for the US market, and I think wise purchases could attract strong rental yields.
