some people worry about kidnappings or murders abroad... Americans are not very popular these days with some nations, i guess some folks might be afraid they will be singled out and targeted?

i dont know - just adding it to the mix
Yes, this adds to the mix and we also must add in what a pain in the arse airports have become. Short of having a body cavity search ( some get them ) boarding planes and security just make life very difficult. So much so that my folks do not travel anymore. The have been in every country that Europe has to offer. They cancelled a cruise this year because of the airports. They just do not feel like dealing with them.
