Hi Renee. i went on a tour this past May. i did the Horzions tour and when i went the average temperture was about 70F. it was fairly cool in the mountains. Venice was a bit chilly at night but other than that a light weight jacket is all you really need. Travelers checks you need to exchange at any bank or thomas cook. you get them at a bank or travel agent. when you are ready to exchange them you must date and sign the second time in front of the person. and they are pretty much good for anything you can think of once you get the local currency. the good thing is that most of europe uses the Euro now and the only times i needed to exchange money was in London and Switzerland. well good luck with your planing and have fun on your trip if you decide to do one.
