Donkeyman, I know you are enthusiastic but I want the lurkers here to get accurate info.

--Cheap hotel rooms can be had for much less than $300, depending on your definition of cheap (if you insist on a Sheraton then $300 may be right)

--Gas does not cost $5 per gallon or more as far as I know (our British lurkers can tell us if they are paying 3 pounds per gallon or more than 75 pence per liter - excuse me, litre)

--Brits have a long tradition of shopping on the "High Street", a longer version of old town squares in the US. Shopping malls and Wal-marts have not overrun traditional English shopping, though large discount stores are popular all over Europe

--It remains to be seen whether Brits will adapt to online shopping. In any case, the traditional retailers like Dixons which offer free ISP's already have a marketing and delivery structure built up.

That doesn't mean death for XSNI but it puts them behind the curve since they have to strike up E-commerce partnerships to get any E-commerce revenue at all.
