If there are such people called Victorians what are the people who live in 2010 called?
At the time, I don't believe an equivalent term has been coined. Historians will likely assign a term when we're dead and gone and our story told. Time will tell what we'll be remembered as :)
The Victorians are so called because they lived in the time of Queen Victoria. It is all to do with the name of the monarch who is alive at the time. Hence we are currently Elizabethans strange as it may sound.

Make that from 15th Sept. if you really don't want to have to put up with too many kids onboard ,as over here in Spain they don't go back to school after their summer holidays until then.

The most expensive months are: June, July August, the rest of the year sort of in between.
Since the Med isn't in an area that's huge for hurricanes and other natural disasters - seasonally is the best way to plan your trip. For the best weather and fewest children running around, try early fall. A cruise in early September is just about perfect! Alternatively, look into late spring (after Spring Break) for some great deals! An itinerary from Italy to Rome through the Greek Isles is absolutely a unique cruising experience!

Why is the dollar called a dollar?
The word "dollar" has a long history dating back to central Europe in the 15th century.
Some of the first large-size silver coins were minted from metal mined in what is now the southeastern part of Germany. Most of the silver veins were found in valleys. The word for valley in old-style German was "Thal", pronounced roughly "tohl". The coins soon became known as Thalers ("tohllers") meaning "from the valley".
Thalers proved to be so popular that similar coins were eventually used all over Europe as a common exchange medium. Each region adapted the name to its local language and spelling; by the time the coins were used in the Netherlands they had become "dalers", still pronounced with a short 'a'. But to those of us accustomed to English spelling that looked too much like it should be pronounced "dayler" so the spelling gradually morphed to something closer to its pronunciation, giving the familiar word DOLLAR.
Why dollars in the US?
When the US adopted its decimal currency a Spanish version of the Thaler called a "real" (ray-AL) was already circulating due to the proximity of Spanish colonies. The Mint decided that the primary American silver coin would be compatible in size and weight with the Spanish coin. Reales were already called dollars in common use so the new American coins were given the same name, but this time it was official.
