so, i've been talking for a few years now about going to europe. and now since time actually is running out (dave is 25, so next year we won't be able to get the student discounts anymore), i've decided we're going this summer (dave said ok). so i'm trying to decide what kind of eurail pass to get, how many countries to go to, etc. and since i have ( Read more... )

definitely get a eurail. it should cover everywhere except some places in the UK and the Czech Republic. To be honest, I'm not 100% certain what the differences are, because the school bought them for us, but they are unbelievably worth it, and you'll want one for as close to the duration of your stay as you can swing ( ... )

Nothing to do with the post at all, but what email address does Dave check?

Also, Sly was saying something that he saw Dave on campus the other day, but I think he was mistaken or just screwing with me.

he checks dcotte1@uga.edu and dcotte1@physast.uga.edu. dave and i did come up to campus while we were in town last weekend, but we only got to see a few people.we'll be back in town for thanksgiving and xmas, tho. dave says to email him :).

I agree with Caitlin, don't try to do too much. You will get tired with all the traveling and end up not enjoying anything. Plan for 4 days per city (think of it as 2 half days for traveling and 2 full days in the city). Also, dont expect to be able to see everything in every city, some cities like Paris and London are so big, you will feel overwhelmed if you try to do it all. Spend some time reading different guide books and pick out a few things that sound interesting. And dont be afraid to just scrap your plan for the day and wing it.

Also, as beautiful as Spain is, I don't recommend visiting in the summer (like July or August, May or June is probably fine). It gets super hot and most places (especially hostels) do not have air conditioning.

If you have more questions, ask away! I'd love to help you plan your trip :)
