next year 2009. i am planning to go on a tour for sure. i keep saying i will go, i will go, i will go and i am still here so those of you who feel the same you can join me in europe for july or august.

Yes, but make sure you time your cycle this go-round.

that sounds nice,,only if i had the money to go, but party for me

Can show you some great places in London!

i wanna go

Been there.. Any ideas of where you're going?

There may not be any airlines left by 2009.

Better get tickets and GO NOW!

i would like to do atleast 8 countries in europe so i am going to look at a tour that offers that kind. for sure the major cities like london, rome, paris, amsterdam, vienna etc.

Been to all of those...good choices, but try some of the more obscure ones too...Iceland is a place to behold and a lot of the Baltic States are fabulous

You HAVE to hit Munchen, aka Munich.. Berlin was fun, so were London, Madrid, Lisbon and Sicily. I didn't get around at all when I was there...

i'm gonna let sunneedaze take me over

I would love to go, if I'm not gone already.

I have no idea where I'll be next summer, but I can definately recommend Venice to everyone who wants to tour europe. I just spent five days being stunned and amazed of it's beauty and uniqueness.

I do hope you have a bottomless wallet!
Those are some of the most expensive places in the world!!!!
Especially in the current financial climate!

I would leave London until last. (just to see how much cash you have left)
You can get a rail pass that will cover the majority of Europe (except the UK) that is a very efficient way to see the countryside, the cities and some of the delightful cultures.

If I had to pick 8 cities to visit in Europe (and only 8)
1) Amsterdam
2) Hamburg
3) Bern
4) Edinburgh
5) Barcelona
6) Venice
7) Carcassonne
8) Dublin

I have been to all of these and explored the back streets of most of them. The culture, architecture and people are all worth the effort

i'll go if its london!

Just make sure you see London, Venice and Barcelona , theyºre great

my mind is set on monteral i think monteral the best and closet city to the north six in a half hours from rhode island anyone wanna join me

also i want a travel partner to go to taipei taiwan or santa domingo domincan republic im 25 year old white m warwick rhode island

Good for you! Hope you have a great time....that is a lot to cover in one trip however. If you've never been, you might be disappointed, especially on a tour as you are herded like cattle in and out and never get to REALLY experience it. A lot of people do those however to get a taste of several places and then go back and spend more time in their favorite. Just know, you will get the touristy highlights going that route.

If you have local travel groups or online forums, you might make some foreign friends (safely!) and consider an exchange - you go stay there, they come stay here! You get the tour by a local and spend time "living" like they do rather than shuffled from historic sight to the next. Just a thought..

I've heard Dubrovnic and Croatia is incredible - a real treat. I've not been but several have commented it was great. London - of course, a must see...too much to list. Be careful, as all those lovely lads will chat you up!! :) Be sure to try some fish and chips and hit a few pubs...you won't be disappointed! lol Italy - I could write a book..my favorite country. Spain - Madrid has some nice things to offer; have some paella, sangria and get outside the city and tour the castles/churches.

Be safe, be smart and most of all, have a blast!

July or August? Bad time to do a Eurotrip. Unless you don't mind massive crowds everywhere.

I went in November 2007 for four weeks, by myself. No crowds, no lines, no waiting. Sure it was a little chilly, but well worth it. It's also cheaper in the off season.

I was thinking about going with a travel partner, or "meeting" someone there, but I'm glad I took the solo route, and I would definitely go alone again. I was on my OWN schedule. I didnt have to wait for anyone, or agree on a place to go/see with anyone. I met some really wonderful people that were also solo, and even went to eat or sightsee with them.


I planned it all out online first, about four months in advance. I'm not sure what the cost would be now, with the economy the way it is, but it was fairly cheap when I went. The total trip cost me about 2500(USD). Thats including plane tickets, rail passes, hotels, food, souveniers, sightseeing tours, museums, public transportation, etc... Not bad for 30 days, and 5 different countries.

I started off in Frankfurt. Then over to Prague, to Paris, up to Brussels, day trip in Bruges, and spent my last week in Holland. All beautiful places, with beautiful people.

There is a book called "Rick Steves' Europe Through The Back Door", it explains how to stretch your dollar while you're over there, and it has cheap places to stay, eat, etc.... It really helped me out a lot.


I really hope you get to go! It's an amazing experience.
