Well its been about 1.5 months since we returned from Europe.
Europe is very beautiful... The trip was well worth it.
In two weeks we covered most of the highlights of Europe. Despite our very busy itinerarys I feel like we were never really rushed... We saw everything we wanted to see and to tell the truth I think we could of added more. For example Florence could of been cut to one day instead of two.
Some people have been asking about the costs of doing a similiar trip... I estimate we spent about 3000 each including transportation and airfare. Keep in mind that we were eating at relatively nice restaurants most nights, we all had private rooms in our hotels, and we never skimped on attraction tickets. Probably could of spent significantly less.
The most beautiful attractions to me was the Sistine chapel, and the cathedral of Notre Dame.
The best advice i would give is to pack light. I brought 2 pairs of jeans, 4 undershirts, 5 pairs of socks, 3 shirts, 1 jacket. This was too much stuff still.... I could of done with half the stuff.
Also learn some French, Italian, and Spanish. Few Europeans we encountered spoke English in France, Italy, Spain.
Cheapest Country- Spain
Most Expensive- France
Favorite City- Florence, Venice
Also research as much as you can.... We planned the exact routes for most cities and still we got lost, but if we had not done the planning we wouldn't have seen all the attractions.
