re: Planning a Trip to Europe

I've been to Europe 3 times and while the idea of traveling all over is idealistically awesome, the reality is its not.

My recommendation is pick 3-4 places that are fairly close to each other but different countries so you get different experiences. I wouldn't start in London and end in Greece, they are very spread apart. For example Amsterdam, Brugge, paris, and berlin. Or Munich, Salzburg, Switzerland, Northern Italy.

Its very easy to do too much.

Also, I would highly recommend spending a couple days in the country. Think of it like experiencings Louisiana by only seeing New Orleans.
