Much better, Belgium isn't really worth of an entire vacation.
spending a day at each city could be worth it, plus we have a local giving us a tour. Going to spend a day at a monastery, I may convert

Does your Chase card have a smart chip? May limit your ability to use credit cards if not. We went last year to Berlin, London, & Dublin- none took American cards without smart chip.



Eta- is your phone unlocked? You can get a couple of GB cheap overseas if so. Huge plus to have 4g abroad.

If you are going in the Spring I would recommend going to Switzerland you may be able to still Ski.

Prague is kind of a dump but if you are going on a guys trip you will have the time of your life.

I did not do this for the 3 weeks I was in Europe. Just about everywhere you will go has free wifi.

What you can do is get your provider to unlock your phone and buy a prepaid sim card for about $20. International plans can get really expensive.

Depends on the quality of the beer?

No... well I could

Belgium, Germany, Amsterdam, Canterbury, and the a 5th location. Either Prague, London, Milan, Venice, or somewhere close.

There is also Viber and if you have an iphone you can facetime other iphone peeps with the wifi.

$40 is really cheap.

That airbnb link you posted is for a place in New Zealand.

If you do Prague stay in Prague 5. That's where all the action is at.
