U.S. PASSPORT FEES (NEW)

Sorry in advance admins, but not sure where to put this so many will see (feel free to move this where ever):

Just a heads up, I went to renew my US Passport today and luckily I got in just before the fee changes.
As of July 13, all the fees will me increasing.

MORE IMPORTANTLY: extra pages will NO LONGER be FREE, instead it will be 83 bucks for extras. Luckily, the chick noticed my book was full and told me to handwrite a letter requesting a larger booklet be sent due to my extensive traveling. So, go to your passport service offices now to add pages NOW.

Planning for the Eurotrip City Guide app

Since this has come up in a couple other threads and I don’t want to hijack their threads, I will do a summary here.

We are currently in the planning process for a new feature that we are currently calling the Eurotrip City Guide or Eurotrip Printable Guide. Basically, it would be a way for you to specify what you plan to do in a city or during a trip and then before you leave on your trip you would print it off and it would serve as a trip specific guide book.

Eurotrip Planner turns 1 year old

The Eurotrip Planner went live just over a year ago now and it has been adopted very quickly. Including both Published and Unpublished trips, you have entered more than 25,000 trips this past year.

How much time to spend in Eastern Europe?

Hi guys, I’m planning a trip to Europe this December, and I was wondering how long you think I should spend in each of my destinations? I mainly want to know about:
Prague
Bratislava
Vienna
Budapest
How would you spend your time if you had 9 OR 13 days (due to limited flights, can’t spend 10, 11, or 12 days). Is 9 days enough? Is 13 days too much? Let me know what you guys think!! If 10-12 days is really ideal I might have to change some more things around. Thanks!

Switzerland

Hi. I used this site planning my last eurotrip and it was very helpful….lets see if it works for me again! I’ll be in Milan Italy for a few weeks in December/January, and was hoping to do a couple of days in Switzerland. I’m looking for suggestions of where to go to? Which city stands out in your minds as the ONE I should go to? Mainly looking to get in some good eats and pretty views. Not worried about night life or doing any outdoor athletic type activities. Somewhere I can relax and enjoy some quiet time with the family.
