Hello all,

We are heading out to Western Europe from May 24-June 16. We are leaving from Los Angeles, California and into London. We found a flight to London and out of Dublin for $787, so we jumped on that. We have never been to Europe so are looking for any pointers on hostels, transportation, nightlife, etc. We are all recent college graduates looking for one last adventure before we get “real” jobs and have families and so on.

We know what cities we are going to and we know our route (London, Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich, Geneva, Rome, Barcelona, Dublin). We have 2-3 nights in each city. We were planning on getting a 5 country pass for $385 and then flying from Rome to Barcelona and from Barcelona to Dublin. Then we were debating on how to get from London to Paris. Any recommendations on hostels, travel, nightlife, will help us out. We have never been to Europe, so we are rookies.

We also have a website for our trip, www.throwusacrossthe…. We came up with the idea one night because we really wanted to go to Europe this summer, but have been unable to find jobs in this economy after graduating college. We are taking donations as little as 25 cents. You should check it out if you have the time. Thanks

Again, this is our first time out there, so any info helps! Thanks again!
