Booked flights and plans slightly changed. It cost my parents 60k (as opposed to 120k) in airmiles to fly to and from London so that will in all likelihood end up being my home base. I have to make it down to northwest Italy at some point. My dad's best friend is Italian, he moved here 7 years ago. Anyways he told me his family would take care of my food, housing, and expenses by going down there for a week or more. So that basically would support a week of my trip as well.
I'm definitely looking to go out party and have a good time, but as I said I am on a budget. We'll see if I can either raise more money or just really have to play it easy on my expenses.
GWB,
What is the best way to travel? I know from London there is the chunnel (sp?) that runs to Paris. What about going to Amsterdam, is it easiest by ferry or train? What are costs for this. I've been told to buy my Eurorail pass once I'm over there because of the discounts you can get for being 25 or a student. Also are there any cheap hostels in the London area to stay at? Like I said my friend is over there and I'm counting on her for some transportation for some of the trip. My dad's friend Giorgio said he always rents cars when he goes back because they have bio diesel cars that are very cheap on gas to get around. Would you agree with this?
