Hi, I just got accepted into a program at a school in London for six weeks over the summer. While I am there I want to do a little bit of traveling around Europe. The problem is that I only have 3 day weekends to do this travling on. I want to go to Ireland, France(if I can bring my self to be around Frenchies for a long weekend), Amsterdam, and maybe even Rome if I can get a cheap flight. Can anyone give me any info about how I would get to these places and what it would cost. I want to do this as cheapely as possible. THANKS.

Oh yea, what does beer cost in London? In liquor stores and in bars. I need to start tot figure out a budget.

Well RyanAir and Easyjet are some dirt cheap airline companies. Other one's are listed in other sections of the site...I don't know them off the top of my head. Train might work but plane would be quicker.

So I'm not much of a help.

Also welcome to the site!!

book your flights ahead of time and its cheap. Flights from london to paris are cheaper than the eurostar. and so much faster. I'm thinking of flying down my next weekend day off. book ahead of time for summer though.

£2.60 a pint in a pub perhaps.. you can always buy it in a grocery store or an off-licensce for less... I myself am fond of £5 bottles of red wine... You can get bottles of alcohol for less than £2, but its really shitty....

You might want to go by train in that case!
