OK, does this seem to make any sense....first
Im flying into London where
days - 2
nights - 2 then
travel day to Ireland (rail?) where
days - 3
nights -3 then
travel night(rail?) to Amsterdam -
days - 3
nights - 3 then
travel day( rail?) to France where
days - 2
nights - 3 then
travel day(rail?) to Italy where
days - 3
nights -3 then
travel night(rail?) to Spain where
days - 3
nights - 3 then
travel back to London (EasyJet flight)
for a night until I fly back to the US...
so...does this seem doable? and am I adding mucho travel expense by going to Ireland? It seems a little pricy to get there from London....any tips on the cheapest way to do this?
THANX!!!!

You might consider going to Spain before Italy. Its a pretty long journey to get through the Alps and to do that twice would suck up a lot of your time.
There's supposed to be a real fun ferry that goes from Ireland to France. They usually have movie theators and casinos in them. You might want to check that out.

Yeah, going by rail from London to Ireland will take a while - probably more than one night, as you'll probably have 2-3 transfers... The ferry's probably the way to go, or a cheap-ass flight (see: ryanair, easyjet, bmi). Same thing with Ireland to Amsterdam. I believe it's a 2-day ferry ride, and NOT cheap - at least, not when I looked into it.

Recomendations: Fly to Ireland.
Train from London to Paris....then to Spain(Barcelona), then Italy, then to Amsterdam, via...anywhere you wantin Switzerland. then fly from amsterdam to London or take train....check eurostar and ryanair to see which is cheaper
lemme know if you need help

i hate doing this but i have removed italy for a few reasons. So, this should add an extra day to each country, allowing for a less hectic schedule, and also cut down on the travel costs. so...london, then cheap flight to ireland, cheap flight to amsterdam, a few days there and the rest of the netherlands, rail to france, rail to madrid, cheap flight back to london where i fly home....its about 4 days and nights in each place, 5 in some...thanx for all the help everyone...it has been very handy-didly-andy
