Hey everyone! I just came across this website last night and have found it VERY useful so far. I have some questions of my own and am hoping I'll get some help from you lovely experienced people!
In January '06 I'm going to London to work for 6 months through BUNAC and am VERY excited! As the plan goes, I'll be working from mid Jan. thru mid. July, and I want to take the rest of July and probably all of August to TRAVEL EUROPE!!! Whoo hoo!!
Can you tell that I am ridiculously excited?! What I need some advice on is the amount of time and money I will need to see all of the places I want to see. Okay so here's my list-- bare with me :D
-London (duh)
-Dover
-Scotland- Loch Ness & Isle of Mull <-have some family heritage here!
***I'll probably do all these while staying in London for the 6 months***
-Paris
-Versailles
-Some beautiful, small charming village in the French countryside (suggestions anyone???)
-Nice
-Monaco
-Venice
-Tuscany
-Florence
-Rome
-Sicily
-Athens
-Delphi
-Crete
-Santorini
(maybe a trip around some Greek island?!)
Okay... am I trying to pack way too much into a month or month and a half? Given I will probably take some trips to Paris during my 6 month stay in London, so I can probably scratch that one off the list if I have way too many destinations. Obviously, I'm trying to do this the cheapest way possible while still seeing the beauty and excitement of these locations.
I know this is a long post, but I am new at this and really can use all the advice and help I can get.
Please let me know if you think I can do all this in a month 1/2's time. Also, how much should I budget for this? $2000... more? Thanks so much everyone!!
