So im going to europe for the 1st time (yeah finally)... My dad lives on a canal boat in south France. I'm going to meet him in Tolluse<sp?> for 2 weeks while we move his boat else where... After this im going to have a week for myself before I leave. Now I know this isn't that much time so I want to get as much in as I can but not sacrafice quality. So this is what I was thinking... Madrid for a couple days, Barcelona?? (is it a must see) and a couple days in Paris before I fly out. I do love to party... but don't want to blow a bunch of money doing it (wanted to hit up ibiza but don't think I have the time or the $$$). Also what is the best way of getting around... i know there is a eurorail France and Spain pass but it pretty expensive and kind of confusing. Also on average what would you say a good budget be? Are there other options besides hotels and hostels (how much do hostels run?). Like are there families that rent out rooms to travelers and if so do you recommed doing that? And finally what are the DO NOT miss places to see?
A little info about me: I'm a 29 year old male from the San Francisco bay area. I'm going to be arriving in Paris on the 25th of aug. and I will be in europe till the 15th of Sep. Anyone else going to be there the sametime... It would be cool to see what other people are going to be doing and maybe bounce some idea's off eachother....
Thanks in advance and happy traveling to you!
