Ever take an escourted train trip through Europe using the Vacations By Rail company? We are planning a trip to Europe this summer with two children, ages 12 and 8, and it was recommended that we take a tour offered by a company called "Vacations By Rail". The tour that looks like a good fit is called "Contrasts of Europe" (http://www.vacationsbyrail.com/europe/train_tours/contrasts_of_europe/index.html). Anyone ever take it? If so, what are your thoughts? The company that actually runs the tours is Trafalgar Tours.

Specifically, how many outfits (regular and dressy) do you think I will need. Note- I plan on doing some wash here and there, so I know I won't need like 40 outfits lol. Thank you for your help! =] Thank you so much for a detailed response. I'm not a "typical" American. Even though I am only 18 I have traveled alot internationally but never to europe.

But thanks again for your responses! =]

I am considering a two week vacation to Europe what would be the best place to visit? My thought is Germany and that area but I know nothing about it, I also considered Italy but heard lately it was very dangerous...I know nothing about either, any advice would be greatly appreciated especially from natives from Europe. It would be mainly sightseeing, nothing too 'wild' if you know what I mean. What would the minimal amount of time to see most of Europe? Its good to know about Italy, not sure where I heard that recently but it came as as surprise to me too. I can't choose as all of you made all of them sound so wonderful...guess I'll have to extend those two weeks and put a few more on my ever growing list....thank you all so much for your suggestions.

I know a few people who are going on vacation to Europe.? I know a few people who are going on vacation to Europe and they wanted me to roll with them but I really can't afford a round trip airline ticket. Would it be easier to establish quarters inside a wooden crate (food/water/ipod) for a week or however long it takes to get there? Once I arrive, my friends can open me up and we could be on our way. I really don't know how much a 200lb crate would be to ship to Europe, but would it probably be cheaper than an airline ticket? Thanks
Amsterdam, Netherlands, and Europe vacation? I am planning a vacation next year to Europe when the airfare goes down in price with some friends (ages 18-30). My friends insist on going to Amsterdam or somewhere else in the Netherlands as part of the Europe vacation. I like musuems, parks, restaurants, and site seeing (need to see some castles). I was also hoping to see a place where they speak Frisian. My friends are more interested in the bars (taverns) that are infamous in the Netherlands. All of us want to interact with the locals and not be tourists. Where are some of the best places to stay to do this?
