Yea I went on expedia.com to see how much it would cost to get flights from different points in europe from jfk to london then from paris to rome.............then from munich or berlin to jfk all together it costs about $2000 on Alitalia...I think thats pretty good if your just going to stay in those cities..or else I suppose the Eurail passes would be better? That question is directed to Nat if he used/brought the eurail passes.

There are several topics on this which you can search on in the forum, but I will distill them down for you real quick.
Basically I think most people agree that the best way to do it is to fly into London for cheap then take a ryanair/easyjet onto the mainland, then from there get a eurail pass. So it would be something like:
overseas ticket:$500
europe ticket:$25 - 50
eurail pass: $350
= 900$
This is basically what I did a few years ago.

yea I was looking at that, but I want to go on the chunnel..it seems so cool, and they let you ride on that for $79 if you have a eurail pass. They also I think have a double person eurail pass where you pay like $800-1000 for unlimited eurail pass for 2 people for 21days which seems pretty good to me.

Oh few more things, you said you got by with english do you know the least bit arabic? Secondly do you think end of may, early june would be a good time to go where I could do this on $35/day budget for egypt?

Thanks for all your input so far.

Nat - I have updated the first FAQ with a section on Trip Reports, and have included this in it.

Thanks, again!
