Travel Plans

As 2013 has passed and the time for me to leave is getting closer I am glad to say my parents have secured their flight to visit me in May and Cassie is securing her flight to visit in March! I began to look at different ways of traveling while abroad and am having difficulties. I know I want to travel to Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Greece, and Austria, however, I am not sure the best way to do that. Most of my traveling will be done on the weekends or during my vacations from school. I looked at eurail tickets and the prices are much higher than I had expected but I have heard that is the best way to travel in Europe. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them! My visa came in and it looks like I will be traveling to England for three days when it expires to exit and re-enter the Schengen area to be able to stay in Spain for 3 months without a visa. That could be interesting haha! Thankfully my brother-in-laws uncle lives in England and has invited me to stay with him! I cannot wait for this time to get here! I leave in 30 days.... the countdown has begun!
