Well, it only took over two weeks, but I have finally finished putting up all my pictures from my trip on my Web site. So check them out…
I now have less than three weeks before my next big trip, and I think I have it almost all figured out now. I bought a Eurail Pass, which offers me 7 days of travel anywhere in Spain, France or Italy. When I bought it I thought it would take care of all my travel expenses, but I was wrong. For all the trains we want to take we had to make a reservation, which of course costs more money.
So Sarah and I went to the train station today, and we were at the window for about a half an hour. Needless to say the people behind us in line were not too happy. The first train we wanted was fully booked, so we had to take the train the next day. That in turn changed all of our hostel bookings, so in the end we had to pay about 85 more euros for our travels (on top of the 220 euros we already paid for the pass) and deal with changing or hostels. We are still waiting to hear back from the hostels about changing our dates. Hopefully it won’t be too big of a deal because we gave them about three weeks notice.
I am just glad that we almost have everything finished now. I know it will all be worth it in the end, and we will have a great time. I am just going to have to eat bread and cheese until we leave, so I can afford this trip!

Yikes! I had no idea it would be so difficult! We don't have a Eurailpass. We have a RailEurope senior pass for one country. We made our reservations on line and we had our tickets within 3 days.
You didn't tell me you had to be in line that long!! You rock though, I really appreciate it!! Let me know if I can do ANYTHING from here!
