Hi Eddie!. Thank you for your comment. This is my first trip to europe, which is why I think I've spent so much time planning. I'm traveling with 2 other girls, so I'm lucky that's I'll be able to split the cost 3 ways. Our original flight cost $767. On top of that, we've already spent ~$3000 on transportation and accomodations. This includes all of our flights within Europe, eurorail pass for Italy, and car rental for Spain. I would suggest using STA (I'm not sure where you're from but they have an office in Pasadena). They helped us book our hotels. When are you going?
