How to plan out my trip to Europe next spring by aem2

"I started planning this trip last August, saving for four years, and I'm pretty sure it's going to be all kinds of awesome."

How I did it: Lots and lots of internet research as well as pouring over guidebooks.  I figured out where I wanted to go and googled all those places.  The forums on TripAdvisor.com are a really useful resource -- search through for what you're interested in, and somebody has probably answered your question already, 

Lessons & tips:

  • plan your budget beforehand and keep a running total of what you're planning to spend so there are no surprises
  • read the traveller's tips on sites like RickSteves.com or TripAdvisor -- they will save you a lot of grief
  • find out what tickets need to be purchased ahead of time so you're not disappointed

Resources: I found stuff all over the internet, but TripAdvisor was one of my main resources.
