[QUOTE="kcatto, post: 2296732, member: 3279"] In 1994 I backpacked through europe with 5 of my friends... we did this the summer after we graduated college... we bought eurail passes good for 90 days and we went to almost every significant place we could schedule a train or ferry to take us. we stayed in hostels and small pensions.. all together it only cost us about $3500.00 each meals, travel, food everything which is not to bad to be bumming around europe for 90 days... we went to Auschwitz, (Dachau, my grandfather was in the 45th and they were the first through there), One thing I did was try and visit all the places my grandfather fought in WWII, he had told me some things not much, but some things about his time in WWII.. Since he was my everything, and pretty much raised me from a kid. It was a nice way to reconnect with him mainly because he had passed away in 1991.... we went to normandy to omaha and utah beach, little did we realize at the time but we had to listen to a speech by pres. clinton. as it was the 50th anniversary of the D-day invasion.. seeing the president was not the highlight but we did get to meet several of the remaining soliders from D-day that could and did make the trip back for the memorial service. It was a once in a lifetime accident that was amazing.... [/QUOTE]
