Pre-Trip!

OK everybody, I'm about to leave (tuesday May 24th!) and I have a good book for all you Eurailers out there: Europe by Eurail. I'm not taking the book with me BUT it has some good tips and places to go which I have jotted down in my journal. Go to Borders and leaf through it and write some stuff down, don't even buy it ! ( oh sneaky!)
