Bavaria! Bavaria! Bavaria! Okay..I'm gonna kill the spelling of these cities.. Berchtesgarten - Hitlers summer home. Rotenburg Ob Der Tauber - walled medieval city - must visit Kathie Wilfahrt's Christmas Store...open year round..amazing collection of Christmas decorations, cuckoo clocks etc to purchase. Oberammergau and surrounding area. Check out New Schwaunstein - the castle that Walt Disney patterned Cinderalla's castle after. Munich.....beer and brats - 'nuf said

Backpacking Europe last year within a similar timeframe, I found Busabout the best and most economical way to get around, www.busabout.com. My must-see destinations would be Paris, Amsterdam, Prague, Munich, Venice & Rome, and Berlin (particularly if interested in history and great museums). Personally, I don't like Spain, but I know that view is not widely shared on this board, so I'm sure others will be able to provide recommendations there.

Yes, Daisy, have you hashed out an itinerary yet? Even a skeleton one? I think we're all curious to know. : ) Hope you have a great trip - I'm really envious. Promises to be a fun time with great memories.

I didn't read all the posts. But do not miss train travel. It makes it a real European experience.
