I don't know if we've had a thread about this or not but I figured I would start one anyways. Me and my girlfriend are trying to plan a trip to Europe for May 2006 as a getaway before our last year of uni. We're planning on either doing a tour through Contiki () or simply doing a hotel/flight package deal through Air Transat.
I was wondering if you guys have had good experiences with trips overseas, and maybe some of you that are more experienced (I'm looking at you Sooz) could lend some advice. Right now we're thinking 5 days in London and 5 in Paris, but that is not set in stone and merely a starting point based on what we think we can afford at the moment.

I can't wait until the day schools are over-funded and the military is forced to hold bake sales to buy planes.

Why are you going to Ireland for so long? Are you planning on staying with family there?

oh cool! also, I just came across a site today if you're interested in travelling around Europe for a little bit...
They have cheap hotels/hostels. Those prices I believe are in American though so you'd have to talk to one of their travel agents to get that converted over to Canadian. They do have a Canadian site on the sidebar but it's not as good as the main site.

I'm going to Europe with my school (even though I'll no longer be with my school) about a month before you're planning to. We're going to England, France, and Spain. At the moment I can't really help you with the travel stuff, because I don't really have much to do with it.
One thing I can tell you is to be careful of pickpockets, when my sister did a European tour, she once saw a pick pocket bribe a policeman with a sandwich, to let him rob a group of tourists.
