Let the bookings begin!

To celebrate graduation, I have began to plan and book a trip to Eastern Europe and the United Kingdom. To make things easier for anyone wanting to book a similar trip, I will post links to pages and continue to blog about the trip as it happens. So far, we have decided to fly into London and spend 5 nights there battling jet lag and taking day trips. From London, we are flying to Prague via Ryanair (for $200! Deals on deals) and taking two bus tours offered through Busabout. The two I have discovered are the Classic Rhapsody Trek and Bohemian Trek. So we will be touring through 7 countries in 16 days and seeing sights I've always wanted to see, but have been too intimidated to follow through on. We've decided to go through a tour guide simply because of the language barriers and for security measures. Safety first! From there we are flying back to England and touring through Salisbury, Bath, Stoke-on-Trent, Nottingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Hexham and then off to Scotland. I cannot wait to embark on this adventure! Any tips would be greatly appreciated, as we would love to save money in any way! Currently trying to debate on train passes and hotels/hostels.
