DaddyBuiltRacing Posted August 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 (edited) Haha thanks I will keep that in mind Brandon. I started looking at flying into different countries and learned that its a lot cheaper to fly into London then it is into Germany. Found flights to London for $550 a piece, and then from there to Amsterdam its a ridiculously low $56 dollars. Not only does that save us 1k bucks from the get go, but also cuts down a 8hr train ride to 1 1/2hrs on a plane. Just an idea at this moment really. What sites did you guys use to find your hotels/hostels, plane tickets, train tickets ect... Keep the info coming!!

Got-Boost? Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Thanks Brian I will add you. Again I appriciate all the info. It does suck that a day or 2 will be spent just on train traveling, but we kinda left 2 days open just for the fact that we knew there would be time wasted on the train. I really wish we could visit for say 2 weeks but my school schedule just doesn't allow for that. I figure what we don't get done this trip, we can always see on the next one, because I am sure there will be another trip over there after this one. What are some things to be alert about, such as "don't drink the water", "don't go to this part of town" ect...i am just leary of traveling over seas because you are in their territory and are the outsider. What are some good foods to eat and what are some foods to avoid? Any/all links possible to places to stay and trains would be highly appriciated You really can't go wrong in Germany. Most people are very nice to American's, it's some of the younger crowd that haven't done shit that typically have a problem if at all. If you are traveling with a group you should be fine but just do normal travel abroad stuff, use your head. Always have a dummy wallet with some BS cards and info to give if you are robbed. Keep your real wallet with money/cc, etc. in a separate location hard to reach and only small cash in a close pocket with the dummy wallet. Haha thanks I will keep that in mind Brandon.

What sites did you guys use to find your hotels/hostels, plane tickets, train tickets ect... Keep the info coming!! It all depends on the time of year. I've seen flights anywhere from $400-600 if you get them at the right times. Peak times you could be $1k+. As far as hotels, tons of info depending on time of year. This is a running link my parents keep for traveling in some of those area you want to visit.

CZ: Prague The Three Drums. http://www.pragueholiday.cz/drums.php Hotel At The Three Drums U Radnice street 10/14, Prague 1 - Old Town phone: +420 226 201 910-13 e-mail: three-drums@prague-holiday.cz <http://www.pragueholiday.cz/atthreedrums.html> If the link doesn't direct you, just click The Hotel At The Three Drums on the main page and it will come up... The hotel was fine and I would stay there again because the location is great! If this is your first trip to Prague, I would suggest staying in the area near that square--so much happens there. It may cost more, but it is worth the convenience of being in the hub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Forgot to ask, are you military? You can get a military HOP from Wright Patt or Rickenbacker for free if you are flexible on your travel dates... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaddyBuiltRacing Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 No I am not millitary I am a student and I see that some places offer student discounts though.

El Karacho1647545492 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 You really can't go wrong in Germany. Most people are very nice to American's, it's some of the younger crowd that haven't done shit that typically have a problem if at all. If you are traveling with a group you should be fine but just do normal travel abroad stuff, use your head. Always have a dummy wallet with some BS cards and info to give if you are robbed. Keep your real wallet with money/cc, etc. in a separate location hard to reach and only small cash in a close pocket with the dummy wallet. This. The dummy wallet is essential, and get some traveler's cheques if you can. Its a slight inconvenience to exchange them more often than cash, but if they're lost/stolen you're in the clear. When I traveled I just kept a small billfold on a long chain around my neck. Be prepared to have a LOT of political discussions if you're friendly and open with locals. One of my fondest memories was playing chess with an old man in Austria in some platz (plaza) in the middle of Linz while he told me his experience in rebuilding after the war (in very broken English). That's what got me so interested in military history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
