Game Prep

In preparation for my trip, I turned to the man I trust most regarding all things European -- Rick Steves. If you've ever caught his show on PBS, then you know that every year he spends four months in Europe, doing research for his guidebooks. His books will take you off the beaten path and really immerse you in the European experience. So, anyways, I paid a visit to ricksteves.com and purchased all sorts of goodies to help me along the way --Just one of the guidebooks I used and my EurailPass

I also picked up Rick's Convertible Carry-On. This is what I plan to live out of for two-and-a-half weeks.
