I have just acquired my Eurail Pass in the mail!  For those of you that aren’t familiar with this pass, it is a pass that allows unlimited travel by train through up to 21 different European countries.  I purchased the Eurail Global Pass which gives me 15 travel days over the span of 2 months.  The days are not consecutive so I have the flexibility to use them on whatever days I like within the specified period.  For example, I can take a train from Amsterdam to Prague and this counts as 1 travel day.  Then I can stay 3 days in Prague, then use the pass again for travel to Munich and that would count as another travel day.  This pass will be my lifeline throught my adventure.  It will be just as important as my passport or wallet so it will need to be kept close.  My expectation is to travel to at least 7 different countries, but with this pass I can easily hop off and on the train in many countries that I might find interesting.  For more information about the Eurail pass, please check out the Eurail Website
