WELCOME BROOKE!

(benna! your names not brooke! )

Glad to know that you like it...

Brooke, what kind of things are you interested in? Architecture? Art? etc... That'll make it easier to recommend places.

Once again welcome!

Since your going to Prague you might as well take a run down to Cesky Krumlov.

Hey! Welcome to the board! Europe? Well in my opinion Germany is a must-Berlin especially. I found the Netherlands to be over rated but you may enjoy it. Britain is a good holiday destination especially Wales.

If you want cheap(er) you probably want to check out Eastern Europe after Spain. Prague used to be quite cheap, but I think its come up a lot now. Budapest might be reasonable, but that is also coming up. I have heard some parts of Croatia are quite nice and still cheap with a great party scene and some great cities right on the sea. If you work your way east and south, you could do Prague, travel through Slovakia(what's there? I don't really know), hit Budapest and then head to the Croatian coast. Eastern europe is near the top of my list for upcoming trips. Good luck.
