Flying into London on June 14th, I'm there for 2 weeks, staying with a friend who is studying and another friend who lives an hour away in Peterborough, and spending some time at the Generator.
June 27th I fly to Madrid where I meet the people I will be studying with for 6 weeks. We are there a few days, then off to Salamanca to meet host families and start school. We take side trips throughout the 6 weeks of school to places like Granada and Santander.
After that I'll visit Barcelona and Seville, Berlin, Amsterdam, and Prague, but I really have no idea of dates or anything...all depends on the money situation!

Sounds like an awesome trip! I am in London right now and I just got here 3 hours ago. I already love this place. Very diverse in history, people, and cultures. It's December and the hostel is actually full! I didn't think it would be. I am staying at Picadilly Backpackers and it seems cool so far.

If your looking for another real cool place to go in "Spain" you should go to San Sebastion..... it is proabably one of my absolute favorite places in Europe. It is beautiful and the beaches are great and the locals are a blast.
It is in Northarn "Spain" in Basque Country. Cool history and a cool town with a great surf.
