Eurail passes!

We finally ordered our Eurail passes and they arrived in the mail yesterday! We got 21 day Youth Global passes. That means we can ride anywhere we want, as much as we want for 21 consecutive days. The youth pass is a little cheaper and it's considered "2nd class." Anyone over 25 years old has to get first class tickets. That means we'll be riding in a compartment with all 18-25 year olds. We are excited about that. We also decided to get the insurance. It was only $20 a piece, and if we lost them or they got stolen it would cost us a lot more. The price went up about $30 a piece in the last month or so, but we're still right on budget. With the insurance, we paid about $1230 for both. They came with a whole book of timetables. I hope we can figure out the schedules and everything. It seems so complicated! Our trip is coming up very fast, and we are starting to think about what to pack. We leave in less than 3 weeks!
