Thanks for all the advice already. I just ran into a guy today at Copymax when I was making copies of my passport and cards and he gave me some helpful hints too. I will be starting in London, then plan on going through Amsterdam, Munich, Paris, Venice, Rome, and some others. I'm going by myself, so I'm a little scared, but I really hope to "find myself" while I am there. My friends make fun of me when I say that, but I definitely hope that this is a life changing experience. How long is a flight from Arizona to London? Are British Airway flights nice? I dont really understand the time zone difference but I leave Arizona at 7:05 PM on Monday and arrive in London at 1:05PM Tuesday. I'm sure I will have more questions throughout the weekend, so I'll post. Again, thank you so much for your tips!

dude! they can laugh all the want- but you are going to have an amazing time! I can almost promise you taht you are going to come back a stronger, more wordly traveler with so many interesting stories- then they can see who will be laughing
as far as traveling by yourself- my advice is to not limit yourself. My friend maria traveled all over italy by herself but she didn't have as great a time b/c she was in the hotel by 9 and didn't get to explore as much. Even if you don't want to- go to the bar you saw around the corner and try to chat people up- there are a LOT of irish/english pubs allover europe- they are terribly in fashion there- so you will definately meet people- but strike up conversations- you'd be surprised who you meet.
also- if you are staying in hostels- try to make friends with the people you meet in the common room or in your hall- we met some incredible people on our travels and had a blast. When i was in dublin- it was just me and my best friend- we met two other girls that weres taying in our room- and we met up with them in london a few weeks later- and we still talk to them (i also met people that went to college in my home town) so don't be shy
