You'll have a blast! I live in Germany (North of Frankfurt!). The best part about being here, is the ability to see so many amazing things! My nuggets:

-take a boat tour in Amsterdam, especially a late one!

-I hated Paris. The Eiffel Tower was amazing, but the rest wasn't that great. Again, take the boat tour late when everything is lit up. WATCH YOUR WALLET HERE! Wander the cemetaries, they are amazing! And, be careful of where you stay...four star there doesn't mean the same thing as it does in the US!

-Just outside of Munich is Dachau, a concentration camp. I visited there awhile back, and it is just something to experience.

-While in Rome, drink from the fountains! I learned that THIS is wear the phrase 'When in Rome...' comes from! We spent so much money on itty bitty bottles of water, and finally saw everyone drinking from the fountains. It was the coldest, best tasting water I'd ever had!

-If you can stop in Pisa...do it! That's been my favorite place so far!

If I think of anything else, I'll let you know!
