I think we have changed our minds again. Scott got his time off from work anytime he wants so we will probably go in May or June, and since last night we've been looking at a lot more tour options. I took another look at Cosmos and I think I found the right one for us... I really wished the other tours included Berlin, and then I found this one that does! Berlin, Venice, Rome, and the French Riviera are high on my list of places to see

And it's longer and cheaper than the Contiki one we had looked into.
Cosmos - Affordable Escorted Tours & Vacations I also like that it has a list of hotels we'd stay at, and we looked them all up and they had pretty good reviews on TripAdvisor

A few of the Contiki forums made it seem like you never know where you'll stay with them... since the crowds can be so rowdy, quite a few hotels have banned them.
I've also been checking out some websites for hostels and bed and breakfasts in the UK so we can hopefully save some money there. Scott wants to stay in hostels to meet other travellers and I want to stay in little family bed and breakfasts to meet locals!
