So, I just booked a flight to Amsterdam. Planning on hitting up the Netherlands show, then Belgium, then France in June/July. I've never traveled out of the US. Anyone want to give me some advice? I see you can purchase a 3-country rail pass which I'm guessing is the best way to get around over there when traveling between shows. Now I just need to find out how to get home! I'm crazy...totally cannot afford this but you only live once, right?

I spent a month in England and Ireland when I was in college and here's some advice. Don't spend all of your money on late nights at pubs and sleeping until 4 or 5 the next day while running so short on money you can no longer afford to visit Paris while you were there. Also, take pictures. I came home with exactly one and it was Big Ben. I could have gotten a postcard for that one.
Oh and reading your posts here I realize you are a nice person, but this is for some other Amercians who may be reading this. Be nice and be respectful. You are guests in their country. Represent us well. :thumbup:
It only makes any American who does it look like a total moron with a rude streak.
That said, most people in Europe speak enough English to give you directions, etc. Just be polite and people generally are very nice and helpful in most countries I've been to.

Finnish tap water is actually delicious.
Ours is OK (it depends on the area), but it was more a joke about preconceived ideas some Americans have about Europe and France especially.

Yeah, I figured you were joking. About the injections anyway.

In Bruges is really funny, typifies how the locals see the brash American (and to a lesser extent, Aussie) travellers. Shows you the prettiness of Bruges.
Before Sunset is 50% constant dialogue between Ethan Hawke and Julie Delpy, 50% travelogue with Paris as the star. On one of the trips I made there it was purely based on going to all the places they went - all the nice spots of Paris the guidebooks won't point out to.
Do try to learn a few words of the local lingo. Well, moreso French than Dutch. Dutch pronunciation is bloody hard.
