Critique my Itinerary?

Hi. Trying to plan far in advance for my beau and I's two month vacation to Europe in March '09 and April '09. This is an extremely rough draft of our itinerary, but interested in what others think. Also, if anyone has any insight after looking at this itinerary about which Railpass would work best for us, please let me know! Thanks,
Amber

With 60 days, you really can see all of that--lucky you, I'm jealous. Just one thing I noticed: Flying into Paris would eliminate the big northern zig up from Nice to Paris on Apr 8 which is then followed by the big southern zag from Paris down to Barcelona on Apr 13 (if you look at a map). Flying into Paris, then Cologne, then Hamburg, then Berlin, and continuing as you have it--this would probably reduce travel cost (unless there's an airfare reason you're flying into Frankfurt). If you did this, you'd then fly from Nice to Barcelona to avoid the long train ride.
