What do you think about my Itinerary For My Fall Backpacking Trip for this October through November.
Amsterdam, The Netherlands: 5 days (with 2 day trips to both Eindhoven and Delft).
Paris, France: 6 days (with one day at Versailles).
Bordeaux, France: 2 days (with a winery tour)
Madrid, Spain: 4 days (one day side trip to Toledo)
Seville, Spain: 2 days
Grenada/Cordoba, Spain: 2 days
Barcelona, Spain: 4 days
Cadaques/Girona, Spain: 2 days
Monaco, Monaco: 2 days
Cinque Terra, Italy: 3 days
Venice, Italy: 2 days
Florence Italy: 5 days (with one day trip to Pisa and one to Siena)
Rome, Italy: 4 days
I will be flying open Jaw from Chicago to Amsterdam when arriving in Europe and then Rome to Chicago returning on KLM for $1,123. I also will be getting a Select Country Eurail pass for 10 days of travel in 2 months (plus an extra free bonus day deal if I purchase now). The rest of the days I will pay per trip (if it balances out less than needed and for day trips). The days for the cities listed include travel to that city. Do you think reserving seats for ICE and direct trains can be done if I reserve several days prior to travel instead of now (making plans too concrete)? Thanks for your input.
