We will be in Europe for 3.5 weeks plus 11 day Cruise out of Civitavecchia. The cities include Brussels, Paris, Monaco, Milan, Venice, Florence and Rome. I already have hotel reservations in those cities and decided to purchase a 4 Day in two months Benelux/France Pass Saver and a 7 Day in two months Italy Pass Saver through your site. I attempted to go to your site for free travel with questions, however, site was not available except it shows Rick's picture at top. Please provide guidance on how to get the free travel response you offer.

Plus you really need to rethink you need for a rail pass. Just for your limited information, a rail pass would most likely be more expensive than point to point tickets.

Let me add to what Frank said about railpasses vs. point-to-point tickets.
If you book well in advance (up to 90 days allowed), you can get discount fares on Thalys trains (www.thalys.com) from Brussels to Paris and on TGVs (www.tgv-europe.com) from Paris to Monaco.
While the Trenitalia site doesn't accept North American credit cards, buying P2P tickets in Italy is almost always cheaper than a pass for Italy alone. Your credit card will work at Italian stations.
