Here is my travelogue from the European Inspiration during the summer of '07. It's still a work in progress so check back periodically. Hope this helps some people gain some info before they go on thier tour. I know reading other peoples' blogs helped me a lot before I went on mine.

Hey, Just started reading your travelogue. I'm doing the same trip but in the winter (Jan 14th - Feb 1st). Sounds like you had a great time and really helpful too!!
Thanks Cya

Hi Kim,

I thought your travelogue was great! Looks like you had a great trip. I'm looking at doing the European Inspiration tour next September... just wondering how much spending money would you recommend? I saw that you mentioned the trip was becoming more expensive than you budgeted for haha...
Any insight would be great...
Thanks Krista

Krista,

I honestly don't know how much I spent on this trip. I tried not to add it all up so I wouldn't start crying...haha. I would probably recommend at least $2000 in spending money. I did all of the optionals and didn't limit myself on getting things I wanted since I was on vacation. I didn't go crazy either though... It also depends on how much you drink. That all adds up too. And how long you spend in London since it's so expensive there. I wouldn't take any of it back though. Our tour guide always said, you probably won't look back and think "man, I shouldn't have done that or spent that money", but you might look back and think "I should have spent the money and done it" I thought it was good advice. By the way, the travelogue is complete, so feel free to check it out now!
Kim
