Germany if you like dry food with strong flavor and best beers in the world

Ireland if you like folk music, awful food and ale that's elsewhere refered to as cough syrup.

Paris...the food is good but the portions are microscopic and the people suck bad.

Amsterdam...Awesome if you're single

If you want hospitable people, good food and cheap prices...I'd say book a Mediterranean cruise and stay in few places...because of economic crisis they'll sell their firstborn to you if you got cash.

with the train you can go a ton of p[laces in four days, get a sleepr car train pass and don't anchor yourself to one city!

The only fear I have with sleeper cars is getting gassed and waking up a sex slave!

It would be in September and heat isn't going to be a problem. I'm thinking Mediterranean with a small stab into Switzerland/Germany/czech

Pretty much the entire month of September. I'll be coming from winter down here but I'm pretty good with heat though.

I'm not sure what your opinion of heat is, are we talking 30+ is roasting or are we looking at 35-40?

In september? Probably you won't see much above 35, and you might get lucky and not see it go above 30.

But at least in September people will be back. The thing about August is that literally most of the population of the big tourist italian and spanish cities leave on vacation. So you're left with only fat sweaty tourists. Which sucks hard.

At least in september the normal residents are back. And it is a bit cooler.

I think I'll be fine temperature wise im pretty good in the heat. I had also heard that about the locals being on leave in August

Still have to get my leave approved yet. Trying to take 5 weeks off when I would have only accrued 2 :/
