Should I buy a Eurail pass? Is it worth it?

If the answer is no, please don’t tell me. Today I purchased my incredibly expensive $1,000 Eurail pass. I guess this will be the ultimate test of its worthwhileness. The problem with all the information I found about them on the internet is that the info is coming from people who sell the things. How trustworthy is that?

Anyway.

My thoughts are this: even if the pass isn’t worth it, I am sure it is worth at least $500. And in the scheme of things, if I really want our adventure to be fun, having the flexibility to travel whenever you want me to is sort of important. So I bit the bullet and bought the Eurail pass. In three months I’ll let you know if you should buy one too, ha ha.

We really don’t have any guidelines set up about changing a decision that’s already been made. 13 people voted, and most people said I should skip Ireland and try to go to the festival, and it looks like I am going to make a go of it. I read on about.com something about taking a night bus there, and I think that might be the only option at this point, since it is less than 18 days away and all the hostels are booked. As long as I can say the words “La Tomatina!” I’m sure i’ll be fine. And the uncertainty will only make the story better.

I’ve booked 3 nights at Palmers Lodge in London. It was a suggestion left in my FaceBook group, so there we go.

Does anyone have any ideas how I should make my way down to the festival?
