Where do I go?

I think I have decided. At least, as a general geographic region.

I believe that Monday (or maybe Tuesday -- it depends on flight times and being able to collect the flat deposit back before any flight takes place on Monday) will find me flying to Prague or Budapest. Maybe Bratislava. I'm actually thinking Budapest, and then taking a train down to Istanbul or thereabouts.

I'm planning on spending about 4-5 weeks in that area. Then, I will take a quick flight back to London, then I will fly back to continental Europe. [As another of my side notes: my friend that actually lives in London is doing two HUGE travel-related favors for me: 1. he is allowing me to leave some clothes and stuff with him, so I can have a lighter pack (so very, very cool, since I will not need some of my clothes in the next month, but will need them *in* a month); 2. and I will be buying a Eurail pass via the US website, having it shipped to a friend of his, and then having said ticket make it's way to London and him, where he will hold on to it for me until I come back to London (thank heavens for cheap flights around Europe!).
