If you are European you can buy an InterRail pass: http://www.interrailnet.com/ That will give you your travel, unless you want to use high speed trains (surcharge) and overnight trains (compulsary reservation, and maybe also couchette cost.) If you are not European you can look into the Eurail passes, but those are more expensive: http://www.raileurope.com/rail-tickets-passes/eurail-global-pass/discounts-and-pricing.html Both passes come in different versions for length and coverage. See all different versions and work out which is best for you, as in how often and how much time per travel you want to be on the train. Train and hostels are a good combination, you will also meet a lot of people that way. If you want to camp, doing so while traveling by train is rather hard, as most campsites are far from the railway station and you will have to carry much more gear. It is possible, most campers use cars of at least bicycles. When you use hostels, next to your clothes you need a towel and in some cases a sheet sleeping bag, (but I have seen sheets for rent in almost all hostels.) A sleeping bag can come in handy, but is not often needed, specially in summer. If you go camping you will need a sleeping bag, and a mat, a tent, and likely also a stove, pan, plate, knife, fork, spoon and you can add the rest if you do camp. About your route, from the south of Portugal to Italy is a long way, you can contemplate a flight, if booked early they are not that expensive. But you can also take a week to travel back though Spain and the south of France. At this time a travel like that will cost about €75 (£75, $US100) per person per day, allowing you a little for the odd drink and sightseeing. Assuming you stay in hostels and your travel cost already paid for. If you travel by car you can cover more distance each day, but you will have to add for petrol/gas, as well as highway toll and cross channel ferry. For hostels and sightseeing information, and a few addresses of campsites, I prefer the Lonely Planet series, but in any case you will need a good guidebook covering the area you want to travel. If you want to travel by train, your only real options lay in going to Paris and south from there, in Spain you will have a few options, but do not count on many trains on all lines, often it is only a few per day. This railway map you can see where rail travel is possible: http://www.interrailnet.com/interrail_railway_map And the German railplanner in English is mostly a good help on travel information. It just does not give info on travel to Portugal at the moment: http://www.bahn.de/international/view/en/index.shtml So here is also one for Portugal: http://www.cp.pt/cp/displayPage.do?vgnextoid=87cbd5abe2a74010VgnVCM1000007b01a8c0RCRD&lang=en

if u r only staying 4 2 weeks just leave your animals with family or friends. I'm 90% sure that your dog will need to stay i the U.K. for 6 months and im not sure but i think that after spending time in the U.K. they will need to stay with animal control for a while. just leave your dogs. It will be a more enjoyable holiday for the both of you

You should be easily able to travel within the EU as long as you have a pet passport. You are good to start to organise it now because I understand you need to start planning at least 6 months in advance. This site should give you all the information that you need http://www.defra.gov.uk/wildlife-pets/pets/travel/index.htm If all else fails, talk to your local vet.

Can I have my visa sent urgently

Can I have my visa sent urgently?
I'm Mexican and I live in England, I need to get a US visa to go go a conference in June, but I will be travelling to Portugal to do field work on the 24th of March for two months and I need my passport as soon as possible. Is there a way to have my visa processed quicker to get my passport in time?? What about applying for the visa in Portugal? Would it be possible?

Try to get an appointment for the U.S. B-1 visa application on the first day after you return from Portugal. If you try to apply for the visa before you travel to Portugal you may probably not get your passport back in time and will be stuck in Britain.. •○•○• Added (based on your additional details): By law you can apply for the U.S. visa from any U.S. Embassy or Consulate General. However it is not a good idea to apply for a U.S. visa from a country in which you do not have economical and social ties. Visa officers stationed in Portugal can asses the ties an applicant has to Portugal and can asses the genuineness of Portuguese document. They cannot asses your ties to the United Kingdom or the gegenuineness of British supporting documents. The U.S. Embassy in London states on their website that appointments for visa applications are always available, usually on a next workday basis, for applicants with urgent need of travel to the United States. Make use of this service as soon as you return to the U.K. from Portugal. http://london.usembassy.gov/emergency-appointment.html .. Source(s): http://london.usembassy.gov/apply.html ..

Since you are Mexican, already in UK, traveling on job to Portugal, then on to the USA. Your applying for a visa to the USA makes good sense in the scheme of things at hand. To better your chances of getting a US visa from Portugal, you may get your two-way travel ticket in hand and bring it along to the US Embassy in Portugal while applying for your visa from there. Honestly, you can not rush an Embassy of another country to issue you a visa for any reason, unless it is an emergency of a grave nature that is well-documented as well.
