<human>: In August my GF and I are going on a 2 month vacation to Europe. We are on a modest budget as we have saved for over a year and will be relying on those savings(about $25k combined). We are planning to land in Germany and stay in hostels and vacation apartments. We want to visit a few countries but don't want to spread ourselves too thin trying to see everything. We mostly plan to see a lot of Germany (definitely being there for part of Oktoberfest), The Netherlands (hope to contact family here), the UK, Ireland (GF has family in Ireland), France and perhaps weekends in Italy and/or Spain. Any suggestions, tips, warnings, or stories of your travels through Europe would be appreciated.

Can you give me the gist of the text in a nutshell?
