Hey I need your help with my Itinerary. I am starting to get overwhelmed. I originally was going to do a Contiki tour but decided against it because of flexibility and I really want to see Castles. I have watched massive Rick Steeves Video and read a book on Europe Etc... IT seems daunting that I will be traveling to Europe August to Nov 2012. In July I will be taking a tour through Asia and making my way to the transiberian to goto Moscow where I will be August 3rd. What I need help with is once I get there. I really want to see the cities and major tourist / what Europe is famous for. Also the castles and a few amusement parks, natural wonders, etc... I have included my google map with all sorts of castles I found online and some tourist locations. Can you help me with Itinerary and times I need in each place. Please keep in mind Oslo is on the list twice because my brother lives there and I can take a break mid-trip and at the end from all the travel.

Help me know the amount of time needed in each place and the route I should take using Eurail, possibly ryanair

I see you only have two castles marked in the UK. There are SOOOOO many that you could travel for a year there and not see them all. Check out English Heritage and this: http://www.castlexplorer.co.uk/list-brit.php

Since you mentioned RyanAir, and in case you're not familiar with the airline: be careful with their 'destination' airports. Oftentimes they're not remotely close to where they claim to be and arrive and depart at very early or very late hours, which can and does lead to complications. It's all part of the deal. :)
