@Cycloptichorn,
Here is my advice, having been to Europe more than once.
Here is a nice list of cities to see, and I would try to plan my itinerary according to city/town rather than country:
1. Lisbon, Portugal (take the tour bus in Belem)
2. Barcelona, Spain (see Barcelona beach and the University library)
3. London, England (see the Crown Jewels)
4. Geneva, Switzerland (visit the famous bank and eat chocolate)
5. Bucharest, Romania (visit Parliament Palace and eat at Bistro Jaristea)
-------
Take the public transportation, drink bottled water, and try to catch folk music.
Wine and cheese abound in Europe.
You can find this stuff on WikiTravel.
Eurodisney is nice in the summer.
