It depends a lot on the kind of places you stay and exactly where and when you visit. In general, you can get by for around $100 per person per day if you stay in hostels and watch your budget. Hotels will cost more. I generally spend 100-150 euro a night just for hotels when I go out exploring. Here are some resources that can help you plan and check options and current prices for your trip (expect prices in the future to rise):
http://www.kayak.com/ - airfares & hotels; the explore function is useful for finding the less expensive places to fly into from your starting point. Tuscany is an entire region, not a town. The most convenient airports to fly into will be Pisa or Florence, but Rome or Bologna are also reasonable options.
http://www.skyscanner.it/ - particularly good for budget flights within Europe, but you can also use everywhere as a destination to do something like the explore option on Kayak. You may not need the airfares, but you can compare to the cost of the trains to get around. this one may be more useful for you. Palermo is a long trip by train, Naples to Palermo is one leg of the trip where you might consider flying.
http://www.fsitaliane.it/homepage_en.htm⦠- train schedules and prices. The trains are a great way to get around here. You need to be aware that even with a railpass, many high speed, international and night trains require reservations and you will have to pay an additional supplement for the reservation. In places like Spain or here in Italy, railpasses are rarely worth the money.

You can also look into camping or couch surfing as cheaper alternatives for accommodations.

For sightseeing prices: check the websites for entrance fees for the museums & galleries you're interested in. I spend anywhere between nothing and 40 euro a day depending on exactly what I go to see when out exploring. For food, I spend around 25 to 50 euro for a meal, but you can eat for less. I was in Venice recently and paid 32 euro for lunch at Da Raffaele sitting at a canal side table with the gondolas passing by. Here in Italy, You can get a whole pizza for 8 to 13 euro or a pasta dish in the same range. Panini or pizza by the slice is less. For reference, a McDonalds McMenu classico (medium) is going for around 7.50 euro. While you can eat cheaply most of the time, I would recommend getting a good local meal from time to time; that's part of the overall experience that it would be a shame to miss. When I travel, I like to try the local specialties and the good restaurants.

What place would you recommend for a first vacation?
Autum
i live in the U.S. so outside preferably, and this is for future reference as i havent been at my current job long enough to take long PTO vacations.
i love history, and geology so i think places with a lot of influence on that would be way cool. anything you have suggestions for would be great. just to give you an idea, these are places ive considered in the past:
germany
england
italy
egypt
iceland (i think? maybe its greenland)
any suggestions would be appreciated! :)
id like to add that ive been to over 30 US states so ive been to most of the ones people would suggest. ive been to california, texas, las vegas, live in colorado, and many others that have wonderful things to see. ive been wanting to travel outside the US for a long time, ever since i can remember. so this is more what this post is about. thanks for any answers! :)
Answer
If you haven't been to Hawaii, I would recommend that. Specifically, I would say go to Kona on the big island. There is some history there, but also geology and nature - volcanoes, hikes, and snorkeling, for example. It is a great place to visit for 10 days or so.
Iceland is only reasonable for a couple of months in the summer. It has camping and hiking to see the really neat geology, but not much else.
In terms of history, Italy and Greece are jaw dropping. Especially Italy. You could visit a hundred times and still be going to unique places with fantastic art and architecture. Milan, Florence, Rome, Ravenna, Venice. You can't miss.
France, Germany, England, Holland, and Denmark are also good, if you plan your trips well.
Egypt is out of the question these days.
