When your child is still a baby, you can still travel like you traveled before. Babies sleep in the most awkward positions.
When the children hit the toddler phase, traveling gets complicated where the afternoon nap can complicate things. If your child still regularly takes a nap, doing a continuous road trip gets complicated if not impossible.
A very ...

From my personal experience, you should expect to spend 50% more time doing the same trip as you would without your daughter (e.g. 6 weeks instead of 4). Also I would advise to always plan a few days ahead - finding accommodation after dark probably used to be minor annoyance before, but it can easily be a nightmare for both parents and the child now.

You can check out Eurolines and Busabout for a bus Europe travel if you're in a budget. My relatives recently traveled there but I remember they have used http://www.voyajo.com/ for their trip.

Disclaimer: I actually never booked a single flight through them.
Rome2Rio gives the following prices for single routes:
Italy to the US: 259 Euro
Spain to the US: 290 Euro
London to the US: 306 Euro
I didn't enter specific dates.

From Berlin, the closest non Schengen destination is the Kaliningrad Oblast. The beeline distance is +- 500 kilometers and over the road its +- 600 kilometers. There are direct flights between Berlin and Kaliningrad. It is just one hour.
Otherwise, there are a couple of places in non Schengen countries that you can reach in more or less 2h30 by plane: ...

It is completely possible. You can for example buy interrail/eurail pass train tickets. With this train pass, you can take trains for 2 months. If you do that, you can spend less than 6000 USD. For example, I spent 1 month in Europe and I travelled 5 countries, 17 cities (most touristic and expensive ones) and I only spent 1500 EUR.
The only bad thing about ...

There are many to choose from. You'll probably want a prepaid plan from a "discount" provider such as Simyo or Aldi Talk. Here's a comparison.
Typically the prepaid plan includes a pay-as-you-go rate that is very expensive (ca. 24 cents/MB), but you can add a flatrate option which will e.g. cost 9.90 EUR and give you 1GB of highspeed mobile internet within ...

If you don't necessarily need to call with your mobile phone, I would recommend Skype for various reasons, especially if you bring your laptop or tablet. With SkypeOut calling is very cheap to most countries.
If you happen to have a FON account connecting home will be really convenient in the UK, due to the fact that British Telecom integrated the FON ...

There is actually no set law to answer any of these questions besides that you get 90 nonconsecutive days in Schengen as an American. If you are thinking to leave to Turkey for 4 days when your counter hits 86 days in Schengen, expecting to clear your stays (like many people assume), and you come back to Schengen, the counter starts right back up from 86 ...

You won't get caught. I overstayed my Schengen visa for like 6 months each year for 4 years. I am alive and kicking and now I have a permanent working visa in a Scandinavian country. It is all about confidence and knowing the rules, and then playing dumb if you get yourself in a sticky situation.
You hold the blue passport, which makes you a VIP man. Sorry ...

You haven't specified whether your calls will be inbound or outbound, but OneSimCard is a pre-paid service for international travelers and may be a very attractive option. For both the U.K. and Hungary are:
Receive a call: Free
Make a call: $0.29 / $0.39 ($0.59 for Hungary) per minute
Receive SMS: Free
Send SMS: $0.15 / $0.40

If you intend to stay in UK and Hungary more than a couple of days in each, you'd need to buy a package for each country separately. The global services rates you cite are actually pretty competitive, if I compare with what I'm charged for roaming in countries in Europe other than my own. I'd just try to reduce my voice usage as much as possible, and look at ...
