Yeah, that's what I found too. I realized today though that the only way to order a pass online is for them to mail it to your address, so I'm going to figure things out there the first day I'm in Milan at the train station. Dad talked to a travel agent who said that was a fine way to do it, and would probably be even a little cheaper. So as of now just have to figure out booking hostels, which i'm doing right now at hostelworld.com.
