[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Mr. Presley, it would appear that the closest you and family got to Salzburg was your Zurich-Buchloe trip. One thing I learned on my recent trip was that European trains "ain't cheap", but then, I suppose in a land where Premium gas is $8.18 a gallon, nothing involving energy can be cheap. My Munich-Salzburg "walk up" round trip was €131.00 ($181.62) for First Class 148 miles in each direction. That is a fringe more than Phila-Wash, where a walk up Regional fare is $148. I'm sure had I been a "smart shopper", it would have been less. First would be to avoid their "insurance" for €12.00. Who knows what it covers, but amongst tourists "there's a sucker born every minute". I also learned they have Senior fares, but they are Second class only, and lastly, there is a service charge for reserving seats (€5). While the comfort level is likely less than that of an A-I, DB and OBB trains are fast, efficient, and always " more or less" on time. And finally, as I noted with you privately, my deepest condolences are extended to you and family. [/QB][/QUOTE]
