I am still thinking about Europe, regardless of whether I actually go or not. If I do go, there is the issue of whether I should get a rail pass, or drive on my own. Having not been to Europe before, and also I have not driven at high spped ever, I am wondering about the wisdom of driving myself. At least from photos and movies, it looks like some streets in Europe are very narrow. Then I see pictures of hundreds of vehicles in Rome driving around a traffic circle. That looks like a nightmare for the uninitiated. I have not done very much train travel in my life. Well, unless a few trips on the subway are to be counted. I suppose I could also go from airport to airport. In Europe, though, all the anti-terrorism measures at airports could mean that any travel day would be a day of no touring, *and* I would still have to pay for a hotel room. So a lost day, but still a day that has to be paid for. The least difficult for a first-timer may be to either stay in one place, or to travel by train. If I were only visiting one country, that might be another reason to skip the plane or car rental. I can just see myself renting a car in Europe and then getting into an accident! What I have heard is that if your car has an accident you still have to pay the daily rental for all the days it takes for the car to be repaired. That could be another big hunk of change. I am trying to control costs as much as possible, or rather, I am trying to have a good idea of what the range of costs will be for each variable like food, lodging, traveling, souvenirs, museum admissions, etcetera.
