Hi - anyone going to Munich, Germany on 18 September from somewhere close to Rotterdam? We would love to hitch a ride. Two 22 year old girls off to the Oktoberfest. We leave Munich on 22 September to go back to Holland.

I am planning on travelling through France, Italy and Spain in June 2007with 2 friends, for a month. I have already cancelled out the idea of a rail pass - as i have compared the price of rail pass + reservations to just buying point to point tickets - and they were exactly the same. We are traveling from Paris to Venice, then to Florence, then to Nice, then to Barcelona then back to Paris (all accomodation has been booked.) Because we have such a set itinerary, I have been checking the ticket times and prices on the RailEurope website. My question is, is it worth it to book & purchase all my tickets NOW (for the 5 trips we are definitely doing - not for possible day trips) from the RailEurope website (they work in dollars, not Euros), or should we just wait till we are in the specific cities to buy the tickets? Let\'s say we arrive in Paris, and we know we want to travel from Paris to Venice in a week\'s time - should we buy the ticket once we get there, to make sure we have a spot a week later? Or would it be even BETTER to order all the tickets now before I even get to Europe? I don\'t want a situation where we need to get somewhere, and all the tickets are sold out! What do you think? Does anyone have experience with purchasing tickets online? Is it likely that some trains will already be booked up by the time we get there?

Can someone help me figure out the cheapest way to get to italy from Croatia, Split? I need to get from split to rome by june 16, 2007
