Thoughts on Train Passes

As usual, BarleyMan is on top of things, recognizing the savings to be had by purchasing "twin" train passes. These passes allow two people to travel together, at a significantly discounted price. Yeee Ha ! ! We are all for saving money.

I hope, however, that BarleyMan has also recognized the logistics involved with these passes; you must travel at all times with the same person. Since there are so many attendees this year, it is quite possible, and highly probable, that there may well be a day trip or two that does not include everyone. So, strategically speaking, who do you pair yourself with? Your significant other, which means you must always travel with the other, or do you pair yourself with someone who's travel plans may more approximate your desires? What a dilemma.

After serious consideration, Chugger and EinFahrt have agreed..... we expect the women to always travel together, and the men to maybe travel with them. So, Chugger and EinFahrt plan to share a twin pass, whilst the Designated Walker and the Virgin will share a pass. This provides the best of all worlds. Designated Walker and Virgin can travel, with or without the significant others. If Chugger and EinFahrt travel as well, everyone is happy.

So, we postulate that BarleyMan needs to share his twin pass with Joe "God is the story over with yet" Shannon. Everyone's thoughts appreciated.

Hmmm.

So let me get this straight... you want to chain me to Joe for 4 days?

I like Joe and all, but... 4 days????

Maybe I will get some single passes. ;-)

Who would Paulaner Girl be chained to? Hmmm...now that's a thought.

Now that's a site for all to see.

Well, since my husband seems to be refusing to be chained to me, I guess the position is up for grabs, so to speak. But Joe, forget it....I may have to get an individual pass, since I don't like the thought of being chained to anyone

As before, I am always availble for whips and chains. Fortunately, with this trip, maybe The Designated Walker can use the whips and Paulaner girl can use the chains.

Boy my mind is wandering.....

Grumpy,

You asked... "So should I buy a pass in the states for the day trips?"
...
You can only buy passes in the States, and can get them in many places... AAA, etc. I can provide a good and quick online resource as well.
