To rail pass or not?
For those interested, the German DB Rail Pass is a good investment if we travel alot by train... and can be used for S-Bahn (but not U-Bahn?)
A "twin" pass for 4 days is $390 in second class (two people together)
A Single pass for 4 days is $260 in second class
Train fares are:
Day Ticket: 10 Euro, 18 Euro twin
Single fare (all zones - U-Bahn, S-Bahn aka the subway): 9.20 euro (each trip)
Sample D Bahn (train) trip: 10.30 Euro from Munich to Tegernsee
So, barring a big trip, I don't think the DB Twin pass is worth it. However, Paulaner girl and I will probably each get Day Tickets (Tageskarte) for the U/S-Bahn and individual tickets for any rail that we do!

I believe that train passes are not necessary this time. We are currently not taking any "real" trains (Paris to Munchen exempted), and not only are the Tageskarte a good deal, but so is the Partner Tageskarte.
Chugger,
Isn't Tegernsee a DB route?
Tegernsee is actually somewhat in between... It's the B.O.B.
