Advice on getting to, b/w, and from Germany, Rome, Venice (in that order)
Because of the schedules of my co-travelers, I've got a strange itinerary on my hands and am wondering what people would suggest.
In early September, I'm going to Muenster, Kassel, Rome, and Venice -- in that order. I'm coming from Seattle.
Without completely breaking the bank, what do you think is the fastest way to travel between destinations?
And where should I fly in and out of?
If I do intra-European flight, is it cheaper to try to do everything all on one airline, or should I book the flight from the US in and out first, and then book any other air travel in Europe separately?

Transatlantic flight to Düsseldorf, Hamburg or Frankfurt.
Train to Münster (there is also a small airport in Münster; if you get a flight right there for a reasonable price, take it, but donīt sweat it if none is available)
Train to Kassel
Flight out of Cologne, Hannover, Frankfurt or Düsseldorf to Rome
Train to Venice
Transatlantic flight out of Venice or Milan

Train travel in Italy: www.trenitalia.com
Flights from Germany: www.ebookers.de, www.flugboerse.de

As far as I'm aware, there are no nonstops from Seattle to Germany. However, LTU has nonstops from Vancouver to Dusseldorf, and to Munich, www.ltu.de, and Lufthansa flies nonstop from Vancouver to Frankfurt. So when you're figuring out all your permutations and combinations, Vancouver might work out better than Seattle.

We just did a trip to Frankfurt to Rome to Venice.
I was extremely pleased with the overnight train we took from Frankfurt to Milan, then took another train to Rome early in the morning.
Here is the sight for booking. I know it was cheaper than a flight, even moreso when you skip a night in a hotel because you're on the train.
