I'm flying into Frankfurt, then planning to spend 10 days in France before returning to Germany to meet my boyfriend. I'm told the easiest method of transport is the trains. I have found that Eurail passes for 10 days are about $700. I found a website "www.eurorailways.com" selling what appears to be the same thing for $

Sorry, for about $500. Is this the same thing?

Check your itinerary on www.railsaver.com - - and be sure to mark the box &quot;only if it saves me money&quot;. Unless you are a traveling salesman, moving from town to town every day, you may find that a <i><b>rail pass</b></i> (of any kind) is not a bargain purchase. Ordinary (point-to-point) tickets are cheaper than most people realize (though not always in Germany).

Best wishes,

If you are old enough to do so, look into renting a car. You can find a much better rate for a 10 day rental than $700.00
