Wendy Perrin is Back!

My posts back in August and September declared Conde Nast Traveler writer Wendy Perrin to be a "dink'. Well, she's back with another "Travel Advice" column that reaffirms how deserved she is of this label.

Her "Best Travel Secrets" column in the September issue (I'm a little behind in my reading) advised, "If you want to make an overnight train trip (in Europe) as pleasant as possible, rent all four berths in the compartment so that you have it all to yourself.

A travel agent in New Hyde Park, NY did some fare research on three routes... each had similar results. EG: Each berth on a Paris to Berlin train was $123 for a total of $492 for the whole 4-berth compartment that had no in-compartment facilities. A single-berth compartment in first class was $417 and included a wash basin.


Great advise, isn't it?
If you want a few laughs, go back and read those earlier posts.

Cheers,

Dick
