What you left out
When traveling in Europe I always prefer the trains over planes. In most cases it saves me a whole lot of wasted time, energy and cost of commute to and fro the airport.
What with the current anti-terrorist check-in requirements of 3 hours before flight time, having to pay $ 60/- for checked in luggage, not being able to carry with me half the stuff I need for my trip. I can go on and on.
