Europe by Train

Wednesday June 19, 2013
If you're planning to travel on the Continent, there's nothing easier or more romantic than seeing Europe by Train.

Rail Europe (check fares) sells train tickets, passes, and packages online for railroads that criss-cross Europe and remains a best bet for Americans heading overseas since:

  • Train fares are generally cheaper when purchased in advance
  • Prices are in U.S. dollars rather than foreign currency
  • Some passes are only available for sale in the United States.
Relaxing Trains vs. Stressful Planes
Instead of devoting time and expense to rush to an airport outside a city, train passengers find their terminals located in the center of town, where they can easily reach hotels and attractions.

Whether you want to take the high-speed Eurostar across the English Channel or visit a variety of countries on a Eurail Global Pass, there's a train ticket that can take you there in comfort.

The best news of all: Rail Europe provides discounts for couples.

Is Mexico Safe?

Monday June 17, 2013
If you've never been to Mexico but have heard about the country's exceptional resorts, 6,000 miles of coastline, and dozens of World Heritage sites -- as well as the real crime and gang violence perpetrated in our south-of-the-border neighbor, you may have wondered, "Is Mexico Safe?"

The answer is yes... and no. The U.S. Department of State issued its latest travel warning in November 2012.

While many northern towns close to the U.S./Mexico border are in the danger zone due to drug-gang activity, other areas -- particularly popular tourism regions in the southern part of the country -- have no travel advisory in effect. In fact, some 35,000 American citizens married in Mexico last year.
