Dave is also a fabulous door stop - just try closing a train door when  
he's wedged himself in the opening :)  I bet he would prefer to  
actually have his luggage this time, though.

Kumar, by the way, is a horrible sherpa.

I think I prefer the train, as long as we go first class (which ups  
the expense some, but as Magnus says, we're not going cattle-car  
again).  We so rarely need a car, and with the weather that time of  
year having a car can be a pain.  However, despite Magnus being my  
Linux wife, he is The Man, so if he feels like he wants to deal with a  
car, I'll play good little woman and go along.

It would be great if we could coordinate and hop from Munich to  
Kitzbuhel together, though.

Cheers,
