PROBLEM: What time does that train leave Trieste? Hmmm . . . maybe you should have taken Italian 101 instead of Intro to Ceramics.
SOLUTION: “I would recommend the Thomas Cook European Timetable for anyone traveling with a rail pass this summer,” counsels George Phelps of Arlington.
“Not only does it provide all the train times, you don’t have to speak a lick of a foreign language. It is always surprising to me how few are familiar with this tome.” The timetable, which is updated monthly, is $27.95 (including postage). Order from: Forsyth Travel Library Inc. Westchester 1, 44 South Broadway, White Plains, N.Y. 10601, call 1-800-367-7984 or order online at www.forsyth.com
