    I went through the Czech Republic by train last summer and it was quite 
easy to navigate.  Don't worry about that.  However, going to London or 
Frankfurt will certianly be more expensive despite the lower cost of flight.  
Don't forget that we're not all in Europe, and that the Czech currency is 
no-where near as strong as the Euro or British Pound.  Flights to England and 
Frankfurt are definitely cheaper from North America, but not by anything 
really significant enough to offset the difference in cost of living for a 
week.  Also, I found cz to be very nice.  I think everyone would enjoy it 
there.
