The possible itinerary I came up with for my November trip has an obvious typo returning from Wrocław on the 26th. I have no clue why that didn’t jump out at me right away.
Also, checking for what I had really meant to write, I discovered that EuroCity 54 and 57 will be direct trains between Wrocław and the Berlin Hbf which actually works better.
Given my current mobility issues, I might have to skip the Meeting C++ and code:dive conferences, in which case I might be able to fly in and out of Berlin instead of Frankfurt; and the only hassle will be getting between the airport and the central train station. I can decouple the plane and train legs by spending one night in each direction at a hotel near the Berlin airport, which I did for my Varna trip; so I know the drill.
We’ll see…
Update: 2024-07-12: I think I have my Wrocław trip figured out. I was going to give it a quick mention in another post I’m planning; but I mentioned the trip in a message to an Amtrak-related e-mail list; so I stuck the new itinerary out on my website. Folks who click on the first link above will see the latest and greatest, and some of what I wrote herein might not make any sense.

I’m sorry you’ve got to make these choices.

There’s a direct train connection from BBI airport to Berlin Hauptbahnhof.

wereatheist: I assume that, by “BBI”, you meant Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), not Biju Patnaik Airport in India. 😎
Yeah, I figured that there’d be at least an S-bahn or U-bahn. I’d still plan on spending the night in Berlin to decouple the plane from the train so that I wouldn’t have to worry about a missed connection.
