Mike on Rails.

I wrote 'Stanford' the first time ;)

Virgin Trains are great, since you can buy tickets online.

If you've registered. With a UK address. And paid with a UK credit card.

Thus, my thanks to the Makans for logistical assistance for the rail portion of my vacation.

see you soon! (or not, depending on your country of residence)

Gosh, I should really learn to write things directly beneath the previous line, and not create this odd pyramid effect thing. Nice to see they actually arrived before you reached Manchester ;)

mikefranklin says:

yay! where to?
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

Lars Ivar says:

I'm going to london and then Liverpool to see a football match (soccer). that's all that is planned :D
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

–nathan says:

You should visit Manchester.
It's *sooo* much cooler than Liverpool.
You'll like it :)
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

Lars Ivar says:

well, don't know yet. Liverpool is a planned destination and that won't change. Marte is a Liverpool fan and we are planning to see a match there.
I have a planned destination as well, I want to go to a apple store.

Karl Otto says:

an apple store L. not a.
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

mikefranklin says:

well, there are two apple stores in Manchester, and a rather large one in London.

make sure you plan around Nik coming to vermont in march :)
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

Lars Ivar says:

well, nik is going to vermont the day I leave england. So that'll work out just nicely! I hope!

nathan - how about a flickr meetup in liverpool, lots of new things to take pictures of!
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

mikefranklin says:

well, I'm glad you guys can be so definite on your plans :) mine tend to firm up about a month before I travel ;)
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

Karl Otto says:

I haven't even decided to go yet ;) hehe...
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

–nathan says:

Lars Ivar: I don't go to Liverpool unless it's vital. I really dislike that city :(
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

Lars Ivar says:

nathan - well, we could go and photograph the bad things about Liverpool :) that would make it really fun. All the Manchester flickrities go to Liverpool, and the theme is: the worst of Liverpool!
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

–nathan says:

That's actually an ace idea.
Expose Liverpool's worst parts.
We can see 97% of the city that way!

mikefranklin says:

lol. well, with Nathan for translation, and Lars Ivar for protection, I'm sure you'll get through fine :P
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

Karl Otto says:

a guy with a manchester dialect for translation and a clumsy guy at 191 cm for protection? Sounds like a great idea ;)
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

mikefranklin says:

good point.

nathan should carry a megaphone so Lars Ivar can hear him.
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

Karl Otto says:

or they could get iphones :)
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

mikefranklin says:

true. :)
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

Lars Ivar says:

Even if we didn't have iPhone I think that Nathan and I would be a great team for walking around the hoods of Liverpool! :)
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

Karl Otto says:

Lars Ivar: You should think of your back. Bending over to communicate all the time will kill it. :P
Posted 27 months ago. ( permalink )

mikefranklin says:

two iphones ;) they can text each other :P
