Travel plans

Much progress was made today in planning 2005 trips: Minicon, Wiscon, visits to relatives, and Worldcon in Glasgow. Speaking of which, is there a UK equivalent of MapQuest? We're thinking of going to the Cropredy festival afterwards and are trying to research accomodations in the vicinity. Any suggestions (for maps or accomodations) welcome!

Vivian told me last night youall were coming out for Worldcon. Assuming visa issues are sorted out by then, I'll see you there. Daniel Spector says there's a fantastic Mexican restaurant in Cropredy, which I hope to try when I'm speaking at Oxford in July if not before. What's going on in Cropredy that you will be going to? I think this is what you're looking for:

Oh, and come stay with me in York. If I haven't been deported before then.

There's no real accommodation in Cropredy itself, so those who don't camp or stay on boats get lodging in Banbury and come in by bus (the Festival supplies the bus). At least that's how it was when I was there.

The Fairport website has a link to the Banbury town accommodations info site here.

There are also maps of the area on the Fairport site.

I believe that Mike Ford has been to Cropredy and will be at Minicon, so you can ask him when you see him there.

Would you like to put in a shift in the Green Room? I'm running it, and Sharon Kahn is doing Programming, so it should be fun.
