Kodes100 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 You know Kodes, I love you, really I do, but I sometimes wonder what planet you're on :roftl: Or what planet I'm on! I am from Mars & you are from Venus - everyone knows that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAK1 Posted April 17, 2010 Author Share Posted April 17, 2010 I did look up trains to get to Milan but...it's not likely. *siiiiiiiiigh* EDIT: There IS the option of coaches...it's gonna take me 24 hours to get to Milan and 25 to get back...from London. But...I might still be able to fly. I'll see what they say. Might be worth looking at though: http://www.eurolines.com/ Thanks for that Jazzy, just checked for Dammy, and I can do that! Looks like Dammy is ON! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monie Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Airline people said possibly no flights for weeks or months, depending on the volcano. If you go to Amsterdam, I would suggest a ferry or train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Thanks for that Jazzy, just checked for Dammy, and I can do that! Looks like Dammy is ON! Oh really? *high fives* Excellent! I think I'm definitely going to Milan. I'll wait and see what the announcement is about Tuesday's flights and then if it's not happening, I'll book my coach THERE, add some nights on at my hotel and then see if I can fly back on Saturday or something. Then if that's STILL not happening, I'll book my return coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then if that's STILL not happening, I'll book my return coach. I may look like a bit of a hobo though, getting in at 7.30 on the morning of the gig, need somewhere to dump my bag, but it's WAY cheaper than flying, wish I'd thought of it before! Why don't you just book the coach for the whole journey? Probably easier in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you just book the coach for the whole journey? Probably easier in the long run. Because it takes 24 hours to get there and I rather only do that once, if necessary.

I'm only hoping to fly back next weekend, when it may have sorted out by then, but if not, I can get a coach again. GAH. I don't want to miss this, at all.

Sarina Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 this volcano created a situation that is beyond madness...and they say it can last for months...are we kidding? there is the tour!!DAMN! I suggest to everyone that wants to come to MIlan to book trains as soon as possible (on TV news they said all of them are almost full) or try to book coach. I know that Eurolines travels across Europe with coach. Have a look here http://www.eurolines.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest to everyone that wants to come to MIlan to book trains as soon as possible (on TV news they said all of them are almost full) or try to book pullman. I know that Eurolines travels across Europe with pullman. Have a look here http://www.eurolines.com/ The last time this Volcano erupted was 200 years ago and it lasted 2 years! And to non-Italians, a pullman is a coach *showing off tiny amount of Italian Knowledge that I have* LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellody Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 hmm, haven't decided yet on what way to travel to udine, but now it points more towards train or car instead of flight... gotta book prague bus soon then - but all the other travels are already sorted.

mellody Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 That's the spirit, go you! Nothing can stop you! well, i try to avoid flying when i don't see any huge advantage in it, as i don't like it very much. so i'm going to paris+amsterdam by train anyway instead of plane. this really comes in handy in this situation.
