Travel correspondents promise reports

Third Space Night just won't be the same without them, but we'll muddle along somehow.

Loyal patrons Andrew and Chandra Schanie won't be slacking off over the next few weeks as they take the grand tour of the EU. A Wednesday liftoff takes them to the Emerald Isle where they will begin a trek across Europe that will include stops in London, Amsterdam, Berlin, Vienna, and Venice.

This active couple has committed to giving us a travelogue-style report after their return, but in the interim, they'll also be sending us reports from cyber-cafes all along their route. Accompanying them on their visits to the lands of Joyce and Wilde, Chaucer and Shakespeare, Baudelaire and Voltaire, Nietsche and Marx will be one copy of that icon of American literature, Tim Dorsey.

Yes, that's right. We're exporting the inimitable Serge Storms to the benighted lands across the sea. Follow this thread for ongoing reports from the Schanie odyssey.

We will make our way from Limerick Ireland by train to Dublin

We will be spending Thursday to Saturday in Dublin



Saturday January 22 we take a Ferry across in the morning and arrive in Holyhead England/ Wales area. We will be making our way to London most likely, but I don’t think we will stay the night. We are taking a ferry from Harwich to Rotterdam Netherlands (which is Holland outside of Amsterdam) we will spend a day or 2 in Amsterdam then off to Berlin. We should be in Berlin Midweek. We then take a train to make our way down to Italy stop in Innsbruck Austria for a half day. Then make our way down to Rome the end of the trip will be.

Hi all, Sorry about the bulk email's, but I don't have enough time to email everyone individually. We are doing well and arrived to Amsterdam this morining. We are 6 hours ahead, so it is only 6 am there and noon here. We had a rough day yesterday. Don't take London trains in the winter. London was awful and expensive. I hated it. It was just another rude, noisy, polluted city. I had expected this, buy well if I tell you everything in email we won't have anything to talk about when we get home. More to come later. Lots of love to the ones I love and best wishes to the ones I like in this email.
