[QUOTE]Originally posted by KacyB: [QB] Thankyou all for your lovely comments. TwinStarRocket - that is lovely, and actually quite where we are now. The Green trains are the slow ones are the green trains that take us to London. The Red ones (though he calls these Pendolinos now) are the fast ones. The blue ones are the sleepers in the UK (we only have two!!) and the white ones are the EUrostars that take us to Europe. I do feel they will remember a lot (enough to make it worthwhile) but I think they will (like your daughter) appreciate something a lot more... spending TIME together, being a family, enjoying the journey... not just racing to get to the 'destination'. These are all amazing things about train journeys :-)(and I would be first to admit that, pre-Harry, I never saw that!!) Henry - I am glad I helped a little (if utterly unintetionally!) I'm afraid I know nothing of US politics (other than you just had an election and I know which one looks better on the front of a newspaper!) so shall not enter an opinion on the matter. I have, however, contacted the people you recommended to me regarding organisation and they are on the case :-) George - I am absolutely sure I wish to take sleepers. First I know the children sleep well (we've taken many sleepers here in the UK / Europe, in little beds) so I feel more confident about that. Secondly, I feel more secure this way (though I have read that not all sleeper cabins have locks - is this correct?) And thirdly (and perhaps most importantly... from the view of my sanity and the sanity of the other train users... there will be times when I need to remove my children from the general public!! I am not naive enough to believe we're going to spend 6 weeks, give or take, on the move without a single 'incident'!!! so best we ensure we have some privacy when required.) I will send you a private message now with my e-mail address. I would be very interested in information on the area. Thanks again for all your help. It is much appreciated and, I must admit, I'm rather impressed that no one has said 'You're bloody stupid to even be considering this' :-) [/QB][/QUOTE]
