Hurrah! It will be grand to meet you at last, Dani -- and to see you again, Janie, and meet your sister.

A general question, because I've forgotten since last year: Is this the thread where we are meant to post requests for help with such things such as the loan of a sleeping bag, rides from and to bus stations or airports and the like, or will/should another thread be started for that purpose?

(I know it's early days; just wondering.)

Thanks,
Claire
