Good luck with the lilac. The British rail network is pretty good really but can be expensive, so any special passes you can get sounds the way to go.<br /><br />Interesting to see Mont Saint-Michel mentioned- it has a sister equivalent in Cornwall, SW England, called, (or course!)

I bought the camera connection for mine and can download my pics - make sure your camera is compatible. My Sony DSLR is not but my Cybershot is. I also purchased the iPhoto app which I've been using to edit my photos - I like it. The app I am using to post to my Blog is Blogsy and that is NOT intuitive though it seems reliable once you learn it. So far, I've done a post on each blog with it, and what you see on the app is what publishes. The Blogger app is useless (but free). Good Luck! (You will also want to download the Zite app and Evernote - both of which I love!Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984171407726520584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023888201187440830.post-79585795890022567162012-04-21T14:12:18.485-07:002012-04-21T14:12:18.485-07:00I always enjoy your posts Sandi, and know that you...I always enjoy your posts Sandi, and know that you'll have a fabulous time when you travel.

I also had a long-distance relationship with a guy who lived in Seattle so I traveled that I-5 route between Portland and Seattle a great deal for a few years. I used to stop at the lilac gardens for a breather and to stretch my legs. Lilacs are my favorite!kariohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150537989886423212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023888201187440830.post-92135319119508434952012-04-19T10:23:45.788-07:002012-04-19T10:23:45.788-07:00I don't think a railpass is a bad idea.

That was in 1969. Nowadays, newspaper articles discuss how gypsies board the train, steal valuables from passengers, and jump off the train. Europe isn't as safe as it was in 1969. But, maybe I am wrong.

I'm...I'm so excited for you and your trip. I'm sorry that you might not make it to the Isle of Jersey, but it does seem it would be costly in time and money.<br /><br />I bought a BritRail pass when I went to England and Wales in 1994. I thought it was the best investment ever. I'm almost certain I traveled from London to Cambridge on BritRail. I can't remember for sure now. Cambridge was my first stop after landing in London. I loved Cambridge!<br /><br />I do remember going to Eli and then getting on BritRail to go Wales. I had a very exciting trip to Wales. I will have to write about it. Let's just say BritRail took very good care of me. <br /><br />I spent several days in Aberystwyth, Wales, then I traveled all the way to Canarvon, Wales by BritRail. From there, I then went down to Cardiff, Wales for a couple of days, and then back to London. I used BritRail to go to Windsor and several other places while I was in London. I did all of this by myself. It was a fantastic trip. I have heard some people sleep on the train to save on rooms. Since I would fall asleep sometimes during the trip by rail, I always set the alarm on my watch to wake me up so I wouldn't miss my stops or transfers.Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8023888201187440830.post-83823185742585566662012-04-16T10:17:03.719-07:002012-04-16T10:17:03.719-07:00I think you will have a wonderful trip.

Mine bloomed in March when we had the "pre" summer temps. Unfortunately so did my lilacs and then they got burned with the many freezes we've had since then. Dang, no wonderful smelling lilacs this year! I hope you can find your new lilac next week..don't forget!
