Was unable to reply to the "Need quick response thread!" but was going to start a new one anyhow for the second leg.
Thatnks for all the aforementioned advice! I didn't realize there was that much time difference between the train and flying. I guess the train up to York is truly a speedier train then one to Manchester.
Okay anyhow, please don't feel like the majority of you need to come down to Heathrow all with your little "Welcome "home" LYY" signs. That would just embarrass me!
I am planning on renting a car somewhere in Manchester, either at the train station or airport. Any suggestions (now I know ya all want to be helpful but please, let's not make it like the puppy naming thread where I gave 2 suggested names and you guys supplied ~50 more to choose from . . . poor little thing is now merely known as X) . . . okay where was I . . . ah yes accomodations.
(Sorry flashy, and please stop begging, but it just wouldn't be right for me to crash at your place
)
Can I get 3 - 5 ideas on places to stay between Accy and Manchester. I've got AAA so I'll be looking for acommodations, and car rental, that take them. I hope to spend some time doing family research in Ashton-Under-Lyne and Cheshire. Also will have to get up to Blackpool for some of the genuine Rock stuff that Cherokee refuses to deliver on Meet night!
Thanks in advance!
Brian
