Giles's Kanreki Weekend - Gosport - 16th/17th September 2017

[ROman]

Continuing to watch the upside down pendulum of the track of Irma, it is now predicted to be pretty far west of Charlotte. I talked with the airline today about flying directly out of Philadelphia, and was advised to stay with what I have. Due to so many flight changes due to the storm. So at any rate, I will be there.

@Madame Buttonfly, has anyone cancelled their hotel reservation? After a string of badly timed events came up, I thought I wouldn't make it, but I've got it all sorted out, aside from the hotel piece. Just hoping someone cancelled (Is that bad?), so I can be closer to the action. I've got my train tickets booked, now I just need a room for the night of the 16th

@UnTucked - this is great news!  No cancellations but the Premier Inn still has rooms available if you want to book direct:

This is your best bet, and we are running a shuttle bus from the hotel to the evening venue (Explosion Museum).

[UnTucked]

I'm booked!

See you guys there!

Hmmmm, the Premier Inn has a sizeable contingent of Germans and untucked?  Might as well put the local constabulary on high alert now…

[Giles]

The local constabulary in Gosport are always on high alert…....

[rocket]

yeah, like when you pick up a branch from the walkway, to make sure nobody might trip over it… 

[rocket]

oh and more BOOM for having @UnTucked 

[UnTucked]

I hope I live up to the hype in person… I'll likely just wear sweatpants, a Hanes t-shirt, and some black Feit sneakers.

[rocket]

there are enough other people I can talk to 

[Giles]

Stick a hoody on, look stoned and shady and you'll be taken for a local….

From the next door town so that they can stay away from the danger

It's been more then 20 years since I was in the UK the last time, do I still need an adapter for the plugs if I want to use / charge elektronik devices from the rest uf the EU?

Oh, and do they have towels in the Spring Garden Guest House or do I have to bring one along (yes, I checked in into a hotel once who did not offer towels in the bathroom, so I ask before I end up with a 3rd IH towel that I actually don't realy need  ).

[Giles]

Yes, you need an adapter:

Never stayed at the Spring Graden, but I'd be surprised if you needed to bring a towel….

I am sure Heather will have a towel for you as well Cole
