Turns out I couldn't manage all of it. The one event I'm skipping is #gemobEDI.

@edward I am going to #geomobEDI, via overnight train, and then back to London for #geomobLON

@freyfogle Sounds great! I really want to try the Caledonian Sleeper.

@edward sounds perfectly doable to me! as long as you don't do the same amount of travel the other 11 months of the year :)

@edward yes, 4 short haul flights (legs) per year is an individual carbon budget's worth, 11ty did their conference online, it was good

@adamarmfield You're right. I should fly less.
Show threadadamarmfieldOct 3, 2024
@edward you can travel on a cargo ship if you like, about 200 euros a day.

@edward there's a nice ferry from rotterdam to hull...
Show threadEdward BettsOct 3, 2024
@adamarmfield To get from Berlin to Edinburgh instead of flying I could do the Berlin to Brussels sleeper, Eurostar, and then the Caledonian sleeper. That would be fun.
Show threadadamarmfieldOct 3, 2024
@edward if you like, as i say there is a rotterdam to hull ferry, if it's european sleeper from berlin to brussels I think it goes to NL, otherwise it'd be 2-3 hours by train from brussels to rotterdam (well, hoek van holland), then the ferry is overnight, there is a daytime one with a half price cabin but might as well sleep on board

@edward a canadian I know has just come over on the queen mary 2 from new york, takes about a week then they offer an extension cruise round the UK, only a few stops up to scotland and liverpool then over to cork as well

@adamarmfield @edward I looked into the Queen Mary but they do all of this formal stuff and advise formal dress. Maybe there's a "jeans and sweater" option?

@kcoyle @edward I'm not sure, might only be certain dinners, it's not like they can kick you off en route really

@edward Think you can squeeze in some flights on Jan 1 - 10.
