Right. So.
Hmm. A while ago, I asked a question. But, as happens, it was swept up and forgotten. So, thought I, what shall I do? And lo, the clouds parted, and the answer was revealed to me in the form of kabbalistic interpretative dance.*
Barbelith has already had a few threads of this sort; Florida, for instance, or Ireland. There are also a multitude of threads on travelling per se. But these seem to be in conversation, and have a distinctly variable half-life. So what if, I was thinking, there was a slightly more permanent Travelling thread that could be utilised for any questions, from the fleeting to the in-depth? Some might prefer starting new threads to ask about destinations, while others may just want quiet advice.
And so, the idea of this thread is that people can drop in and out, asking questions no matter how long or tall about destinations, and hopefully there will be lithers there or who have been there who will be able to proffer advice to calm the anxious and help out.
I hope this sounds like a good idea.
For my tuppence, I would like to ask about New York. A Friend and I are travelling there at the end of September, and while we have flights sorted out, ze and I are starting to get concerned about accommadation.
We're considering hostels or, possibly, very cheap hotels, but are not sure where to start. I'll be researching the travel guides and The Rest Of The Internet, but can anyone offer that most valuable thing, local knowledge?
