In answer to your post in the other thread, the hostel I stay in Liverpool (YHA) is great, Dani and Jilly stayed there too this June, I don't think there are any complaints. It would be even more fun if we shared a room.
I truly wish you can come.

I really want to go. I hope I can renew my green card before August. I need to visit Stefan too before he dies of waiting :P

I'm moving to another state next month probably. When everything is organized at home I'll start planning.

Sounds like a good idea for another Liverpool meet. I'll give it serious thought.

Depending on how much money I make during tax season, I hope to come to Liverpool in late April/early June. I hope to make a trip to Winchester.

Olia!! I'm going!! Lets do meet. It's going to be so much fun. We should share a room, can you imagine our nights? The YHA was too much fun last year, though I didn't stay there much at all. I didn't have nearly enough time in Liverpool last year I'm hoping to make up for it this year.

Well, I hope to have moved back bu August with a bit of luck but three circumstances will , if I haven't moved back to the greatest city on earth, would prevent me from being there in August.


1. Death, of course always a possiblity.

2. That if the cost of a holiday there delayed my moving back by one day, I would forgo Beatle week.

3. I might be in Athens.

Just a thought, but I was wondering if I end up going, would anyone be interested in sharing a room in the Hard Days Night Hotel. Its a bit expensive for my tastes, but would love to stay there at least one night...*


*edit: anyone not Peter

How much it cost?

I'll probably go for a weekend, so it doesn't matter so much the hotel.

hahaha peter....

I don't know, HDN hotel is intriguing, but too expensive I think. I'd rather spend more days in Liverpool than have less days but stay in the hotel. I'll have to think about it :P I think we should start seriously planning any meetups, though, cause if we go during Beatle Week, we might have trouble finding rooms in the hostel.
