I just couldn't resist forwarding this from GAELIC-L[AT SYMBOL GOES HERE]IRLEARN.UCD.IE.

The topic was, well, you can probably guess. I've put translation

of the Scottish Gaelic in 's.

It isn't "why...for" in English as far as I know. "What...for"

is better, isn't it?

As I wrote Natalie Maynor, contact Clipper Navigation, Inc. 1-206-448-5000,

in Seattle for schedule, reservations, prices, etc. I was able to obtain

a non-cancellable reservation, round-trip ticket for $69.00. The Victoria

Clipper takes one to Victoria in 2 1/2 hours. There are other ferries, but

the Clipper is the fastest and most direct. CLHouck

Natalie's plan to fly to Seattle is a good one. The hydrofoil is nice,

I've taken it (about ninety minutes). I don't know what you mean by not-

very-expensive. It was around $80 US the last time I took it. For a few

dollars more, I took a seaplane (about a five-seater) from the harbour in

front of the Empress Hotel, Victoria, to Lake Union in Seattle. What a

terrific trip. You fly low enough to appreciate the view.

My only regret is that the Princess Margaret no longer

sails from Seattle to Vancouver. That was gracious, almost-Victorian,

travel.

Now the cheapest way to go is to take the bus from SeaTac to Vancouver,

then the passenger ferry to Vancouver Island. On the ferry you can buy a bus

ticket that will take you to downtown Victoria. If you know just where

to get off, the bus driver will drop you near the campus and you can take

a very short cab ride to campus housing.

Cheers,

Any of you who are planning on going to Methods VIII better start making

travel arrangements. I thought I was getting an early start by trying to

buy a plane ticket today (since I'm going to be out of town for much of

July). There are *no* seats left from Victoria to Seattle on August 8

except on Air Alaska, which would make the price several hundred dollars

over the estimate I got from Northwest a month or two ago. Same for

August 9. The travel agent said that she's never seen flights from

Canada so full this far in advance -- that something big must be happening

around that time
