meanfreepathI am also contemplating going to the English-Scottish Ball next weekend at Swat. The catch is that I have to come back on the 12:13 overnight train from Philly to be back Sunday morning. So far I have not yet been able to find transport from Swat to Philly to make that train; the last R3 from Swat leaves at 10:31, halfway through the second half of the program. It increasingly seems that if I go, it will be by 2 legs of Chinatown busses. The window of opportunity for a $44 Saturday morning plane ticket on Southwest via Manchester is now gone, although it is a good thing to know about for the future.
Of course, there is a good argument that being away from Cambridge for a day if I shell out $108 to fly, or a day and a half if I take buses, is stupid and a waste of time that would be better spent on work. While it is possible to get to Swat by bus leaving around 6:30 on Saturday, I wouldn't arrive until late afternoon and the hassle hardly would seem worth it, especially if I then had to also leave early to catch the overnight train.
