Eventually, I (and a bus load of intrepid others) have arrived in Bethlehem, PA - which this year's valiant NAVSA [that's the North American Victorian Studies Association] organisers did their best to get us to in a hassle-free manner, but it's not the world's easiest destination to reach ...). Up at 4.45 to get to LAX to get a flight that got me to PHL at 5 p.m. - and then a two-hour wait for a mini van. By this time there were seven of us, discussing the crazy large amounts of money that our flights had cost us, There were two more actually on the mini-van, which was on the other side of baggage claim, and not at all where people in the airport said that charter transport would pull up. But the van driver didn't know where he was meant to be, either. Then we drove at top speed through the Pennsylvania countryside for an hour and a quarter, and were then deposited at what actually seems to be an attractive old solid brick Historic Hotel. NAVSA starts in the morning!
