Whitby Updates Delayed, Wish I Was There, Help for One Who is There

I'm going to have to type my entire Whitby-up and then divide it into day-by-day journal entries so I don't back-track to add details of previous days. 

Meanwhile I've awakened to a dream Saturday morning where I was noticing all the prices on signs were in pounds.  I was wondering how I got to Britain, but Donald (one of Scottish writer Jennie Kermode's partners) told me, do you really want to ask?  Suddenly I understood that I was in a dream, but should just enjoy being in "Britain" before waking-up. 

Previously in life, I've always thought it would be Japan that I'd want to just move to. 

Meanwhile LJ lolichan is in London and already feeling that she should have been from there and not here.  I've given her a link to http://www.freewebs.com/ukgothclublist/, told her which stop has a British tourist information building nearby, and found BritainUSA.com's Visiting and Residing in the UK section. Anyone have any suggestions of of information I should send her, whether it's to find legitimate reasons to live/work there for longer terms than the summer or just stuff that's too cool for her to skip while there?

Would you know how travel time compares to traveling between Boston and New York? That's about 4 hours or give a bit and a theoretical overnight or day trip. (Something which I plan on doing repeatedly between, it's cheaper than taking a cab to the 'burbs from Boston when a club gets out past public transportation and the GLBT Community Center is in New York.)

Grrr... stupid Livejournal notifications.

Travel time's about the same (an hour or so by air, a couple of hours via train, four hours - not including crossing time - by car.) That's between London and Paris or Brussels, of course - there's been less commercial pressure between Britain and other northern European countries, so things on the sea take a bit longer, though I couldn't tell you precisely how much.
