Also, the first class tickets for the train were totally worth it.
Welcome, glad you could join us! And you have a pot of tea already. Hope settling in goes ok when you arrive.

That’s some Grade A dad’ing Squid! Happy for ya, proud of ya. Best of luck over there!
Thanks!
Good luck, mate.
Welcome to the UK. And if anyone asks, you ain't seen me, right?
Oh wow congratulations. All the best from us left behind! I can't imagine the undertaking to get out and give everyone who has ever emigrated props.
I wish I could take everyone with me!
I just took a look at your post history to see the origin story to this, seems to me you ARE Lemmy?! Every other post I saw seems to be from you...

Glad you got out.
Welcome to the UK :)
Ugh ... Transatlantic train?
it's a special underwater train especially made for Squids (including Flying ones) and their families 😋
P.S. : Joke aside the title means to say that this is the 12th hour of a 15-hour trip. So this picture is inside a period of 1 hour at the end of the trip.
Best wishes to you Flying Squid 😌
Congrats on getting out of here! Good luck on the future!
I hope y'all can relax soon. I don't regret having left the US years ago; the only hard parts are not being able to see some family much (though Skype and the like help) and certain foods that just don't exist here (less of an issue in the UK than Japan), but copycat recipes can get things close.
I remember seeing the post about you looking for a job there. Congrats on making it out!
Good luck!
I wish you all the best. Be sure to stock up on tea when you're settled.
I wish you the best here across the pond. ;)
The UK just gained several precious people. Good for them!
Lemmy will be okay if you don't keep posting as much as you've been. Do whatever you need to do to set your family up there.
Welcome to Europe! I moved to Germany almost 20 years ago, and holy batflaps am I happy about that choice.

I seriously think airlines are a sham after riding a bunch of trains.
On a train:
Seats are massive. First class wasn't like 5x the ticket price. No charge for luggage. No wack-ass TSA giving you conflicting rules about if you should keep your shoes/belts on or not. You want to rent a room so you can sleep, do it. You wanna jog from one end to another? Sure.
Unfortunately in America, trains don't fully connect to most places. And because of the price, attracts some real skeevos who leave the place a mess. In most other countries, my god. It's beautiful.
I don't disagree but it's really hard to find a train from New York to London.

Someone once said that emigrating is trading one set of societal issues for another. If you’re happy with the trade, awesome.
Good luck in your new homeland.
