[Wikimedia-l] Train Wikiexpedition in Poland

[Matthew Roth]

I'm also replying to say how awesome this initiative is! I only wish I had
the flexibility and disposable income to come over and participate :)

Have a great time with it and kudos for organizing such a cool trip. I need
to see if Amtrak would be nearly as accommodating over here in the U.S.!
