That sounds like so much fun (apart from the lost luggage and the public transport issues). It really sounds as if things were much better organised than any previous Worldcon (especially the panels not being immediately back-to-back). I'm so glad you had a good time!

Sad to hear it won't be in Europe again for so long. My husband and I were meant to go to Glasgow, but then one of his friends decided to get married in Finland at the same time, so we had to cancel our plans.
