So in between trying to work out how the hell you access the shared Institute drive from this computer I've been fantasy travel planning. And I am now totally in love with a hotel I found in (of all places) Minneapolis, Minnesota. Now I just have one question that is not answerable from googlemaps (at least not that I can see) - is it possible to walk to Mall of America? I know, I know - it's probably not high on anyone's tourist list. But it is Miss Alli's old stomping ground and this hotel is very close to it. I'm just wondering if I'm going to have to hire a car to travel all of 1.8 miles, or whether I could just walk it. Because... I'd probably rather walk it. Even with what looks like a 12 lane highway in the way. Surely there'd be a crossing, right?

(No, the Mall of America isn't actually the reason for this fantasy travel planning. That would be something completely different. It just so happened that Minneapolis-St Paul was the closest airline, and the cheapest flight got in at 10.55pm which necessitated finding a hotel... and then I found one just down the road from Mall of America. Which is still making me giggle.)

And from googlemaps... no it is completely not possible to walk there. Amazing.
