Awesome! Is that the bus you designed?

Neat!

I made the city stuff. Zack made the photoshopping.



In 1988, Jane and I decided to break from our usual summer routine of vacationing within Lower Columbia and instead take the family on a visit to the United Republic of Illu'a, not far across the ocean from our beloved homeland. All through June and July, we made preparations for the trip. When August came around, it was time to pack our bags.


Please note that the ColumbiAir 747 shown in this and other pictures will never be available for download.

Early in the morning, we all got into the car and headed for Nyhaven International Airport. It wasn't long before we were at our gate, waiting to board a ColumbiAir flight to Strathmore-Palmona in Illu'a.


Only half an hour after taking off, our plane was touching down in Strathmore-Palmona.


We waited patiently (well, maybe not the kids) as the plane approached the gate.


Once we were off the plane and had collected our bags, we took stock of our transportation options for getting to central Strathmore. The regional light rail system, SPARTA, didn't yet extend all the way to the airport, but there was free shuttle service to the nearest station.


It didn't take long for the shuttle to reach that station. Once inside, we got our SPARTA tickets and headed up to the platform.


After a few minutes, we boarded the next train, which took us through the suburbs of Palmona and Strathmore...


...all the way to midtown Strathmore. Conveniently, our hotel was right next to Strathmore Victory Station.


We stopped by the hotel briefly to check in, and then walked a few blocks over to downtown Strathmore. There were so manu nice stores there, we spent most of the afternoon shopping.


After having dinner at a downtown restaurant, we headed over to the Charles J. Mudkipz Hall. They were showing a play that looked interesting, so I bought tickets for all of us for that evening. It was a very entertaining play, I must say.


Once the play was over, we took the subway to the University District, which was full of eclectic shops and a growing number of coffeehouses. While we were there, we visited the local shopping mall, the Dirka Dirka Square.


After a while, we started feeling tired, so we took the subway back to the hotel. It had been a fun first day.

Great update, nice to see you're combining your CJs.

Woah! Great idea!

awesome! great idea, I want to do this now!

really good (did you do the colombiair plane yourself?)

Aleks: It wasn't stated here, but the plane will never be released anywhere ever. There is also no chance of making any other planes.
Everyone else: Thanks!

The next Nyhaven update is coming soon. For now, here's some teasers of the next update.

Palmona Terminal in Downtown Palmona. The train platforms are underground, and the above ground platforms have been converted into a shopping center.


North Strathmore-Francis International Airport. Although it's officially a relief airport for Strathmore-Palmona International Airport, it has not seen regular passenger service since 2007. Charter airline Q International has its main hub here.
