This icon brought to you by the letters W, T, and F, and the realisation I have to write 15,000 words of ST:XI by next Monday and I have not only 0 words, but also 0 plot. This icon's ass now kicked by my awesome and fearful power of writing five thou words a day when under the gun, and China and Mr China's promptings over dinner.

Righty-ho then. I'll keep stalling with g/t bzns.

Options for accommodation are pretty much as follows:

Hostels

X-Base

Nomads

I don't think there's much doubt these are the two nicest hostels in the downtown area. They're certainly the newest. I've never stayed at either, but I've scoped both out (China and I trawled the entire town last year) and my impression is that Nomads is quieter. I've also heard anecdotally that it's slightly nicer. You can get a quad or a sixer for about $30 per person per night at both. Both are equally close to the bus stop, and it's a fifteen minute ride to Kilbirnie.

Sethra has already assembled a party, so if you're in that group, please finalise with her at her post back here.

Motels

747

Will do triples for about $40 pp. Might be worth checking out. The advantage would be that you'd be just across the road. Otoh, it's small, so might be full during the hols.

Any questions, please ask.

Final List:

The Wellington Eight get to sleep in their own beds
The X-Base Six (Carol, Mab, Elaine, Pru, Dewey and Jasmine) are in the Sanctuary at Base
The Sydney Four (Al, Meelie, Sin and Libby) are putting us all to shame at the Museum Hotel
The Ls (Linda, Lee and Lyn) are at the Pixie Palace
The Canadiadians (Claire and Kat) are at the 747
Ange is on a couch in Wilton *lol*
Chris is at her Mum's

Well, we get in at 10.30pm if our plane's on time, I have a newly reacquired loathing of taking taxis when I can spend the same amount on a rental car or less (I have the Mad Hookups, remember? :D) and also we're in town ALL of Friday so I was thinking we might do touristy things that aren't in the city centre that day, and then come down another weekend to do touristy things for which we don't need a car. mostly cos i have way less leave left for the next six months than i would like for the purposes of showing off the country to Kat, so. :D /overly embellished explanation!

and I believe Chris is staying with her mum? She might not have checked LJ properly for a couple days or something though.

It is totally all good, yes! (And sorry, I just realised that may've come off defensive; it was actually just meant to be me Over Explaining Like Usual. Can I plead tired and just landed yesterday? *g*)

Ooh, if lunch is going on we're totally up for it, yes. I wasn't expecting anyone to actually be off work on Friday already, so that would be shiny and I would love to spend more time with all you locals who'll be there and I want to wave you guys and Kat at each other a lot and be smug in my good company, so. :D

Good good!

And, ahhh, ooh. Yes, we're definitely down for lunch and that would be super cool fun to do that somewhere out east if it wouldn't put you guys out too much, for sure. \o/ *crosses fingers for weather*

Sorry, I figured it went without saying that I'm staying at my mum's! (No job = no money. /o\)
