After careful consideration (read: far too much Chinese food) we've tentatively decided on a date.

How's the weekend of September 30-31?

I know that's earlier than we'd originally touted, but it's pretty much the only time that suits everybody, or as close to everybody as we're likely to get. It has the added bonus of being in the school holidays, which means my entire time can be yours and I won't have anything to worry about bar decorating the house, making up campbeds, cooking, and organising activities... [/shades of last year's exhaustion, and the exam marking I had to squeeze in too]

I'd also be keen to make it a three day, or two and a half day, weekend, and include Friday or Monday too.

So what do you think???

Varsity holidays for erilyn; not U2 for shihadchick and engenda; not winchestercon for sinden and i_naiad... Sorry we couldn't do Melbourne Cup damned_colonial... NZ holidays NZers...

Sounds fantastic to me! And, naturally, anything we can do on this end (or even, do whenever we Get There) just sing out.

Very much looking forward to meeting you. :-D

Ooooh. Ooooh. And airfares look doable too.

I shall have to do some plotting and planning, but I'm a definite maybe :)

That way I can give you the offspring I owe in person!!!

In fact I'll happily pick you and any other Aussies up from the airport at the unbelievably awful time the plane gets in and transport you to Stately Luthor Manor.

...hey, that's...actually the one and only weekend that would definitely work for me. And there are still cheap flights for it. It'd be a probably-maybe for me, unless the flights vanish. (!!!omgyay! I had mentally counted myself out due to stupid scheduling this semester!)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Have you found anything cheaper (or even close to) $450 with Air NZ (apart from the whole getting into Wellington at 11:30 pm *g*)?

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!1!

[vaudevilles.livejournal.com]

You should totally come and we can pimp my altera-girlf Starbuck BSG!

I'd have to check when I get home, but I can't think of anything that would clash for me. *tentative flail*

*tentative Yayayaye!*

[iibnf.livejournal.com]

I'm interested.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Wowee!

Cool.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Damn.

Oh well, we'll get you *one* of these days. Or I'll just come back to Aussie...

[china_shop]

Poot.

Next time.

[engenda.livejournal.com]

Am checking flights as I type.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Yeehah!

[blademistress.livejournal.com]

Date shouldn't be a problem, but stickmarionette and I are working out air fairs right now. We're contemplating walking ;)

[china_shop]

Aw. Why are domestic airfares so bloody expensive?

Have you had any luck?

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

Is a long weekend in NSW :-) but also Taminick Military Encampment :-(
I'd have to request leave of absence from the regiment (after I skived off last year to see 'A Man for All Seasons' *eg*).

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

Oh no. Bummer. So is that possible?

[not-nele.livejournal.com]

Hm thats a bit earlier than I thought. Am checking flights now. It really just depends on my money situation. Dammit I should really have savings. I might be able to eek through, living on bread and water.

...It looks pretty doable. Maybe.

*crosses fingers for you*

I've checked with the spouse about his work commitments and I'm hopeful I can make it.

[china_shop]

Yay! (I downloaded that TS vid you showed us last time just yesterday! :)

Meelie and I have been deliberating, and we have a potential plan! The plan is, we visit the south island for a week or so first, and then show up on your doorstep on the friday afternoon, and leave on monday. We think.

[arysteia.livejournal.com]

That sounds like an awesome plan. I wholeheartedly endorse it!!!
