I think it will be hard work for him!

4 days of presentations on topic's that he loves, 3 big meals a day and all drink paid for.

The hotel is only 4.5 stars too so I'm not sure how good that will be.


Poor bloke...who is he anyway???

A friend of ours is in Sydney at a 'conference' for a week. Business class flights, 5 star hotels & the 'conference' lasts 3 days, then they are flying up to the Whitsundays for the weekend!. Nice work if you can get it!.

I recon that these 'conferences' are just tax fiddles....

Long flight...blah blah blah
Busy conference...blah blah blah
Really hot weather...blah blah blah
Taxi was slow...blah blah blah
Too many half naken women on the beach...blah blah blah
Too much beer...blah blah blah

It is going to be exhausting.
