Does nobody want to explore further than their front door!

Since being here we have travelled around meeting people and visiting places.

I may be stuck down to damnation, but there is more to Melbourne/Victoria than the south east - And yes, we've been there as well !

Hi,

Yes I know it's totally crazy just coming for a week, the jet lag fills me with dread but hey ho it has to be done this way for various reasons, one being limited vacation time left. We arrive 4.30am Saturday morning, but yes we will be up for meeting you all on this day, so just let us know when and where, Williamstown sounds fab. Obviously if I fall asleep and start dribbling I apologise now.

Yes we are moving to Mel, heard nothing but great things about it. Fingers crossed we have accepted an offer on our house today so should be there mid September all being well.

For a bit history for those that dont know us its just me and my hubby, no kids, well not yet. We are in our early 30's and like long walks on the beach and a few cold beers (lol)

Hope to see you soon
Cheers
Janine

Hope you can make it - Williamstown is fab :)

The last Melbourne meet was in the east of the CBD, so it would be nice to have one either here on the west side, or north, or central.......

Caroline what makes you think that we have not explored the state? We have been here nearly two years and we have seen quite a bit thankyou.

The fact is we are busy at the weekends and we pop along to meets when they are close to us because we can just nip along and catch up with some friends and not lose a whole day.

Don't get uppity :rolleyes:

We, like many people here are also busy people - but would like to meet others.

It just seems as though eveyone is expected to go over to the east side for these meets - and it would just be a little fairer if they were held elsewhere in rotation. Alternatively, the CBD area would be ideal for more people?

You may have also noticed that I was not replying to your post.

I replied to Bordys' but DID NOT mean to cause offence to him - he travels a long way to meets

Caroline YOU are the one who is getting uppity. You point a finger at everyone saying we are not adventurous because no one appears to want to go to Williamstown. You know NOTHING about us but your prepared to judge us :rolleyes:

I have no problem with Williamstown whatsoever. I just won't be attending the meet there for the reason I stated.

That just dosn't make sense. You say you were replying to Bordy and saying that no one is prepared to travel then you say he travels :rolleyes:

I don't want to argue with you.

No, I don't know anything about you, and if you say that you are too busy to go far, then fair enough.

All I meant was that it would be nice if meet locations could be rotated, to cover all areas where people live.

RE: I clicked on Bordys' post instead of 'new reply' - I was not answering his post directly, but rather making a general comment.

Hello,

So, moving on swiftly - the big question is, are you guys going to meet up on 21st May (Saturday). Would love to meet all your crazy people and put some faces to the comments, would especially love to meet some girlies, and Bordy of course! Jon and i are staying in the CBD area, however are willing to travel if needed. Just let us know where and when.

Oh and on another note we have just sold our house! Yippeee, cant belive its actually going to happen. And how funny is this the family buying it are actually emigrating back from Oz.

Look out Mel here we come
