I'm also taking the plunge and going on my own to Sydney so I'm up for any beers when I get out there (probably Aug if all goes to plan)

Cheers


I'm headed for Sydney myself providing all goes to plan. Think there are one or two of us planning on coldie at the Coogee Bay Hotel sometime!

June the 8th might be tricky for me but I'll try and make it.

I finished my short story - hand it in tomorrow. Get life back on Saturday. The other little thing I had going on has not happened yet - as the Doctor is away for two weeks - so looking like the end of May now. However it still looks very positive and if all goes to plan I might even be there before you!

Going to get the lists posted on here up to tell me what to do next - no point reinventing the wheel

Emirates apparently do double allowance for emigration I have read, but couldn't find it on website. Need to ring them. Would that do you??
did you manage to find the bags I got mine from my local postoffice (the return ones are already prepaid upto 500grams) nearly fainted at the cost though just short of £10 to post to london and back

Thanks Neil
