A coupla quick updates

Feb 19, 2015 14:15

Just updated my Con Adventure Masterpost with details about flight and hotel bookings. Having just bought my Perth-LA return ticket, this trip is finally starting to seem real, rather than just the hazy dream it's been for the last couple of years ( Read more... )

Heading to Perth in April myself! I hope to see you there!

Definitely have to meet up. I'll be there both days so should be plenty of time.

Just looked at your profile and are you really coming all the way from Ireland??? If so, that is one long-haul trip.

Yes, I know, crazy, right!?

I am planning to stay for 8 days though and do some sightseeing around Perth too when the con is over. Meeting up with an American friend who is staying for that length of time too.

Where are you staying in Perth?

Hey, about as crazy as me flying across the world to attend a couple of cons. Lets be crazy together!!!!!

Awesome. If you want any tips about things to do or see, let me know. And the weather should be perfect. Not too hot or cold.

Ummm, at my home. LOL I live in Perth so will only have to catch the train into the city, about 20 mins ride. Not having to pay for flights or hotels mean I can spend up big to see Ben and Michael.

Oh I didn't realize you were from Perth itself! :D

We have already booked a day trip to Rottnest Island and a tour to the Valley of the Giants and the hop on/hop off tickets for the city tour bus. Anywhere you think it should be a must? I wanted to go and see the Pinnacles area where Billy Connolly danced naked but I believe it is nicer in other seasons of the year...

We will be staying at the Rydges downtown.

We went crazy too and went for full hog for the tickets for the con - we just felt that since we are both coming from half world away, we might as well! :-)

Yep, a born and bred Perthie ( ... )

Thanks for the reccies! :-)

I am really looking forward to the trip. Although I am lucky to have travelled a lot, this is my first time in Australia!

By the way, my name is Laura. Can't wait to meet up! :-)

Ya welcome, mate. You can also do boat cruises around Mandurah, there's a massive big estuary with lots of canals and really amazing houses and you might be lucky to spot dolphins too.

Well, you picked the most beautiful city with the best weather, though I may be just a little biased.

I'm Peta. :-) When you do you arrive?? Maybe we can catch up before the con. I work nights so have lots of free time during the day.

I will be arriving on Thursday the 9th of April (in the evening), have the Friday to distinguish my ass from my elbow as we say over here ;-) after the long flight and the millions of time zone changes, then the con on Sat and Sun and then I am staying until the following Friday the 17th.

Just in case it makes it easier to stay in touch when I am on my way (I have a tablet but it's a pain to log on to LJ from it), my email is vinegardog@gmail.com :-)
