Or better yet come to the San Diego meet this weekend. It can't cost more then $1200 for a round trip ticket.

If someone springs for my plane ticket, I'm game to go to Sydney.

I'd love to go to that country for sure.

[Dinner]

I want to hear abut ths ultra secret Australian beer that actually tastes good. Apparently they don't export it so I'm going to have to rely on second accounts from you folks.

[Dis]

actually I have considered going to Australia next year- this year is out of the question.

I'll need a lot of alcohol to get through such a long plane ride though . If i wasn't working I'd take a ship to Australia. . Damn the U.S. navy for sending me east coast in which I didn't get to go there .

I'm still not sure what I'll do for vacatio next year. I really can't say I don't have the money. I'm loaded. But I do want to pay off my house first.

I take it Sydney is the place to go. But I want to do outdoors stuff. The damn country is so damn big, I don't know if that is feasible from Sydney. I'd have to fly to another Australian city.

[Dinner]

My Dad's cousin lives in Australia so I do have some second cousins there. If I ever went to Australia I'd totally try to free load off of them.

Australia, hmmmm. Well, I went to England last time, so maybe Australia should be my next trip...

Yes, outdoors stuff is feasible from Sydney. You are a relatively short train ride from the Blue Mountains, for instance.

And as someone who has been around Australia, I can say hand on heart that Sydney is not 'the place' to go.

It has the Opera House, and the Harbour Bridge (copy of one in Newcastle upon Tyne, Great Britain), and the harbour itself, but it rests on its laurels. Melbourne is a much more laid back European style city, home of Australia's first national parliament, close to the countryside, with tremendous cuisine ranging from Armenian to Vietnamese (and all points in between), vineyards on its doorstep, the Great Ocean Road, temperate rainforests nearby, Victoria's Alpine country, Ninety Mile Beach, Mornington Peninsula, Wilson's Promontory, did I mention the penguins? And the migrating whales? The dolphins? The lyre birds?

And yes, Oerdin there are quality Australian beers. Why bother exporting them? It would only be pearls before swine.

Oerdin: Some aussie beer actually tastes good. If you ever find yourself around Melbourne remember to try Old Tooheys
yummy

That place which is not registered by your particular governmental department.

I don't know, I was hoping that he'd bring me a Tetley's.
