Marcus, Count me in, I would definitely be interested in this if you get a

group to make the trip! Maybe we can charter a jplane! And what about UPS

and those flights they make on Saturday/Sunday? Marie

[Guest guest]

Marie! Didn't you see " Castaway " ?? Okay, that was

FedEx, and not UPS, but.... No way I'm getting on one

of those planes now!

Marcus

Your e-mail will definitely wet their taste buds.

Please put me down for a 1 Bedroom for 3-7 nights, depending of what's organised.

I will probably bring one of my girlfriends with me.

I will discuss with the boys. & will be hoping to have a small babe or heavily pregnant by then and Brendon is still in a state of "non acceptance" of the disease. It's not something he likes to speak about but in further years, as he matures, I'm sure he and his family will be happy to participate.

There's plenty of time, but just add me to the list anyway.

AN INVITATION TO YOU ALL

Hi to everyone yet again from Marcus down under in OZ, land of Koalas, Kangaroos, Platypus and other weird animals.

This time round I'm not asking for Birthday greetings for fellow crewbies (no no no I had to give the dress back OH DARN !! ), but to personally invite each and every one of you to join us Aussies Down Under in Australia .

In the spirit of the Las Vegas Con, we Australian crewbies will be hosting the ' NF2 OZ-Adventure' in June 2002 in my town 'Surfers Paradise' on the East Coast of Australia.

The invitation is open to all NF2bies and their families all over the world, not just crew members. And before you say " I'll never be able to go " read on, we have made some very special deals for 4 star accommodation ( see below) located in the heart of the town right on beach and for those of us that don't walk too good we are located right on the mall, with hundreds of shops and food outlets at the bottom of your elevator.

For international Crewbies, the Australian dollar is worth around half the American, so once you get here its CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP

Where and What is Surfers Paradise ? :

Surfers Paradise is the name of my town in the city of Gold Coast in the state of Queensland, which is of course part of Australia.

Surfers Paradise is a beach town with subtropical rainforest in the mountains just 20 minutes away.

Accommodation ??? Will be at the Paradise Resorts apartment buildings named 'Allunga and Ballah' (Aboriginal for Sunrise and Sunset) these are twin 30 level towers the only apartment buildings right on the mall. They have heated pools, spas. saunas, tennis courts BBQs, Foxtel, Air-conditioned etc etc etc they also have full kitchens and laundry in each apartment as well as a large balconies and guaranteed uninterrupted beach views. They are serviced 4 star apartments and available in 3 bedroom sleeping six , 2 bedroom sleeping 4 and 1 bedroom sleeping 2 people.

Room rates are 40% off the normal rate.

One bedroom apartment sleeping 2 people $105 per night Australian Dollars ( yes $52.50c American or $26.25 each AMAZING )

Two Bedroom sleeping 4 people $150 per night Australian Dollars or $75 American

Three Bedroom sleeping 6 people $195 per night Australian Dollars or $ 97.50 for Americans.

Currency exchange rate may vary between now and June 2002.

Bookings will need to be made through my account when we get a little closer. This is a very special genuine discount, at a once only 'just for us' rate.

How do I get to Surfers Paradise ( or Australia ) : For Americans, a standard flight from Los Angeles to Brisbane ( 40 miles from Surfers Paradise) starts at $1,200 US dollars return with Qantas airlines. Internet booking agencies advertise as low as $850 return US Dollars. If we get enough interested people from the USA ( over 10 people ) we can apply for a group discount.

Things to do here ?? : You can go and do just about anything you can imagine.

We intend to organise day tours to Australian wildlife parks, maybe Seaworld Down under, a real Aussies BBQ in a subtropical mountain rainforest, on and on and on. I have a 21 seater bus available so we can do and see things together as a group.

Importantly the OZ-Adventure is not a conference, but an opportunity for Crewbies and NFers from all over the world to see a little bit of Australia, meet other NFers with the security of knowing you are with people just like you.

If your interested, please get in touch with me Marcus marcusmc@... I can send you more details and links. The NF2 OZ-ADVENTURE website will be up and running SOON !!!

All the best to you from Down Under Marcus-from-OZ

[Guest guest]

Marcus, it looks like it will cost about $2000 each, roughly. So $4000

for my wife and I. I would sure like to try and come. Let us know as

things progress. Or if need be I can help from here. It sounds really

good! Plus I've never been to tomorrow, I've waited until tomorrow but

I'm stuck in today.... (sorry... it's way late here,) hey it's tomorrow

already! But it can't be, cuz it's today... but yesterday was today...

but today wasn't yesterday it's today..... right?????

Later,
