waight too you meet this old fossil 

[Yellow Meanie]

At this stage it's "highly likely" that I will be home for Turismo

I'm joining a new ship on Wednesday. My opposite will be my good friend and old flat mate from Lonnie.
I have already started negotiating / bribing him for the time off

The only thing stopping me now, is if the office decides to send me to a different ship again.
Unfortunately, in my business, our positions are always subject to change.

At the moment, I'd say I'm 80% sure I'm in

[Jukie]

ccooollll dave cant wait to see you again

[Jukie]

ok guys and girls just paid for turismo, so where is everyone upto on this one

[mattyvas]

Decision pending......

[Jukie]

c'mon matty you can do it

[heatherp]

My itinerary so far:

Lonny hotel booked for Sunday night (7/2)
Devonport booked for Monday night (8/2)
St Helens booked for Tuesday night (9/2)  at Hotel Bazz 
Hobart Wed/Thur/Fri nothing booked yet but have a tentative booking at Couches by Dave during this time.

Was thinking of getting ferry over on the Saturday night (6/2) not booked yet
and was thinking of spending a few extra days in Tassie after Turismo cos I don't have to go back to work straight away.  Will probably be heading south of Hobart round Cygnet way if anyone else wants to stay and play.

Re the Hobart part.  There is a party night on the last night (Thur) so staying in Hobart itself may be a good idea.  Not sure how far out Dave's place is?

Don't think I'm overly organised do ya?    I must have had a good time last one    [moto]

Not nearly as organised as I want to be ... I've been giving Jukie the hurry up.

[heatherp]

How are you guys getting to Tassie? Ferry from Sydney or Melbourne? & when?  The Devonport Visitor Centre can book all your accomm for you if you give em a call.

[Betty]

We will be looking at the ferry on Saturday night too ... they stopped running from Sydney a couple of years ago unfortunately, so we will be making a mad dash for Melbourne.

Anybody have recommendations about accom on the boat considering we are looking at night crossings?

Have done two night crossings.  Once in the cheap seats and once in a cabin.  Get the cabin - the sleep is needed. Besides the bar shuts at about midnight so there's not much to do after that 

[Jukie]

so yes i have just been grant the friday off on the 5th so yes we will be leaving that day

[Andy55]

Jukie I'm intending to leave friday morning and do it in 2 stints , I'm going to stay in Tathra. The Tathra beachhouse looks pretty good.
I am also going to pay for a cabin on the Saturday ferry even if the matresses are only about an inch thick of soft foam!
I do have plenty of time off after the Turismo so yes I was thinking of staying in Tasmania for a few extra days.
I haven't booked any accomodation as yet. I sent an email to the event managers asking where the dinners where each night so I could book a place nearby.   

[Jukie]

ok cool thanks for that, yes we are thinking of getting a cabin as well on the ferry. we have not yet book any accomodation yet either, but we are going to try and booking nearby as well. PM me if you get anymore info.

Thanks Raggady Anne
