Against all odds, there is a long shot that I will be taking a business trip to Melbourne in the next few months. Drinks are on me...
I know Jules lives there - but am unclear about who else may be close for a Shuttertalk-type evening...
Best

Only going to miss me by 600km.

Sydney born and bred, however love Melbourne - you will enjoy it and lots of photo opportunities
Only about 2800km~3000km from me I think!
Sorry, I doubt I'll be able to join you all for any Shuttertalk meeting in Melbourne

Finally, someone coming my way!!

Awesome!
Closer to the date, send me an email with details Rob, and we'll definitely have to catch up!

Will do - its still all very tentative, but we'll see..
I could be there, looking forward to it.

I'll be in Adelaide toward the end of April, does that count?
(Do people actually go
to Melbourne? All the Australians I meet are coming
from there...

)
Well, its starting to firm up - still not 100% - but 90% now for October 11-17...
Ok - its definate now. I arrive in Melbourne Sunday morning, Oct 8, have all day Sunday and Monday open, and leave on Saturday, 14.
I will be staying near the downtown on St. Kilda.
Jules: PM me a phone number and any ideas you might have for a get together.
You see what the offer of 'drinks on me' can do.

Can't make it myself as I will be in the canaries, although it's only a shortish hop. Bit tricky, sneaking on the aircraft these days.

Funny you said that. My wife said today, do I fancy going to America for a holiday. So I said whereabouts, and she says Florida. I said what do you want to go to Florida for. and she says Disneyland. I weep.

But you never know. How far is Mississipi from Florida?
I'll be in Nashville next week. Not Mississippi - bu tdown i that neck of the woods...
Florida is a good ways from mississippi about a 14 hour ride , but Nashville is only about 4 hours away from here your getting closer LOL . Maybe your wife would love to see some of the Elvis stuff in stead of Disney ( yea right LOL ) .

My wife won't be along, Drake. This is business - I will also be in Nashville, Oct 18-21, and in Atlanta Oct 22-29.
Let's see Vancouver to Nashville to Vancouver to Melbourne to Vancouver to Nashville to Atlanta to Vancouver in October.... Where am I now?
Aww I'm there from the 19th-21st so miss you by a few days! Have a good trip, don't get Julian too drunk he can't handle it

Aww bugger... would have been nice to see both of you at once... but yeah, we'll definitely have to catch up.
