If you don't want the name to be a "farce" :roll: you can switch some words around and give it some saving GRACE:

Great Rickenbacker Australian Confluence and Exposition (or Extraordinaire, or Extravaganza...)

I can only presume you meant to type Saturday 3 April and Sunday 4 April 2010 in Melbourne, Australia.
Already picked up, John.

Step 1: Go to the airport! :lol:

Quantas has several dailies from JFK to Melbourne...get ready for a marathon flight - something like 20-25 hours :shock: depending on the layover (usually in LAX).

If I can swing it (and it's a big IF right now) I'll likely hop to the west coast for a few days on business then make the rest of the journey. On the way back a few days in Maui for a bit of windsurfing may break up the long flight nicely. :D

How is it coming guys? I wish I could say I am looking at flights but finances are bleak, grim, dreary... (get the picture) I am however still trying to figure out how to attend. Maybe Santa will put a ticket in my stocking? Maybe I will win that ever elusive lottery? or Maybe I will manage to save the money because all my bills will magically disappear! Desperately hoping to attend... but realistically the chances are not very good. But I won't give up hope until the day it begins. 8)

Its not so bad esp on the Quantas airbus 380 . We just did it in reverse Melb to LA 14 hours .. LA to NAshville was another 4 hours I think then a hop and a skip after week in Nashville NAsh> CHi to JFK. always take a layover for a couple of nights if you can. It really helps the jet lag when you get to the other end

Nor really sure at this stage Tammy. Numbers aren't great as yet. We'll have a get-together amongst the 'usual suspects' and see what the verdict is soon!
