Alisha's Aussie Rickenbacker vacation

I thought it might be appropriate to start a new thread for Alisha's trip. We'll be posting pics, comments, etc. so keep your eyes peeled!!

Darren, Robyn and I got together last night and we're all just soooo excited and ****-a-hoop about Alisha's visit and very proud that she chose to come and spend some time with us Aussie Rick nutters!

We'll make sure she gets home in one piece - perhaps a little frayed around the edges, however.........

Bring it on!!

I heard that John Simmons was intrigued about the "****-a-hoop".

From answers.com:

1. Being in a state of boastful elation or exultation.
2. Being askew.

[From the phrase to set **** on hoop, to drink festively.]

So there!!

To answer your question, Nick, we play hanging upside down!

Aitch...........should I start a thread titled "Alisha's UK disappointmentÓ ? Don't make her trip too good, otherwise you'll just make the next leg look bad

Graham, your legs always look bad.

What time (AEST) will Alisha be arriving in our neck of the woods? What i'm really asking is.. when do we open the first bottle??

"Do you guys play guitar on the left down there?"

Or, are your strings wound in the opposite direction?

She was due to be touching down at 9:35am today (May 10th), Greg. The flight departure was delayed for more than 2 hours, so it will be interesting to see how much time they make up in the air - if any.

Graham: Don't worry about it, mate. I'm sure a ride in your Reliant will be far more exciting than anything we've got planned over here!!

Update: The flight was 2 hours 20 minutes late taking off but has picked up 1-1/2 hours in flight. Landing in Sydney at 7:55am - due in Melbourne at 10:25am..... four hours from now.

Woohoo!!

Aitch, I don't need to say this, but have fun, all of you!

You didn't need to say that! But same here - have a blast and post LOTS of photos, mates!

..umm, I have scanned my copy of Kama Sutra cover to cover and can't find "****-a-hoop" mentioned anywhere....

Well, anyway, have fun doing it Down Under everyone!

Wrong book, Elys!!

We will, Gary. Lots of activities planned involving all of the Melbourne Forumites!

Ooops, sorry Aitch!

Lotsa photos, though?

Houston, the eagle has landed.

Alisha arrived safely this morning and is now hanging out with Aitch.

Tonight we're out to a restaurant and then off to see a local Melbourne band "Airway Lanes".
