If I had a nickel for every time I used major airline promotions for slightly discounted airfares as an excuse to attend a geocaching event with 500+ attendees, I'd have two nickels.
Have just organised some flights and accommodation and very excited to be able to attend. @2@
Looks I will be heading home from Sydney after a trip to the North Coast on the 26th. So I will be definitely dropping in on my way home to Albury. May be a very brief visit (I suspect an hour at mist) but will be there. Will be one at the moment - the 3 kids will probably amuse themselves elsewhereLooking forward to it

Have recently relocated to Sydney and this is less than half an hour away so will be there.
Das wre ein Traum mal dabei zu sein. Leider zu weit weg. Aber vielleicht gehen ja Trume in Erfllung.
