omanscum (10:57:37 PM): eh
omanscum (10:57:40 PM): thats not AU
GL mole (10:58:00 PM): in 2010
GL mole (10:58:08 PM): that's enough time for kevin to get his war on

1) It would HAVE to be early Jan for me to get there.

2) 30-50% Its all about moneys and Uni. I'd be more likely to go if I knew a few people were.

3) You could think of something better, I'm sure. Lake Tarawere - Tarabash? Then again Kiwiesta rocks except for that IE that annoys me in the middle.

4) If board could be organised I'd be at about 70% to come, if mole, vollkan, or crub are going, 80%, if all three 130%! Seriously though, buying a plane ticket would be a hell of a lot easier than organising ten days worth of board myself. I don't mind pitching in, but whatever you can do would be great.

Nonny: drinking age is 18

Oman · Post Post #61 (isolation #7) » Wed Jul 02, 2008 3:19 pm

Yeah. I'll be drinking beers. Yet to try an NZ beer.

Don't think the Aussies could swing that, we're too spread and most of us won't be going.

I forgot this was 10 days long...this is gonna own.

Its a fuckload cheaper if I show up on a Tuesday and fly home on a weekday.

FWIW: Qantas is a bit more expensive, but higher quality. Jetstar/Virgin are terrible.

Oman · Post Post #109 (isolation #10) » Sat Jul 05, 2008 11:57 pm

Option 1

Kiwiesta/Palooza

And I'll bring a swag, and just crash anywhere if thats okay. I'll help out with food and stuff too if required.

Hospitality...I'll tell them I'm gone for New Years, and to hell with them

Oman · Post Post #117 (isolation #12) » Sun Jul 06, 2008 6:53 am

Is NZ down under?

I'd call them Down, Under, and to the side a bit.

We need to buy tons of those clear nametag holders and make a username one and a realname one.

Oman · Post Post #131 (isolation #15) » Sun Jul 06, 2008 5:18 pm

An advert for the southern meets

Oman · Post Post #132 (isolation #16) » Sun Jul 06, 2008 5:22 pm

$10 a night per head? Thats a fair bit.

Talitha wrote:Oman, I know, but I had already budgeted some money for accommodation. I might be able to negotiate a discounted rate too.

Paying a good 400 for flight, an extra 100 isn't a problem, really, but on top of everything I guess...And for those coming from elsewhere.

Yeah, I don't really mind that. If I do come, though, I'd prefer for it to be for most of the duration, though. Are many people going to be staying for most of it, or are they just coming for a week or so?.

I'll hopefully stay the duration. Depending on Air Force avaliability. Also I have the damn Unrestricted Service thing which means they can essentially just say: No Christmas Holidays for you! Skeleton Crew, bitch. (note: ACO's are rarely skeleton crew).

Compulsory for all attending!

I'm closer to 80% these days!

Looks likely I'll be there.

stop drinking your pay away

Oman · Post Post #210 (isolation #25) » Tue Jan 27, 2009 8:43 pm

New year lets me get over there on my RAAF leave, otherwise I have to take time off course, which might be hard, but not impossible.

Oman · Post Post #230 (isolation #26) » Sat Feb 21, 2009 12:38 pm

Yeah, works for me, I'll be on leave for that 6-13 Jan hopefully.

Oman · Post Post #234 (isolation #27) » Mon Feb 23, 2009 6:01 pm

NZ sits around the high 20s for summer doesn't it?

I could be wrong.

Oman · Post Post #237 (isolation #28) » Mon Feb 23, 2009 11:37 pm

Its SI I think.

Oman · Post Post #248 (isolation #29) » Fri Apr 17, 2009 12:31 pm

Talking to my Kiwi mates about this, they reckon its a really great place to hit in summer!

Oman · Post Post #254 (isolation #30) » Wed Jun 17, 2009 1:00 am

Still happy to come. The fact that I work with three Kiwis really makes me want to come now

Oman · Post Post #259 (isolation #31) » Wed Jul 01, 2009 9:18 pm

Roger, I'll see when I can get them. That said, I'd like to see a few more yeses before I put money down.

Oman · Post Post #263 (isolation #32) » Tue Jul 07, 2009 3:50 pm

I'll remain B for now. I'll buy a ticket shortly then shift to Alpha.

Oman · Post Post #266 (isolation #33) » Sat Jul 18, 2009 11:46 pm

Buying tickets shortly, I've made the decision and just need to get dates.

Tally, when do you want us to start arriving? When do you want us to leave? What are the best ways to travel to your place from Auckland (which I assume is the closest domestic airport)?

Hooray only $500-700 return depending on times!

Oman · Post Post #271 (isolation #34) » Wed Jul 29, 2009 3:34 pm

Standby for this, I've got to check that I will be on leave for this period. Bah, should know soon.

Oh man, my christmas holidays are encroaching on Kiwiesta time...I'm gonna have to stay a B for a while.

Also, if Pooky and I are allowed to go out and tune up the kiwi chicks I'll quit my job to get involved.
