I'm posting now because I want to throw out an idea.

Any of you seen aotearoa09? It's a community that's planning on going to New Zealand some time in 2009. I think you'll know some of the people in the comm and I'm in it and thinking of joining them since I'd love to go back. I don't know everyone but it's a good group

Damn, that's too bad. It would be so wonderful if you could join us and we could all be together.

I promise lovely reports so you'll feel like you're there!

Interested? Of course! Able to do it? To be honest, I have no idea if I'd be able to get two consecutive weeks off from work, which I assume is what it would require. And it's a lot of money, *sigh*

I'll take that as a "definitely interested and will figure out a way to do it".

Because you gotta live a little :-)

I'll take that as a "definitely interested and will figure out a way to do it".

I second that. :)

do it, do it, do it.....it's a once in a lifetime event and I will personally send begging and groveling notices to your employers...how thrilling! Thanks so much for letting me know about this post.

I believe in dreaming big - I'd love to have a goal like that to work towards!! So serious interest from me!!

Do you have any idea what the cost would be?

[baranduin]

I think around $3,000. Take a look at Red Carpet's site and check it out.

If it comes off, we'll work with Vic -- when I went with him in 2003, there were 8 of us and we toured in a van. It was a great tour size and personalized.

Oh this is wonderful. I finally have something to really look forward to.

[frolijah_fan_54]

Thanks!! I'll check out the site and start dreaming (and budgeting)!!

I'm going to open a savings account JUST for this trip once we get settled in Trinidad...:-)

[baranduin]

Now *that's* what I'm talking' about!

[lovethosehobbit]

I plan to sell my first born...

YAY!! Can you imagine all of us together in NEW ZEALAND???? I have been asking if anyone was interested in this off and on for about a year. To think we'd get to walk on the ground where rangers and hobbits walked before is so cool

[sophinisba]

I am interested! I will almost certainly have the time, but the money isn't a sure thing. Thank you for bringing this up!

[lovethosehobbit]

Save those pennies...this will be an event of special significance (hmmm, that sounds familiar...)

[baranduin]

I think it's a matter of our planning it and making it happen and ... well, we'll get it figured out.
