[VIC] EOI Tassy Trip

Hey guys, this was raised a while ago but drop into oblivion due to a number of issue.

A few people have expressed interest in resurecting this so I am trying to guage interest.

At this point we are looking at the following dates in 2007:

Australia Day Weekend (Jan 26-28)

Labour Day Weekend (Mar 10-12)

Easter Weekend (Apr 6-9)

I am looking to guage peoples interest and availability in attending these dates, regadless of cost at this stage.


Cheers

Andrew

I'd love to do this.

Can't do Australia Day but could do the other two suggested time slots.

I love Tassie. Fantastic driving too.

Yep, I have someone working on a package deal/price. Was trying to keep it price free for the moment to just because price can vary so much.

Speaking for myself, I'd prefer Easter because it's a longer holiday period to cover the drive down and back.

What kind of itinerary have you got in mind Andrew? I've got a few ideas that might add some extra dimensions to the trip if time allows.

We might have to have a chat about it over a beer or 5 next weekend.

Mike,

If we go, we'll be sans kids (too much driving to keep them occupied).
