lewmonst 0 #1 June 6, 2003 this is definately the best way karma has ever come back to me... I'm going to New Zealand and Australia for 2 weeks with some of my kids from school. So any suggestions on little things to experience while I'm there are welcome. And if anyone wants to meet up, send me a pm or email. Our schedule is pretty set since it's with a guided tour, but there could be opportunities. here's the plans: 9-Jun-03 4:40 PM Cincinnati 9-Jun-03 6:14 PM Los Angeles 9-Jun-03 9:35 PM Los Angeles 11-Jun-03 5:10 AM Auckland 14-Jun-03 1:00 PM Auckland 14-Jun-03 2:30 PM Sydney 17-Jun-03 8:40 AM Sydney 17-Jun-03 11:40 AM Cairns 22-Jun-03 6:25 AM Cairns 22-Jun-03 9:15 AM Sydney 22-Jun-03 2:00 PM Sydney 22-Jun-03 10:25 AM Los Angeles 22-Jun-03 2:10 PM Los Angeles 22-Jun-03 9:23 PM Cincinnati I'm probably not bringing my rig since I'm kinda a chaperone on this trip for kids and someone else is paying my way, i doubt i'd be able to interupt the schedule and detour to a dz... as much as i'd like to... believe in karma. peacehttp://www.exitshot.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
