Hi Guys,

Decided I need to make the massive trip over this year wondering if anyone else is going maybe we could join up it would make the 17hrs flying more enjoyable. I'm leaving from sydney flights are being booked next week. Looking forward to meeting up with some friends over there.

Cheers
Mark

Hi Mark,
See if you can get a seat towards the rear of the plane, a bit more engine noise but can be worth it. On the way over this year I was the only one in three seats on one side and got to lay down and stretch out. Managed to get a good sleep on the way over and avoided the jet lag. See you doctor and get some valium as they wiil help you relax and sleep.
Definitely a long plane trip, actually the longest in the world if your going straight to Fort Worth from Sydney. I found it was definitely worth it, you'll never find anything like it over here. However the best bit is all the great builders you get to meet and talk with. Be prepared for some late nights!!

Hi Don,
I wish I could go again but it won't happen next year so I'll just sit home and sulk that weekend. I'm sure everyone will have a good time but please have a toast for Mike as I'm sure he will be there in spirit.
Americans have a lot of stuff backwards!! like driving on the wrong side of the road, light switches are back to front and the toilets have far too much water in them!!!

I wish I was going with your Mark. I'd like nothing better than to meet up with some of the great rod builders from this site. Some day!
