Just got back a few days ago from your lovely country. It was great although I was only in Perth and areas around there.
Smeg, Keep me posted on your final plans for Houston - I may come down from San Fran if there is a suite at the rockets going. Also, let me know if you are coming to the Bay Area. PM me for contact details.
My mom is a visiting professor at UWA and I went out to see her over the holidays. She is living near the CBD so spent a fair amount of time in Northbridge also went to Freo, Cottesloe, City Beach and Rockingham. A bit further afield did a three day Margaret River /SW Australia tour and went to Rottnest Island for two days. Really enjoyed my time there and the weather was perfect most of the time. It got a little cool down along the Southern Ocean but around Perth it was generally sunny. Not too hot either with it getting to 38 C when I went to Cottesloe. The only drawback though was how expensive things were. The mining boom is driving the price up of everything. Even with that I would still pay $11 for a pint of Little Creatures Ale.
Dak, i'm also looking at the j*zz game on the 19th, plus some other weekend activities, so you my friend are definitely not out!!!!
Just keep me in the loop. I'm down for whatever. Well, at least the game, not sure about a suite, but we'll see.
This is the suite info I found the Rockets site.... http://www.houstontoyotacenter.com/premium/suites.php http://www.houstontoyotacenter.com/premium/1112_Suites_Flyer_Generic.pdf
Booked ny to Houston flight last night we get in very late in the 15th Are there times car rental places close, how much for cab from hobby to league city?
Don't worry about getting here (unless you want to rent a car). I'll get y'all at the airport. It's only 25 minutes from the house.
Cool thread: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/showthread.php?t=56115 Found in the suggested threads below this one. Nine years later, and I am only slightly balder. I feel better now.
What about a gathering at Main Event on Saturday? Lots of kid friendly things to do there, while meeting up with Clutch Fans at the same time.
