Default A global wwwomen gathering in Australia
As some of you may have seen I've mentioned elsewhere on the forums that I'm hoping to travel to Melbourne in April 2014. Does anyone wish to make it a global gathering? I know It's 24 months away and far too far in advance for some people to plan for, but it's just far enough away to save for.

I've just checked and our current prices are about £700 return for London to Melbourne flights. Goodness knows if that will go up much in the next two years.

Heck, you know when these things come I always say yes, then I can't. And gee, I still want to go to India

But I'll say yes again. And this time it might be doable now that I don't have a car, because it has been easier to save!

You can stop off at India on the way here or on the way back. That way you have a break in the flight.

So this could easily become a WWWomen Global Tour?

What a shame those bloody dollars are so elusive

I'd love to but don't know if I will be able to save enough. I'll try.

Of course, I'd love to. It will take a freakin' monetary miracle.

Maybe those of us who can't make it to Melbourne, Australia could make it to Melbourne, FL in the US at the same time? Just a thought....

Ha! I wondered if you'd make it! I don't suppose we need to think about dates (other than April 2014) for a wee while yet!

Well, you never know - maybe you'll have some sort of freakin' monetary miracle...?
