  I won’t be arriving til late either that Friday night 23rd so I won’t make the tour meeting. Looking forward to meeting everyone, its going to be so much fun!!
  So many things I want to do, can’t wait! Don’t worry about booking the options, tour guide will organise numbers in advance as we move around all you have to do is say yes or no :)

  Hey Andy I think we just book the optional stuff while on tour.
  We went to the minus 5 bar in Sydney a few years ago. We might do it again. I think we are planning on being at the meet and greet at the Bealy Hotel the night before so see you all then.

  i heard of the minus5 icebar and it’s one of the places i shall check out! lol! but not heard of the below zero icebar. i’d reckon the minus5 is more popular? lol!
  if you go to minus5 at 2 to 3pm, there’s a discount and u pay only nzd10 instead of 32.
  darn, no one else doing skydiving? i’m seriously considering the 18K feet at franz josef.
  great Cindy! whitewater rafting would be awesome. but gonna skip the heli ride though…tried the heli before elsewhere..
  i’m planning to come for the meet & greet but will be late as it starts at 6.30pm based on the schedule..
  as for optional tours Andy, i read somewhere in this forum that the tour mgr will ask you and pay in advance as the bus approaches the destination..something like that i recall…

  Hey Andy,
  I’m not 100% sure but I think we book them at the beginning of the tour or along the way????

  Hey soni,
  You may know the answer to this – My luggage is slightly out on the dimensions – 31″ × 16″ × 15″ instead of the 29″ × 20″ × 10″ do you think this will be an issue or not? Nothing like leaving it to the last minute :) We head out of here tomorrow!
  Thanks,
  Cindy.

  Hey guys,
  For those that asked earlier where the Minus 5 bar is in Sydney, it use to be in East Circular Quay. Micheal and I went in 2007 so I’m only assuming it is still open :o)
  1 sleep and my journey begins!
