Who lives near Port Douglas?

[Mama Chai]

I might be coming for a visit early November :yipi. Anyone nearby?

[soulmama]

Bummer... come further south!!! :2lol

[Mama Chai]

lol- I don't even know where Port Douglas is! :lol

[Rinelle]

Port Douglas is north of Cairns isn't it?

[soulmama]

I'm hedging bets on Bel being the closest.... :p

[lizlea]

I don't think any of us are near there - Bel would be the closest, but not that close I think?

[michelle_j_r]

you could not be anywhere on the East Coast and be further from everyone here.

[soulmama]

it's about a 2hr drive from Bel's I guess. :)

[Mama Chai]

*pout* I thought I was going to be able to meet up with lots of you! Its not often I get over to the east- when hubby said we were going over for a conference thing I was like "AWESOME! I can meet some of my favourite IPers!"

Off to sulk.

[Rinelle]

Aww. Wish you were coming closer! SM is right, I'd say you'd be about 2 hours from Bel.

Port Douglas is a really lovely place though, I'm sure you'll have a great time!

[michelle_j_r]

take separate flights! hang on, how are you getting there? cos i would be surprised if you could fly direct from Perth to PD? You going via Brissy? tell hubby you'll catch up with him a couple of days later!

[Mama Chai]

So where are you all? If I came through Brissy who could I see?

I've never flown by myself before:oops sounds scary! :scared rofl

[Rinelle]

I'm in Brissy!

[soulmama]

I'm an hour from Brisvegas. :)

[michelle_j_r]

you've seriously never flown by yourself!?!? Even more reason to do it!

i have a homeschool camp on from the 4th to 9th November so assuming that it's not right around those days then i would fly up to see you. (i am just over 8hrs drive away but if you are child free then i will keep an eye out for cheap flights and come child free too!)

[mama_bel]

LOL, I live around 2.5 hours from Port Douglas. And about 1400km from the Brisi crew! You'd be lucky to find another IPer within a full days' drive of my place, sadly.

Let me know if you do come up. Maybe I'll come play at Port Douglas with you!

[mama_bel]

PS - I have been flying by myself since I was 5 years old. It's okay. :)

[Mama Chai]

OMG Michelle, you will never fucking well guess....... OUR DATES ARE THE 4th to 9th!!!!!!! What are the chances??????????????:( Its my birthday on the 5th, would have been perfect to catch up around then!

I am so chuffed that you would fly to come and see me :love But then, flying anywhere from Perth is a pretty big deal..... :2lol. Definitely have to work something out, because whenever i talk about "my friend Michelle" I have to kind of elaborate "well, she is my friend, I dont actually know her per se..... but she is still my friend!"

[Mama Chai]

Bel, I would love that! I tried to talk hubby into coming over by campervan so that I can stop and meet IPers along the way, maybe I will keep working on him, lol.

Yeah, I guess I should take a trip by myself some time....

[soulmama]

:yes

[michelle_j_r]

are you kidding me! those are the dates!?!?!? WTF! how is that even possible???? It is seriously the only thing i have booked in from late May onwards and the entire rest of my calendar is EMPTY!!!!!!

[Mama Chai]

I KNOW! I am SPEWIN'!
