I have now checked into room 4 of the Jasper Motor Inn in Hyde Park, just about 4 km. from the Adelaide Amiga & Retro-Computing Event venue at Eastwood Community Centre.

Hi Robert,

I live near to Tullamarine airport in Melbourne.

On Saturday I drive past Tulla on my way to St Andrews and a few other places in the country.

If the timing is right I could probably drop you off at Clayton either on the way there... or on the way back. That way you wouldn't waste your day in a hotel room?

0403 073 055 if you want to discuss it?

Heh, what did you do today, Robert?  Well, friends Gaelyne and Rod Gasson brought me to the store, and I bought masking tape.  Then back at my hotel room, I sealed the door and the windows with that tape.  Ah, no more wind whistling through the room!  :)

Thanks.  I'm looking forward to it, too.

If the weather clears up, I was thinking of walking the 4 km. to your venue at the Eastwood Community Centre.  Also, Gaelyne and Rod have offered me a ride, just in case the weather is not agreeable.  It will be their first time to attend the event, too.  However, if I can't get Gaelyne and Rod to give me a ride, then I will call you guys.  Just send me your phone numbers via private message.

September 17 - Depart Adelaide and arrive in Melbourne. Accommodations at Monash Hotel, 2077 Dandenong Road, Clayton, VIC
After much effort (airport express bus to local train to local bus to walking with a big suitcase several streets in the dark while being led by Monash University computer science students Brendan and Alyssa), I finally made it to the Monash Hotel, room 13.

Whew,

September 20 – Depart Adelaide and arrive in Sydney. Accommodations at Hotel Ibis Budget St. Peters, 178 Princes Highway, St Peters NSW

Last night I arrived at my hotel.  The weather is cool, overcast, and at times rainy.  No touring today!  ;)
