Subject: T10 and SFF Y2K Meeting
The information on how to get to the Surfers Paradise Marriott is missing
|from the meeting announcement, and that will be corrected.
Surfers is an hour south of the airport by freeway but I recommend against
climbing out of the plane and driving on the other side of the road. Your
reaction time is slower than usual and your natural instinct to avoid
trouble will put you on the wrong side of the road.
It is wise to remember that Australians are very impatient drivers and you
need to behave as if you are driving during the 24th hour of Le Mans. The
Brisbane drivers are more mellow than Sydney drivers, which is a break.
If there are a few of your arriving at the same time, you can get a private
limo to take you to Surfers:
A$115 - standard vehicle up to 4 passengers (if there is beaucoup
luggage, plan on only 3 passengers)
A$180 - stretch limo up to 7 passengers (if there is beaucoup
luggage, plan on only 3 passengers)
A$ 29 - Airport Shuttle bus which runs fairly frequently from
the airport. You go to the Coachtrans desk upon arrival
to purchase a ticket and wait for the next bus.
I am hunting down phone numbers for the above alternatives, as it is always
a help to nail things down as early as possible.
Have you made your reservation yet?
If not, best jump to it because there is no space available after the ENDL
block has been filled. The millenium fever has filled hotels all along the
East coast.
All the best,
Dal
