As well as astronomy my other thing is (international) travel, man now thats an expensive hobby.
Every 18 months or so I get the urge to head off somewhere this year after a few years procrastination Ive just booked for the worlds longest daytrip.
A 12 hour sightseeing flight Sydney-Antarctica-Sydney on FEb 18th.

A friend of mine did that flight and said it was absolutly amazing. I would love to do it and I am extremely envious of you.
P.S. Don't forget to take some pics to make the rest of us even more jealous ;)

Probably once in a lifetime and it's really my 60th birthday pressie to myself -
As first class is over 5,000 could not squeeze that from the budget so Business Class Deluxe.:cool: (http://misc.php?do=getsmilies&wysiwyg=1&forumid=4#)

Yeah that would be a great trip to do. Would like to do it in an ice breaker though. You can really get the perspective of the enormity of the place. Still at least in a plane you are nice and warm and it does give a unique view.
woah!! soundsllike a blast :D
