Note that it's going to be either mid Oct or this new date - if we keep going date hunting, we'll never get there. :eek:

Agreed. After the choice is made, I can start the ticket search.

Thanks, all. Looks like we've got enough people to get it going. :)

I originally mentioned Columbus Day in mid October, although it seems that a few would prefer November instead.

For those who said you're interested, would the weekend of 8-9 Nov be suitable?

Sounds good and that would dovetail with Veterans Day (11/11) in the US (a holiday for some).

Sounds good to me. ;) Although I could be biased as I am already planning to be in Thailand at the same time and HKG is but a short hop. :p

Without having looked at flights or accommodation I would have to suggest that October is better for us but only as we start a 66 day trip in late November.

Awesom Andy, as a 'Do organiser, I suggest you pick dates and run with it. A straw poll through the thread might guide you in picking those dates. Not all dates will work for all and you can't please everyone.

Columbus Day this year is Monday October 13th.

One thing to consider is to avoid the Mid-Autumn Festival while while generally in September can be as late as early October - that's not an issue until 2017. Moon cakes are always welcome. :p

Of course for some Antipodeans, early November Works really well (this year 1st-4th represent 'cup weekend').

Anyhoo - there is a sale on for Qantas at the moment so watching with interest.

November 8-9 would be great.
