Subject: New Zealand FTF information
Hi all, I'd suggest that we make a difference this time and have the meeting in a quiet and tranquil rural setting in one of conference centers around Wairarapa, a region near Wellington, the capital of NZ. It is a fully serviced conference centre with rooms or cottages to stay in. They provide a full catering service including meals, transport, communications and entertainment. The town centre is a nice place to have a dinner. The numerous wineries will be happy to serve the best local wines. We will be there in the middle of the wine-making season. The cost is likely to be ~ $165 USD pp including meals (ex. dinner). It is a 60 min drive from Wellington along a scenic highway with no traffic jams. Otherwise u can take a bus, cab or train to get there. It takes ~ the same time. Car rentals start from $23 USD per day with unlimited mileage. The only thing is that you have drive on the left side of the road. Locally, everything is within walking distance or a few minutes by car. The environment is ideal for a productive FTF given that we do not attend too many wineries :-) The other option is to stay in Wellington and have a traditional FTF (not recommended). Please, find a minute and check this URL http://www.wairarapanz.com It will tell you a bit more about the region. Martinborough (http://www.wairarapanz.com/martinborough.html) and Featherston (http://www.wairarapanz.com/featherston.html) are the main destinations there. If you planning to bring your family members along it should not be a problem - there is a plenty of accommodation available, but not for the last minute booking. Feel free to contact me directly if you need more info. Cheers, Max
