I am in Australia and would love to meet up with you guys. I am not really caring where – but I must say I am leaning toward Halifax. I went to my local YHA info center and got an information brochure on hostels in Eastern Canada. I would love to go there and am currently trying to save money so I can make it to an Lexx convention “somewhere”.
I would recommend staying at Dalhousie U. up in Hali. But not because of the facilities, just the price. The rooms were smaller then the captains quarters in submarine films! If your a student (which I’m guessign you are) it will only be about $130 (Canada) for 4 nights, w/ tax! You basically get what you pay for though. Which is really just a private room and a bed w/ sheets. But you won’t spend much time in the room anyway, so it shouldn’t matter.
Airfare is whats going to kill you though. I just went to expedia.com and put in a flight from Sydney to Hali. (wed-mon) for July 13 weekend and it doesn’t look pretty. About $2,250 (US)
Ofcourse online travel sites have been expensive recently, so I’d recommend contacting a travel agent, or robbing a bank.
I’ll try to get the uncon date confirmed a little faster, so the airfare doesn’t go up any higher for you.
