Australia/New Zealand Schedule
Just wanted to post my schedule for my Australia/New Zealand trip. I'm leaving in a WEEK and I'm an utter mess! I've so much to do that I've been just staring at my computer frozen not knowing where to start. My husband wants me to write up a list of dinners and how to cook them, I need to get handouts pulled together for various workshops and presentations I'm doing down under, I have to pack, I have to figure out how to Skype and install a webcam on one of our home computers, AND my editor just sent final edits for Touch of Power and needs any changes by Friday. *Deep breath* Well, at least once I get on the airplane, I shouldn't have trouble sleeping because I'll be exhausted ;>
As for my schedule - I'm hoping to extend my time in Brisbane and I hope there will be a public event in Auckland, New Zealand besides the RWNZ conference. I'm a bit frustrated as I'm the type of person who would have all this scheduled and confirmed months ago, but I'm not in charge :) My husband tells me to relax - good advice that's easier said than done!
And so, here's the schedule (check my website (http://www.mariavsnyder.com/AUS.php) for links to the events and also check it this week for any last minute additions/changes as I'm sure there will be some):

ReplyDeleteMy friends and I are definitely going on the 16th! Can't wait to see you.
ReplyDeleteSee you soon. :DD
Thanks! I'm excited about the trip - I was just having a panic attack :) I'm planning on using skype to stay in touch with my family. I had hoped they'd come, but as you can see, my schedule is packed and it wasn't finalized early enough for us to plan for the trip. That and tickets to Sydney cost $2000 a piece! Yikes - better to use the money where we can all go and relax :)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to meeting all of you! And Bri - thanks for the link :) You're so organized!
OMG!! i am soo excited that your coming to australia!!!!!!!!!! a great place to visit would be where i live... Phillip Island!!! theres lots to do (me and my friends would love to show you round) please consider it.

I would love to go to Phillip Island, Tasmania, Perth, Adelaide, Alice Springs, the Great Barrier Reef, and more of NZ than Auckland, but I only have 3 weeks and as you can see, my days are booked :) Perhaps on the next trip!
ReplyDeleteMy publisher is working on a public event in Auckland, NZ - so check my website often :)

I am heading to Sydney (from Canberra) on the 18th August, so I'm just missing out on meeting you. I'm kinda bummed about it, but perhaps another time in the future I may be able see you. Until then I shall hang on to my books hoping to get them signed.
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy your time down under!
