Urgent Australia Tour 2017

Dear maharaja,

PAMHO AGTSP

Yes 11th to 21st will be great. Already program at University of Queensland arrange with the Bhakti Club for 18th. I think we should start in Melbourne in the South on the 11th and then head north where you can return to Mumbai from Brisbane. 

I couldn't arrange any significant university programs in Sydney so maybe we can skip Sydney. Unless you feel the need to go to Sydney. I think 4 cities in 9days is too intense. Sydney devotees welcome to join us on tour. I know some already planning to.  

I think a nice schedule would be 11th land in Melbourne  from Mumbai. The 12th-15th Melbourne programs. Fly to Gold Coast on the 15th.

HpS - Hare Krsna. AGTSP. Paoho. So nice to have your association. Back in Lima. The 15th is Sunday, no? October 15th. It is also Ekadasi by our local calendar. Bad day to travel, ei Mate? 

Sunday feast at New Govardhan on 16th, possibly a Gold Coast program on the 17th. Then drive to Brisbane on the 18th for 1 or 2 university programs (possibly one for academics), temple classes and maybe a talk at Govindas on Friday 20th. Fly out from Brisbane to Mumbai on 21st. 

Good airlines are Thai Airways, Singapore Airlines, Qantas. We want to fly you business class. We can buy your tickets or reimburse you. 

Very happy that you will be coming. 

Your servants

HpS - ASA --  We have been doing research on Expedia.com and the Wikipedia and the only direct flight to Melbourne seems to be Air India from Delhi. Bad airlines? Arriving and leaving from different cities is much more costly, so should we go in and out of Melbourne and make adjustments locally?    Also, Economy is $1000 and Business is $2,400!   We could buy two Economy class tickets for that price. Fly with a partner?

Any suggestions from anyone?

Friday the 2oth is Govardhana puja. Where should we spend that day?

Only thing fixed for our calendar is that we will be in Bombay after the GBC meeting in Ujjain on the 3rd & 4th?   So we need to start from Bombay, though we can catch a local flight elsewhere. On the return trip we are really headed to Kolkata side.

Your turn.
