I am in the final planning states of this 23,100 mile expedition. I will start a survey next week to keep track of who I can visit and chat with while down there on vacation. I feel it is only fair since many of my Kiwi and Aussie friends have come to the US to attend Autodesk University and some of them did it on their own dime. Some of my top beta customer beta sites come from NZ and Australia and are very active and great to chat with. I finally get to wear my New Zealand All Blacks shirt in New Zealand.
Schedule UPDATED 4/19/06I will be in the Southern Hemisphere visiting New Zealand and Australia in May 2006. While I am there I would like to meet with some customers and discuss various topics or meet with a local user group. If this sounds like something that interests you please complete the below survey.

Shaan, Remember to get your Origami wired for southern hemisphere or you’ll have to use it upside down.
Robin,
I hear the Oragami device automatically switches the Kiwimode.
One a side note, have you seen the Aussie press that said that 60% of Vista is being re-written was a flat out false story with no basis for fact yet many posted it as gospel in blogs? Doesnt anyone check facts even many industry press fell for it as well as some in the CAD universe. 🙁

I can take you to Hobbiton although not really into the whole LOTR thing. Just as well as thanks to your link I found out my Hobbit name…
