Hello from Aus. I don't want to clutter this list so I have provided a temporary email address for ALL replies.
Please use nods dot 20 dot wtw at xoxy dot net I am going to Sofia and it is about 32+ hours from home to hotel flying out of Sydney Aus. So I am arriving on Thursday 25 Sep. and I have a full day (26/9) before the conference starts on 27/9. The organisers have provided some tours on Friday and Saturday. Obviously the Saturday one is for people not attending the con sessions. I love seeing some of the countries I visit and I wish that the Friday and Saturday tours were in the reverse order because I'd love to see Plovdiv and Bachkovo and that tour is scheduled for Saturday. So I intend to do a private trip to those places on the Friday. There is room for 2 or 3 other people who would be ready to start fairly early on Friday morning from near the Expo building. [Con venue) Here is a link to the tour: http://traventuria.com/product.aspx?id=64&cid=71 Note that I am going to book the tour very soon and I won't be able to pay for extra people as I won't know the numbers, but I'll make it a flexible booking and we can sort out the money on the day.
