"Seldom Seen Slim"]Don't forget to have a passport when you travel. I don't know if they're REQUIRED to go from US to Australia, but no matter where you fly you'll make it through airport security more easily with a passport.
If you don't have yours already, apply soon -- sometimes they arrive in weeks, sometines in months, so get started and get on the plane with less hassle when the time comes.
Sure wish we could go with the group to Australia...
Jon, it would be good to have you there also, make it happen and tell Nancy there is better sun tanning there, they have this hole in the ozone that allows the best "rays" to come through for a great tan...yes you are right, you will need a Passport and thanks for bringing it up.
The door is closing soon for serious people that want to go so contact Mike if your are serious, Mike did state that the other racers may have to put there gear and bikes in another container as the one for the liner, gear, and "other" bikes is about full.
