FYI : Perhaps Sydney Now!
At first hubby wanted to go for the “Melbourne Motor Show” but I guess February 2008 is a bit too long to wait. So now, he is wavering towards the “Australian International Motor Show” which will be held in Sydney on the 11 to 21 October 2007!
I am not a Motor Show fan and I will never consider visiting a place because of its Motor Show. But if that is the reason that gets me there, I’m not complaining! It’s too bad that Prince Edward Island and Christchurch are not known for their Motor Shows as I would then have the perfect excuse to convince hubby to take me there!
To be honest, I’m not too thrill with the idea that we’re going to Sydney because of the Motor show but since we will be doing a lot of sight-seeing too, that is a big consolation. Of course there are a lot of interesting places in Sdyney. There is the iconic Opera House and the Royal National Park which is the second oldest national park in the world.
The kids will enjoy the Sydney Aquarium, Taronga Zoo and the Luna Park, the historical theme park.
Basically, there should not be any shortages of places to visit that will appeal to the four of us.
But what about accommodation in Sydney? You know that hotels are a big deal to me!
Luckily I knew of a great site that offers cheap hotels in Sydney. From this site, you can get rooms at various Sydney hotels with 2 stars from AUD40, 3 stars from AUD59, 4 stars from AUD94 and 5 stars from AUD139.
These are serious bargain if you asked me! They promised the lowest rates and what’s more they offer last minute deals or all year deals which means that either way, you will get a some kind of a good deal.
At the moment, I’m leaning more towards the Darling Harbour area for our hotel with attractions such as the Sydney Aquarium and Sydney Chinese Garden located here.
But most importantly, the motor show will be held at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre which is in the Darling Harbour vicinity. I better check what cheap Darling Harbour hotels are available for this date before they are all fully booked!
Anyway, Sydney hotels aside since it won’t be a problem, I have to start thinking about all the other logistics as, if hubby changes his mind and decide that it’s Sydney motor show that he wants to go, October is a mere 3 months away!
