2013 National Rally, Help I messed up
« on: January 07, 2013, 04:13:16 PM »
Due to the wife being unable to handle day after day on the bike she is travelling to the rally by plane and I’m riding down with Streak.

The plan was for me to ride down and arrive at the caravan park in the late afternoon of the 14th, the wife would then arrive by plane the next day at 09:25 and I would pick her up.

So I booked a flight for her but messed up the date and booked it for the day I arrive not the day after :fp. I spoke to the airline when I realised my mistake but as it took me a couple of days to notice they want almost double the cost to change the date :cuss.

I was thinking of sorting out one of those tours that drop you off at the place you’re staying… but they all appear to leave before 09:25 when she lands :'(

Anyway, I was hoping for some help with some suggestions on what form of transport would be available to the caravan park on the 14th?

Any advice would be appreciated :-++

Cheers

What time does she arrive in Adelaide?
That might help some local organise a pickup. Even iif it's just to somewhere in Town for a couple hours till you unpack and cruise up.
Never under estimate the predictability of stupidity.
