I saw an ad two days ago for roundtrip from LAX to SYD for $1,000 and included 3 legs on local airlines to get you where you needed to go once you were there. I think it could be done well under the $5,000 mark, although that would be a very nice trip with all the bells and whistles. The time table Treasure provides is spot on. My longest single leg as a crew member was Dallas to Tokyo Narita and it was exactly 14 hours and 1 minute. 3 movies, a nap 2 meals and you are there. Still a sizeable amount of money, but not all that bad if you have 2 years to plan for and hide the money.

Larry didn't get "the 2 years in the planning or hiding the loot"?

assuming a rotating schedule, you would have probably at least 2 years between hosting and travelling, so... consequently 2 years to plan the trip and hide away the money from yourself or any other family partners to pay for it.

Yeah Larry thats a thought. 2 years sounds kinda close though. considering all things, 5 years sounds better, because if they are kinda close people will probably think they can miss a few and go to one 'down the track' . Whereas if it is a one off special once every five years it becomes like a World gathering or EC12 conference type of thing. Where we not only chin -wag but race, do stuff together etc.So it is a special event to plan for , for the troops to look forward too. That lots of EC12s can alure too. That one can save for.

Hmm Not sure what life expectancy is of a 12 skipper,but five years between meetings does not give much hope of greeting friends made at the last meeting!Sorry treasure have to go with Larrys two year turnround.

I just thought that every couple of years might be something that those who are prone to the travel would consider. I don't think that the WORLD championship.... should it ever come to that.... would be held that often. 4 years should be good for that.... but somnething akin to a Nationals might be attended by some dedicated souls that can make the trip.
