it is quite interesting for this trip. 30 people going, one of the biggest trips ever organised to Mersing. We have almost all walks of life, from students from two institutions, to mother-son-team, to hard-cores, to female twins, to newbies, etc, etc. The youngest would be 13!

Hi Remus,

Sounds like a great trip! Planning to drive up if I can make it.

Something to note though - will there be any conceivable disruption considering that it is polling/election day ?

ClearSkies,
Chris

wow..thanks Chris for the reminder.
With all the protest going on, its going to be a wild one on their election day....
Would be bad if we are caught in the middle of riots. Of course I am talking about worse case scenario but that's what contingency planning is about, right? Would it be better to postpone it 1 week? :roll:

Rich's protective instincts as a father is kicking into gear :mrgreen:

Should be ok, since not KL or urban areas :)
