通告關於2014袋鼠隊東征 (學濤) (07/08/13)

最新通告

前言：四月份[袋鼠東征 ] 曾初定墨西哥西岸郵輪為目標，可惜過了一段時期，沒有得到太大的迴響，沉寂了一會兒，況且我們大家各人全沒有落實，又留下一段時間作考慮。

很高興地昨天聚會終於漫開了歷史的一刻，在此我謹代表雪梨同學報告此次聚會商討的結果。

與會五對夫婦(兩人缺席)及吳立美姐妹(電話)決定袋鼠東征之一站，為東加勒比海七天郵輪，我們不懼未來澳幣的低沉，決定於明年赴美與各位同學校友，進行畢業四十週年的聚會，當然免不了探討北美洲的著名勝地，將東岸加勒比海收納，參加海上綠洲號郵輪，啟程日期四月十九日，在FL省Fort Lauderdale下船。希望留下美好的回憶。

茲將初步行程表列出

四月十一日星期五：抵達洛杉磯

四月十二，三日星期六，日：洛城大聚會，小聚會

四月十四或十五日星期一或二：開始拉斯維加斯三天二夜旅遊

四月十八日星期五：搭機赴東岸佛羅達州曼亞密市

四月十九日星期六至四月廿六日星期六早上：七日郵輪之旅

四月廿六日星期六下午：乘機赴三藩市

四月廿六日星期六晚上：抵達三藩市

四月廿七日星期日：三藩市大聚會，小聚會。

四月廿八日星期一開始：容後定離美日期

註：袋鼠隊寄語呼籲各位親愛的同窗摯友，無條件地給我們最好的建議，關於以下各點：1）最好租住那一區的酒店旅館，以減少舟車勞頓，費時失事之誤。2）拉斯維加斯行程的提議。3） 機場轉戴的提議。

最後亦是最重要的一件事，船公司規定如落定至少八個雙人艙以上，可以用團體名參加而享用各種優惠，如借用會議廳或贈送購物券等。但目前人數尚不足額，各位如有興趣，包括鳴遠以外的朋友，請務必于七月廿日前電郵聯絡，不然我們一旦交付定金，就難再作打算了。

謝謝各位朋友同學。

學濤敬上         

                                

To all Minh Vien alumni

I am pleased to announce that our Kangaroo team for the excursion in US is now confirmed and established with 12 members, they are 偉銓夫婦，建立夫婦，樹坤夫婦，德芳夫婦，學濤夫婦，及立美姊妹。

We plan our group to arrive in Los Angeles on Friday April 11^th, 2014, follow by a gathering function (to be organised by US classmates) on Saturday April 12^th, 2014. On Sunday, we can spend more time together.

By Monday or Tuesday, we want to have a short tour visiting Las Vegas for 2 nights.

We will leave Los Angeles on Friday April 18^th, 2014 to arrive in Florida on the same evening, spend a night to prepare for the departure of 7 nights Eastern Caribbean Cruise around mid day on Saturday April 19^th, 2014. The cruise ends at 6am on April 26^th, 2014 when it sails back to Fort Lauderdale.

We try to catch a flight to San Francisco later in the afternoon, utilising 3 hours local time difference, and arrive in San Francisco on the same night April 26^th, 2014.

After the second gathering function in San Francisco or San Jose if any on Sun April 27^th, 2014, we will end the group but leave the days open at this stage for the return flight.

Any group member can decide to visit their family or relative at the beginning or ending of the plan.

We have not booked for airfare yet, as all destinations are well popular, we may tailor flight schedule as needed after more discussion.

We welcome your suggestion, comments and arrangement regarding accommodation, airport transfer and most importantly, how we organise the gathering function.

However, there is an important issue we are facing at the moment, due to the requirement by the cruise company, we must have at least 8 double cabins booked to be eligible for group booking, one of the advantage that concerns us is the ability to request for a private meeting room for our own.

If you are interested in this cruise, including any friend from other school, please email us by July 20^th, 2013, so we can book under the same group, otherwise, it won’t happen as we will book and pay a deposit by then.

We are looking forward for the 2014 and wishing the best to everyone.

Best regards,

Hoc
