It’s time for my frequent “The AAP this year will be really really fun and everyone who’s reading this should go – assuming they can afford the truly exorbitant cost” post. In case you missed the previous posts in this series, here is the conference webpage, and here is the accommodation details. For all you outdoorsy types, note that the standard accommodations include free golf, tennis, windsurfers, catamarans, paddle skis, “organised daily activities” and “nightly entertainment”. For more indoorsy types, note that expensive accomodation option includes in-room spas, which seem like an excellent idea to me.

I want a paper session held on the ocean with the speaker and all the audience members on paddle skis. I also want it to be not my session.

UPDATE: The nightly activities include coconut throwing and toad racing. Woo Hoo!

UPDATE²: Qantas flights from Melbourne on the first and last days of the conference are already booked out. I’ve been too successful in plugging this thing. (Or someone has.) Looks like I’ll be spending some nights at the Airlie Beach backpackers waiting for planes.
