Thought I'd share - we have been asked to go to Dubai (on Monday!!!) to do a fauna survey for a golf course in the desert ...... would I kill to go??? Yes .... do I want to go .... of course!!!! .... can we go .....
no Work committments kind of buggered up a chance of a lifetime - but what can you do? I spose at least they asked?

Oh well - it looks like Damo's dad is going to go for us, so at least I'll get to see the photos

Rel

you would have only buggered an opportunity if they paid you to go.
your doing well

Rel - send me, send me! I am available and will do exactly as you tell me.

Wendell - it was a paid job, covering all costs, fairs, accomodation and meals, as well as our daily rate , but as you say, we are doing ok

Just so you can see what I'm talking about : this is the site



Would've been cool though huh?

Rel

I am free to go....... so pick me, pick me

I would if I could guys

That is not much of a response Rel. I am a golf course expert....I have played on hundreds

rel... just remember there is always a next time and it's usually better than the last.

cheers

Amazing Rel a paid gig overseas you are doing the well the fact that you could of said no to it means your doing really well, aim high and be a superstar
Been to Dubai lots of western shopping centres, the burj al arab hotel is a nice site but only if the weather is great, when i was there i experienced a dust storm the whole stay so your pic kind of looks like what i saw dusty but romantic

Oh Wendell , if only it were that easy ....... our perm part time work means we can't go (ie can't get holidays quite that quick) - not the amount of work we have in our own business.....
But as Mark said, something even better will come up

And I still get to see the photos

I'll go and provide photographs of the birds
You can do the macros ^_^

i can feel your pain rel

I have a full time job i have to make my boss happy to ask for time off to pursue my own interests which i do quite alot - work is boring

Work is just a means of making money to pursue what you enjoy.

Start your own business!
I've heard you've been bought out by a young model

Only one thing I can say:

BUGGA!

Narelle talking to Damian after seeing a camel through the binoculars:

"My Godfather - that one has a two huge lumps growing out of its back!"

I'm sure there will be more opportunities coming up soon, Rel. Just keep at it.

Cheers

OT but I saw some pictures, it's quite impressive

Rel,
I was there 2 weeks ago. Got some pix on my new Smugmug site if you want to tease yourself. Look in the travel section.

I didn't see any animals there just more sand than you could ever imagine and the most amazing architecture.

But the place isn't for everyone - have a listen to what John Laws thinks of it. ( make sure there aren't any sensitive ears around)

We went to the ski centre - very impressive but at A$50 I didn't go inside to get a snap.
