supatroop Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 I was thinking the other day while looking at the deployed pictures at how cool it would be to get the MEPD to host an event in its own right and get as many of its members to all appear and get aN MEPD picture similar to Celebration. Now i know logistically it would be a nightmare as we are all from different parts of the world but hey my moto is "never say never" Next year is a Big year 30yr anniversary of StarWars ANH, now my guess is there will be an awful lot of events going on next year but it would be so cool for us the MEPD members to get togeter on Hallowed ground and pull off the Ultimate get together and Unique Picture ever seen in the History of the 501st at the home of StarWars ............ TUNISIA. COME ON GUYS WE CAN DO THIS, ANY HELP IN ORGANISING THIS ID BE WILLING TO DO AS MUCH AS I CAN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'dib Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 An awesome idea! I have to get my suit ready for deployment still but It sounds cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Templar Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 whats a ruff cost of something like that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjfive Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 From the US you are looking at 2000+ for the airfare, plus needing a travel visa, passport, hotel room, rental car(probably). Also realize that if I recall tunisia has some fairly stringent rules on weapons, which a lot of our blasters may fall under. As cool an idea as I think this is...you are probably looking at 3K+ to do it, possible 4k. THis is all based on quick and dirty math and price searches online. cj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoCKo Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 i REALLY like the idea of getting together in tunisia but it seems to be too expensive for the US members. sad but true, because a flight to the US is as exspensive for me as your flight over to tunisia or europe! the second problem i see is that after you took thousands of pictures there is nothing else a complete garrison of TD´s can do in tunisia!

Muad'dib Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Just think of another possibility. See if you can bring back a coffee can of dirt and replace all the paint and fullers earth on our suits with real sand from "Tattooine". Talk about being truly screen accurate.

Templar Posted June 19, 2006 Share Posted June 19, 2006 customs issue bro, they wouldnt let us bring back sand from Iraq......I like the Idea though, I would be down for that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supatroop Posted June 19, 2006 Author Share Posted June 19, 2006 the second problem i see is that after you took thousands of pictures there is nothing else a complete garrison of TD´s can do in tunisia! I disagree my friend ........ P.A.R.T.Y. im certain if we all booked into the same Hotel we would get a massive discount and be able to Chat to one another and sample the many delights of a beutiful country. It doesnt have to be for a whole week maybe a 4 day Break. Im sure that between us all we could come up with some great ideas to keep us all amused WE CAN DO THIS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD2802 Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Let's see... -car -mortgage -kid's college tuition -trip to Tunisia -groceries anything else I'm missin? As much as I love this idea, something closer to home is more realistic for me. We should have a MEPDcon that the majority could agree to if we do this...

Brian, If we buy two big enough bags we could fit in them. Can you hold your breath in the freezing cold for 25 hours of flight time?

I think I have a better chance of confiscating a bantha or sandcrawler from the locals to get there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoCKo Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 but a bantha would take much longer than an airplane... maybe we could confiscate a landspeeder from a upcoming jedi? hmmmm, i will look what i can find when i get back to my post at the cityborder of mos eisley... no more "move along"!

td2878 Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 having run my own travel agency in the uk the best best to get to tunisa from the us would be to fly to the uk and get a flight from the uk to tunisia, depending on the time of year off season flightwise you are looking at around maybe and this is a estimate based on travelling from calgary canada 1300 dollars maybe 1500 dollars(cdn), in the summer would be almost double that, i got the hookups for hotels in tunisia too from my travel agent days!!!! I could probably get a great deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
td2878 Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 you can get return flights from uk to tunisia starting at 91 pounds return! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
