Rat Temple - Far Future Travel Plans

I've decided I'm tired of having the same sort of holiday. Next overseas trip will be a "pilgrimage" to the Rat Temple of India :-)

I say far future because it's likely to be quite awhile before I can afford any such thing. There is the Melbourne Worldcon in 2010. I'd also like to visit Floriade which is both at the same time and within walking distance of Conflux. [if it's using the Rydges hotel, that is]. Unfortunately the finances won't allow for this year and also my pet rats, who are unwell, would never forgive me. I am a slave to the wishes of small fuzzy rodents.
