End of season finale fling!

So.
 
The Phoenix season ends with the following 5 games:
Sun Jan 23 - Perth Glory - home
Sun Jan 30 - Newcastle Jets - home
Sat Feb 05 - Adelaide Utd. - away
Wed Feb 09 - Sydney FC - away
Sun Feb 13 - North Queensland Fury - home
After the success of the recent away trip to Melbourne, I am thinking of taking Monday Feb 7th - Thursday Feb 10th as annual leave and going to Adelaide and Sydney so I can ride the wave for the last 5 games of the season into the finals (hopefully).
 
Rough plan:
  • Fly out Friday evening or Saturday morning. Go to the Adelaide Utd. game at Hindmarsh Stadium Saturday evening (6.30pm Adelaide time).
  • Sunday/Monday/Tuesday could be used for a trip up the Barossa Valley and/or a visit to Kangaroo Island.
  • Tuesday/Wednesday travel to Sydney for the game against Sydney FC on the Wednesday.
  • Thursday fly home.
Options:
1. Melbourne Heart are playing the Central Coast Mariners in Melbourne on Fri Feb 4th... if we left earlier on the Friday we could check into a hotel in Melbourne and go to that game at AAMI Park on the Friday night, and then fly on to Adelaide on Saturday morning.
2. If anyone is crazy, Perth Glory are playing a home game at 5pm on Sunday Feb 6th. We could fly from Adelaide to Perth for that and then back to Sydney.
3. We could leave Adelaide on the Sunday and do something in Sydney or Melbourne between the two Phoenix games.
Not every one needs to do the same thing between the games obviously...

Who is keen? (If we get a few to commit early we could get a travel agent to see if they could t-up a package deal)

Flights on Qantas , Well-Adelaide-Syd-Well  $743.
Another option would be Fly to Adelaide , Road trip in minivan to Sydney, fly home.
 
1375km Adelaide - Sydney  easy 2 day drive, leisurely 3 day drive. (or 1hr 55min flight)
 
I would be keen, its been nearly 20 years since I drove from Adelaide to Sydney.

We're the WELLINGTON Phoenix

Yep, I'd do the road trip in a camper van.
