Hi,

I think I can help you arrange a great holiday.

My friend has an adventure company located in Adelaide. It's a 'reality' type setup, in that you can choose a scenario and act it out. His popular packages are the 'bank robber,' and the 'backpacker kidnapping.'

In the 'bank robber' he has you rob a local bank. I know what you're thinking, but don't worry. The staff are part of the local theater group and are amazing actors. They'll seem terrified of your sawn off shotgun, but rest assured they are fine with it all. The police will also probably turn up, but no one has real bullets, so you can just fire away. He also arranges a getaway car for you. Its always the one closest to the bank and to add more drama, there is someone in the drivers seat you just throw out of the way.

The one that might interest you more however, is the 'backpacker kidnapping.' In this scenario he has found a couple who want to travel north. He has you find a van and tests your macgyver skills by having you hot wire it. Once you have the van, you pickup the backpackers and start driving as fast as you can towards some scenic spots such as Wolf Creek. This is their cue to start acting scared and your cue to use the duct tape and zip ties to tie them up. Hilarity ensues. To end the trip, you sell them and the van to an old bearded guy a few hundred kilometers up the road and then you can get a train ride back to Adelaide. The train he uses is not the ghan, but there are sacks of grain you can lie on and be out of sight from prying eyes. You're bound to be tired after you adventure.

I think this will certainly add some spice to your life. IT is probably the most boring thing in the world and the beauty of it is you will most likely get to visit Adelaide many times for mini-reunions. The actors and the police will be in a special hall and will go over all the details of your trip. One guy did so well, he moved to Adelaide permanently. I think the area he moved to is called Northfield. Anyway, he has a special room number there and you can write him letters to find out his thoughts about the service.

Just let me know which one is best for you and I'll put you in touch with my friend.
