Just sitting in OOL lounge Samh proposed to Dee-Anne he had the words Dee-Anne will you marry me printed on her boarding pass. Now toasting the happy couple with Spakling in the QF OOL lounge

Yes Well done Samh004. Come on, we need more details than that...like where is the photo of the ring? Suppose we'll hear all about the proposal and the ring over the weekend.

Good move!
An early meeting in SYD was cancelled so I changed my flight to QF430. No alarm clock Monday morning, woohoo!!
I guess I'll see you in the lounge as well.

On my way to drinks - Where is it to be? Upstairs at HOME - Aer Bar or inside at HOME - European Bier Cafe?

Friday
6pm - Welcome Drinks at European Bier Cafe and AER bar, 120 Exhibition St, Melbourne

These two venues are essentially the same. The European Bier Cafe is located on the lower floors, and the AER bar is the open air rooftop bar. If the weather is good we will be upstairs in the rooftop bar, but if it is raining we will be on one of the other floors. Keep an eye on the thread for our location.
Cost: Drinks at bar prices
HOME - European Bier Cafe
HOME - Aer Bar

The weather is so nice here in Melbourne I would say up stairs.

Makes sense - I'll be there in about 30 minutes. ..

I'm here. Upstairs. But it's very busy so I'm not sure where we're meant to be.
