Bus, Breakfast and Booze in the Barossa [Sun 3Apr16]

[Steady]

The CP is about a 10-15 minute stroll from the pickup point

Thanks TV, 10-15 minutes walk is Ok.

I just realised these flights qualify for the 50% bonus status credits offer I got :mrgreen:

My flights are booked, (I fly into ADL on the Wednesday for business) I'm departing 19:55 to MEL on QF696 - upgrade confirmed.

I think I will be at the Crowne Plaza Wednesday through to Saturday am - Buzz not knowing Adelaide or the route you have in the OP, is the CP on or near the pickup route? It would be easier to just stay in the same place Saturday night.

The QF booking page tells me there are 74 days to go.....

We'll be in Row 4 kicking the back of your seat

Playford is directly over the road (well, bar 20m). I figure if breakfast is supplied en route, an alarm set for 7:40am should do the trick (allowing for the previous evening's festivities :shock:

Playford is great. We would probably stay there if I hadn't gotten an absolute steal of a rate at the Hilton.

ALH and I usually stay at the CP, so no real issues with location

You will have about as far to walk as I will have, 10 or 15 minutes.
We could even meet and walk together.

I do! You know where to send the bubbles, right?

I Thought you had space problems?

They stack, dont they? :mrgreen:

We do. But I'll make it fit

Oh wow! Just stumbled on this thread. Buzz, your famous wine tour is definitely sought after, already 5 pages of postings and not even 10 hours - well done!
I don't know if I'll be around yet for this, if it's sold out by then (which I am sure it will), my loss, but I'll try to join you guys for dinner at the very least.

Would you like to be the second person on wait list?

Thanks for your kind offer but I'll offer that to our interstate friends first as I've been to Rockford a lot of times.

 

[Katie]

Waitlist for two???

 

[Buzzard]

Waitlist for two???

Consider it done.

We have a spare booking at the Playford if anyone gets desperate (cheaper than the current rate on offer).

A big thank you to romney for donating 3 bottles of wine as prizes. At least we now have something to give away.
