Thanks to
penegal for organising the dinner location, yes I flew down to Melbourne just to catch up with boxo(FT) and a few others, thanks to Virgin for providing award seats on my desired flights a day out from purchase, but what sealed the deal was Hilton on the park having award space 16,000 + $61, bargain.
Thanks to
simongr and
JessicaTam for the cab sharing, and especially for Jessica in giving me the hint to go, that saved any potential hangover this morning.
Thanks for organising
penegal. Good to catch up with faces old and new - see those of you who can make it (and aren't flying, sertfy- or stuck north of 2 borders, bundy) next week
Yeah it is a long way when you cross 2 borders,
serfty did it for Brisbane Christmas drinks so I thought it wouldn't be so bad, always wanted to do another city drinks and finally I ticked that off my bucket list.
It was great to finally meet
simongr in person, another bucket list, I need to work out which AFF member I most want to meet next.
Not sure if Trunk met our needs! Drank them out of the two wines we preferred!
Certainly a lot more adult beverages are consumed at Melbourne events. :shock:
It is also funny with AFF events the different people you meet in different locations, I last saw dfcatch in Brisbane and then we meet again in Melbourne, but lot of other similar stories, flying with technology keeps us all very well connected and it doesn't really matter where we meet.
