Hello MunitalP,

Can you put me down as coming on 14th August.
Sorry I am not a Platinum any more as I have been doing trips at the LPP on points that cost very little.
I am back to Silver but flying a lot more.

Platinum = definitely coming
Gold = Probably coming
Silver = Might be coming

For the record, while I would love to attend and will be in Melbourne, I'm due to arrive home at 1505 on the afternoon of the 14th, and will have been travelling almost without break ANC-DFW-LAX-AKL-MEL!

I know this is wussy behaviour from an AFFer, but I think I'm going to have to sit this one out.

Unless I suffer some galtej (jet lag in reverse)!

As much as I would love to join you guys I am going to have to give this one a miss.

The partner is away for the weekend, so it is me and my daughter. and considering I have been away so much lately I need to spent time with her before she forgets who I am.. Although I may be able to stop in for a quick drink after the footy though (Tigers v Carlton at the MCG).

Bundybear, we'll have to rain check the scenic flight around Melbourne til the next trip because of the same reason. I'll have the Cessna (or Piper) primed for you next time and I'll take you for a flight around the bay..

Upgrade me to Platinum

Starters

Lagerfield. A bar where we can have a few drinks with easy secure parking (good if planning a taxi home) and not too expensive. Found at the Melbourne exhibition centre end of the Crown casino complex.
Starting time - 1600

Entrée

Peeking Duck. A quick trip to Quanjude – Peeking Duck Specialist since 1864! – for a round of Australia’s best Peking Duck and maybe a wine or beer to wash it down! Starting time 1800

Main and Desert

A La Carte Menu: Skirt up toward the top of town and into the Rydges for mains – Starting time 2000

Platinum cards will look after 50% of the dinner cost and drinks bill here - so indulge!

Night Caps

18o6 - just across the road!

Just so you dont need to look back to the start of the thread!

[serfty]

Hey all, I need to book the restaurants ASAP

If you are thinking about attending, please give an indication - the Peking Duck restaurant is the tightest fit so numbers would be appreciated! ...

...
We are still very tight about making it to Quanjude but are certain for Rydges at 7:30pm.

OK, no Peking Duck @ Quanjude for us. :-|

We will catch up with everyone at Rydges ~7:30pm.

 

[bossreggie]

I will not get there until 6.30pm.

Where should I catch up?

Remember I am staying at Sofitel so hopefully some of us can catch up for breakfast on Sunday too.
