I won't be able to make dinner. That is election night, and I will be keeping an eye on the count - my job kinda depends on the outcome.

The question is are you able to make it on Sunday?

I will have to see how well my bank balance recovers after my holiday - if there are any spots left.

Really? Damn

What happened to the "job for life" in the public sector?

I expect the job will still be there, it's the conditions that may change.

It's an excuse to squeeze in another stay at HotP the night before?

Sounds like the Park Hyatt is the best place to stay

Can you please confirm that I paid? I think I did?

Not that you need to come up with an excuse to stay there

I am efforting, rearranging, maneuvering, but it looks like I might be down in Melbourne at this time and able to make this, if a space remains available. Award flights are lining up rather nicely, and other destinations simply aren't as appealing

Fabulous! Yes we still have a couple of spots left

There's 4 spots left. Hope you can make it.

To whet the appetite, some of the yummies that are available at Innocent Bystander...

TheBOSman, You spend more time in Melbourne than I do, and I allegedly live there!

That's because it just so happens to be my favourite city in Australia, perhaps worldwide

. And, also somewhere I really don't want to fly 15-20 hours each way in economy to get there while I still have enough miles/points to not have to do so! So, from where I live, when a decision between "use miles for 6 hours in business/first to Europe" or "use maybe 20-30% more to fly to Asia or Australia in business/first" comes up, the latter is the clear choice

.

I'll try to firm up the plans today, trying to get in a visit to DRW in front of this as I haven't been to NT yet. But I'm a "most likely" at this point, will go ahead and purchase ticket once it becomes confirmed.

Also as a head's up to those coming along. Innocent Bystander is an amex shop small participant if you decide to buy any wine.

One of the guys from work is interested, so will confirm with him tomorrow or Monday.

I have checked my calendar and now have to drop to Bronze. I am busy until late afternoon.

TheBOSman, it would be good to catch up whilst you are here. Maybe Sunday night after the tour?
