JessicaTam and I were so pleased with the turnout for our AKL dinner this year that we've decided to do it again! This time we are taking the dinner to WLG, so lock in Saturday March 19. Venue to be advised.

A few of us shall be flying out of Sydney on the Friday and will be dining in the F lounge as per this year's event.

ARGH I wish I could make my participation 2 for 2 as I much prefer WLG to AKL, but alas I will have no vacation time even if the flights worked themselves out . Sadly bronze/copper/not going, barring a miracle.

Maybe for now.. I'll have to think about it. At least it's a bit easier for me to decide closer to the time!

 

[TheBOSman]

Booooo

Currently efforting a trip down end of 2016 when I will have vacation time again though . Just started a new job a few days ago, will give me plenty of vacation time but can't use any for the first 6-8 months. And of course, miracles (read: airline fare and booking engine mistakes) do happen from time to time .

Bronze for me - I'll be overnighting in PTY .

I have emailed the restaurant we are hoping to get into, but have yet to get a reply. As soon as they get back to me, we will be able to put up some more details.

 

[perk]

Sounds good. A bit far away for me to absolutely know I'll be in town but it's likely a yes. Color me gold.

Not sure. Are school holidays on around then? Fares will need to be competitive probably bronze at this stage.

Don't think so. It's the weekend after the Labor Day weekend in Vic.
