2012 AFF Christmas Event and Dinner [22nd Dec, Melbourne]

[anchew]

Anyone from Melbourne flying up on QF416?

 

[kpc]

I'll be in the JQ check in line a few minutes before T-3 hours at around 945am

I also got the same message and we'll be joining you at 0945.

I reckon there will be 20+ AFFers in this Q tomorrow!:mrgreen:

At least the AFFers will make waiting in that Q enjoyable

I'm trying to think who it was last time in the queue that yelled out "Danger!" when Danger showed up

That was the anytime access wake, I remember that and don't think we should repeat it

 

[anat0l]

Just checked my Hilton reservation and I've been upgraded to a 2 Bedroom Suite. w00t

Anyone who needs a place to crash is welcome to have their own bed and space... and a place to throw up if need be*


* room cleaning charges may apply

Where/When are us lounge less-lovelies gathering to be let in for drinks?

 

[munitalP]

I think everyone should meet downstairs at say 1630 onwards. That way we can also organise our "partners" where required

No, but I am on JQ572 which leaves 5mins earlier than you

And JQ are sorely mistaken if they think I'm going to be sitting in 29C, their OLCI system leaves lots to be desired sometimes. It wouldn't even let me move! :shock:

Arrived and waiting @ the HSW. Am I the first?

anat0l.....Hilton has looked after us (yet again) as well, with a two bedroom city view apartment upgrade from a queen double double. What a wonderful gesture and we also recieved a very warm welcome back from the front desk, along with a 10.30 check-in to suit our plane arrival.

Lisa was only here for an hour and had 4 new pairs of shoes and tried on at least 300 dresses :shock:. As much as I love these AFF functions, I hate having to give the credit card a heart massage to jump start it after each shopping visit! (I sooth my nerves by reminding myself of the points accrual )

Now, who's Christmas party will I crash :mrgreen:. There's one on right now on the exec lounge deck (I wonder if they'll notice me)!

I thought the pain would be more that you have to go all around with her, appraising her outfits ("does my.....") and shoes and carrying the purchases around like a gentleman *cough* *porter!* *cough*.

Yes, all that happened. I felt like a beast of burden rather than just the usual beast! I did however, also score a new pair of shoes myself. Looked, found, tried and bought within 5 minutes. My new shoes were almost worn out by the time my better half had one pair ...............

I feel cheated

We shouldn't repeat what?

Waiting in the JQ Q? Or shouting "Danger"?

Remember that (normally) drinks only start at 6pm so no point in being too early and depriving the women of some shopping time.

Or their beauty sleep

So if we arrive a little later, whats the go?

Personally I cannot help as there are actually two people on my booking.

Sorry, that sounds a little blunt but I have no idea.

Don't complain...I'm in a standard guest room!!!:shock: Do Diamonds get a choice of lounge or restaurant for breakfast at HSW?
