Scratch myself and Bob (my +1) out... we've just had a cancer diagnosis and we'll still be in treatment then

Sorry to hear, hope everything is ok.

Sorry to hear that.
You are in a good space in this community. Many caring people, some of whom are also undergoing treatment and some who, like me, are currently in remission.
I know treatment can be onerous, but you will beat this.

If you feel like talking, I’m here…

Please forgive me JT. not on topic but I felt this may be useful.

@scubabe You may find the general medical issues thread useful

@JessicaTam Can you provide a link please - my IT skills in this are limited

Flight over booked. I'm in 2A. A330

I've been wanting to try Sofitel So so have booked there from Friday-Sunday (but a flexible rate pending first reviews as it's not open yet). Will likely fly home Sunday afternoon.

For the Accor Plus people, there is Stay Plus available. The rates there are eyewateringly expensive, but that dropped the rate for my stay to something a bit more reasonable (basically saved NZD$500)

 

[Simo]

Very interested

 

[JessicaTam]

I am currently in discussions with both Giraffe and Euro. I would prefer Giraffe, but they seem to be wanting us to order in advance. I will ring them and discuss options! Euro is the backup.

Mrs L and my flights are booked. QF147 SYD-AKL dep 1645 arr 2155 on Friday. We are flying out on QF154 to MEL on Sunday at 1205.

I have asked @support to write the wiki for me, so that should be up in the next few days. Pretty please!

We are on QF 145 SYD-AKL dep 1215 on Friday and returning ALK-MEL QF154 (thence SYD) on Sunday so will probably miss you in the F lounge on the forward journey, but no doubt will catch up at the airport and / or on board on the return, after the festivities.

We get in from HKG at 0955 so we should cross paths. I didn’t book the 1215 as we wanted a bit of time to recover from travelling in Y!

Understand completely. We will probably get to the F lounge around 10.00 am.

It looks like Giraffe is firming up. Some shared platters for entree followed by a small choice for mains and desserts.

I will make sure that the mains have a selection of meats/vego options.

I have asked for an approximation of price so we know what to expect.

 

[BVT]

I am now unable to attend this jamboree. Apparently, I am going to a wedding in Noosa! have fun!

My daughter has just arrived home from a Jamboree.

After reading your post I looked up whether jamboree had a general meaning apart from Scout events and I learnt something new. The word is a great description of this upcoming event.

 

[BVT]

Beano would also work.

 

[trader10]

In if possible

 

[JessicaTam]

In if possible

But of course. The initial booking is for 16, but there is room to move.

I will be finalising menu and cost in the next week or two.

Our HKG flight has been changed so now we are getting into SYD at 1205. Good thing I picked the later flight. *phew*

 

[serfty]

Seems I'm coming through that day with a 5am to 2pm AKL transit ... off to the USA.

So close but so far.
