Barossa Valley Premium Wine Tasting and Lunch [Sun 10th Aug]

[gwilli1]

Great news Buzz. thanks for organising . Happy to sling what ever is needed .

Also in for the raffle.

(Rushes away to go and book the 6.30 flight now )

I'm sure I could swap for a bottle of Merlot or two :mrgreen:

I have called the coach company and made arrangements for the driver to return via the airport.
It is advisable that we still depart Penfolds by around 3.30 to ensure a 5.30 arrival as traffic heading towards the airport can get a bit busy on a Sunday evening.
As the return to Adelaide will most likely (pretty sure actually) take us past the 5.30 coach hire, would I be out of order suggesting those alighting at the airport sling the driver a few bucks (instead of a taxi fare) for his time and assistance?

Don't forget to bring any luggage with you if travelling to the airport.

Mrs GPH is trying to organise some tickets to the Saturday night game. I'm still up for chaperoning the girls at dinner . Anyway I ( or she) will keep you posted, assuming there is still a contingent going to watch the game.
I will get my fill of sporting excitement in AKL for the Bledisloe Cup in late August

If the Port vs Sydney match is anything like yesterdays match at the SCG , then those planning to head to the footy on the Saturday night are in for a treat . Two great sides that will be playing in September for sure.

 

[ALH]

I will be there

We were at the Adelaide oval last night for a very ho hum match. I now realise I prefer watching Power to Crows. And I'm a crows supporter

Last night's almost full moon.



If someone wants my barcodes they can purchase 10 tickets between our 2 memberships. I'd do it but I'll be in the Med. The seats will be in the western stands. I don't want to give the barcodes to 10 different people so anyone care to coordinate? The seats will be $50 each purchased through ticketek. And they'd need to be purchased the day they are released which is mid July.

There is another sale, but the 19:45 flight seems to be out of the super cheap tickets.

The 18:05 really is cutting it fine... hmmm

Is it really worth stressing out the whole day wondering if you'll get to the airport on time?

Take the 19:45 flight and spend some time in the ADL international business lounge.

Yeah, point taken... I am trying to combine with a car pool in MEL, which is probably pushing the envelope a bit too much with convenience... hmmm

Or take the first flight out on Monday morning. You would have to set an early morning wake up call, though.

Sometimes you just have to sit back and enjoy the moment without adding to the stress. This is one of the lessons I've learned as I'm getting older. Sometimes you just can't do it all.

Yep. I agree, it's difficult to let go, but when you do, it's really great

Had some of the 2008 Shiraz last night.
I think some more would be nice.

I suppose I should actually book flights for this event rather than decrying the lack of sales
