It seems to have dropped further, so I cancelled and rebooked...

I have managed to track down the scalper and convince them to sell me a ticket at a non inflated price. :shock:

Time for some flight bookings.

Wow... there's a blast from the past ;-)


Sad I cant make it, but I'm sure you'll all have a blast of a time...

Mrs GPH is planning an excursion to Gaganis Bros to buy stuff we can't buy in the bayside. Anyone want to come along. It has (apparently) a fairly impressive array of cooking stuff, and foodstuffs. Big italian influences. Cheese meats etc. It could be an expensive trip . We plan on doing this Saturday morning. Not sure if there will be tinned haggis on sale though ! ( with no reference to princess Fiona)

 

[Buzzard]

If you are after Italian I would also suggest this place is worth a visit:

Banquet Food Wholesalers - Albert Park South Australia | Yelp

 

[romney]

Yep, I know a lot of people who rave about Banquet! Haven't been there myself yet though.

 

[Deleted member]

That's what I love about you lot. Mention one one to spend money. ..... And you all come up with more options. . I think this is going to be a good weekend. Thank goodness for WP luggage allowance. !!

 

[gwilli1]

A reminder that tickets for the Saturday night AFL match, go on sale this Tues 15th July @ 9am through Ticketek.

I caved and booked some flights... I am on the later QF service back to MEL. I didn't want to miss the earlier one.

 

[RooFlyer]

Not happy Jan. Second one of these I'm missing.

Buzzard, you are tasked with enjoying my share. Cheque is in the mail ( metaphorically speaking).

Looks I'll be able to take the Adelaide nona's shopping. They can't have known about this one or they would already have taken me there on one of my (many) requests for South Australian produce. I'm a bit obsessed. I've flown home from Port Lincoln with 30 kilos of live Coffin Bay Oysters in my luggage.

So we might see you on the flight then

So we might see you on the flight then

Maybe... If we do get to the airport on time (at 5:30pm), I will ask to fly ahead

 

[QF WP]

If things come off (client-wise), I may now be staying Sunday and possibly Monday night. Now to split our award booking and get another J seat on the Tuesday AM flight.

Glad to see my arm twisting worked, penegal

 

[Princess Fiona]

We have our babysitter locked-in
Really looking forward to this !
