bossreggie AKL lunch [W/E Apr 27-29]

[Simo]

I also have a breakfast spot as I am diamond as well and travelling solo as well

 

[awilcockson]

If I can drag myself out of bed the next day I'd be happy to avail myself of one of the free breakfast spots. But that's a big if.

You will need food to soak up the alcohol remnants in your system

Thanks kpc

My flight details have been confirmed. Unfortunately the scheduling gods didn't line up, and I'm not going to be able to get away on Friday as early as I would have liked which means that QF isn't an option.

Fri 27 - NZ108 SYD-AKL. Depart 1840, arrive 2340.
Sun 29 - QF44 AKL-SYD. Depart 1830, arrive 2010.

Will be staying at the Pullman.

Friday 27 Apr QF417 SYD-MEL then QF131 MEL-AKL

Might see you on the flight. Will be slumming it in the J lounge!

I have just finished speaking with the company which is handling the winery tours.

In order to make this a great day, I have decided to steer away from the "Toyota Coasters" and "Kia Carnivals". I have arranged 2 Mercedes-Benz Vianos, so I am having to cap the numbers at 12.

The cost will be $100 each and includes pick-up and return to your hotel.

This means that we have the vehicles to ourselves exclusively and are able to stay and go at our leisure.

I am suggesting a 10:30 am pick-up with a return around 3:00 - 3:30

Wine tastings will be available and we will be looked after very well by a professional team.

If there are 6 people with flights in the 5:00PM or so time frame in the afternoon, One of the Vianos can take you directly to the airport rather than having to come back to the city. This would be at no further cost.

So, If you were thinking of a transfer in the evening, you would pretty much get the winery tour for free!! WIN!!

I will need definite numbers and payment ASAP and it will be on a first in basis.

Most of you have my details, so please let me know.

OK...I'm in. The only proviso is that I need to be back at the airport latest 4pm for a 530pm flight back to Sydney

How about we make this the cut-off. We will make sure at least one of the vehicles is at the airport at 4pm.

If you are on an earlier flight, then this won't work.

9 spots left as I have been texted by some attendees.

Boss.

OK...this works for me. TF money to you now!

 

[Ewing]

Sounds awesome.

Will also need to head back to the airport, but I'm on the 1830 so I guess I'll get some more lounge time

 

[steptoe]

PM sent. No rush for me, I am heading back on monday.

 

[bossreggie]

Ok... Space filling fast.

7 Spots left now.

Sorry I had to do it this way, however I think the smaller group will be better and it means those who are flying out Sunday evening get a chance to come along.

[bossreggie]

Down to the final 5.

Hi All.

Just spoke with the team regards the weekend.

Friday night @ Jervois...... I have booked the private dining area and capped the attendees at 12. I can not increase the numbers attending the Friday dinner at all.

Hoping to have a very "special" winemaker on hand to take us through the wines.

If you have not expressed your interest in this, please do so ASAP.

bossreggie

Is the wine maker still on board ?

Following a lot of feedback from a number of potential attendees. We revised the format of the evening. To go for a tasting menu with matching wine made the price a bit out of reach for a lot of people when combined with the Saturday lunch cost.

So we are going to be well looked after, however the cost will be a lot less than lunch.

I think I have already paid for two for the steak dinner. Has there been a revision on pricing?
Do you need any more from me?

Ooooooh - I really feel like I am missing the last bit of the party
I am so disappointed - I have a 4pm AKL-SYD flight with a connecting flight to CBR then a two hour drive home so there is no way I could have fitted in the wine tour as well!

This weekend is going to be such a hoot...
