Many thanks to straitman for bringing this event to my attention. Firstly, please colour me platinum. No flights for me - I can walk to the city from where I live (but won't). Secondly, thank you to penegal and serfty for their nice comments. I always enjoy getting together with AFF and FT folks who "get" our passion for travel.
To the organisers - please let me know where I can help, whether it's for restaurant recommendations, hotels or transport. New restaurants are popping up constantly. It's difficult even as a local to keep up, but, having said that, I have a couple of places in mind.
Oh, and thanks for choosing CHC as your next visit. There are still many challenges here but it is moving forward rather quickly with a large number of city sites currently under development.
If anyone has any questions re CHC, please feel free to contact me.
