19/7 Hilton Melbourne South Wharf
20/7 Hilton on the Park

That should ensure my DJ Gold "bump up to Gold" stays as Gold for the length it says on my card.

We'll miss one another - damn, would have been nice to reverse the Exec Lounge drinks invite

Slight change of plans - now going to be in MEL on the Thursday as well as Wednesday!

Will be in MEL 6-8 Aug. But HSW is out of my price range that week, so will be at HI instead. Looks like I may catch beardoc again for breakfast in SYD.

Excellent. Drinks and a meal o canapes) on the deck of the HSW Exec Lounge on Thursday night then?

 

[simongr]

Sounds like a plan - but subject to the weather...

Nice views and really good rooms. (taupo)
Didn't eat in the restaurant , but a friend did and said it was really good ,
Great burger spot on the esplanade on the corner. I had a small burger, thought it was the best I ever had.

A nice day / morning can be had on the lake if you want to catch a trout
Have a nice trip

Yes, even though this years' trip was for my 45th birthday, when she advised that she wanted a HOLIDAY not a trip to the other side of the world (USA) for catch ups with our friends and family (only visiting 3 cities). She wants less time lookin after the kids and more time lounging by a pool, with a drink in her hand and the kids in onsite daycare or being looked after bythe awesome local nannies...

I heard what she said and lucky I hadn't booked anything, but within 48 hours have 2 of 3 flights and every nights' accom (bar the Novotel at AKL Airport). She and Miss LW get to fly up the pointy end on both flights so far (Master LW on the AKL/BNE flight as well), I'm slumming it in Y on all sectors at present (with Master LW on one).

Looks like my Boeing trip will have to be on ice for another year...

Interesting holiday planned - sandy beach one day, tranquil lake the next. How are you travelling between Fiji and Taupo? And what was the going rate (without HMCC reduction)?

You'll survive Y just fine. It's just like a domestic flight. (If you're taking the propellers to Taupo, might need to think about ear plugs / muffs for the kids - don't want to ruin their hearing at a young age).



I should probably think about a random Hilton night somewhere - need a 4th stay by September-ish to secure my HH Diamond.

20-22nd July Hilton South Wharf

Second meeting with NM last night, this time in the Hilton Sydney. This is becoming a trend!

Relaxation holiday with contrasting vistas. Hiring a car from AKL airport as we'll need it at Lake Taupo - and to get us back to AKL and to airport.

IIRC, ~$490 AUD per night with the Getaway discount, with HPC discount ended up being $386.

You'll survive Y just fine. It's just like a domestic flight.

I'll be gritting my teeth and thinking of the SC's and points

Your off to Fiji 3 weeks before us.

Shall I warn them you're coming? We're going to take over some resources for the local kids - gives Mrs LW s chance for shopping in AKL.

Holiday sounds great LW, brownie points galore

That's the plan - shelve my USA and JASA plans for another trip. I'm using some of those brownie points this weekend, so don't expect to come home with many remaining

Was good to meet up for a coffee in the lounge. Hope the rest if your stay was enjoyable.
