Holiday Inn Old Sydney - NYE 2013/2014

[777]

Yeah the OPT is ship-free on NYE. It's something we watch out for very closely in the restaurant...

Perfect! Should have guessed you'd know these things!

 

[cove]

Yes it is definitely going!

Yes it is definitely going!

They were just doing a safety drill as we came back on the ferry 10min ago.

Sydney Ports - Cruise Schedule

There was an event recently that I seem to remember that a cruise ship recently put itself into a prime view on the harbour blocking the view of spectator craft. The Navy Review?

Honestly 777 it was just a throwaway line! What I meant to say was, the first few times I saw it, it reminded me of Craig Thomson and my feeble brain took a while to work out that it was the VA guy... Yours is one of my favourite avatars.

Thanks to the AFF team. I hope it wasn't too busy/noisy for you but I did warn you... Also sorry that I didn't get to chat to everyone. I went to get a glass of water and wound up on bar duty!

Well at least there's no doubt about your avatar.

Of course, every time I see it, I think, "Mmmmm... donuts...." rather than the more appropriate, "Mmmmmm.... Thai...." :mrgreen:

Just flew in from Nadi after spending Xmas on one of the islands......on the 5th floor, great full view of the opera house!! (passed a staff member as I was heading up to check out the roof top tonight and without thinking I said Bula.....still in Fiji mode!)

Some AFFers relaxing in the HI lobby bar.

Another great AFF dinner. .and good to catch up with old and new faces

Always interesting to hear from AFF members in a social setting.
Swinging the hotel for points for New Years Eve is quite impressive.
Now the secret to getting first class tickets is.........(too old to remember)

Very enjoyable evening
Great to meet up with new people
I hope all who are staying there have a wonderful night tonight

 

[feezable]

We have tickets to sit on the Cahill expressway tonight, above Circular Quay station. I will wave a the HI. You're bound to see me
