MEL dinner/drinks Sat 21 December

[JessicaTam]

Does he have to sit on [-]Santa's[/-] your lap in lieu of a seat?

Sitting on my lap is strictly by invitiation only.

Just remember though, you'd get to find out if penegal had been naughty or nice. Surely that's enough incentive!

I think I already know the answer to that one. :mrgreen:

Do we all know the answer to that one?

I think it's something along the lines of 'what has been seen can't be unseen'

Not enough mind bleach?

Not enough mind bleach?

Not in the entire world!

A friendly reminder that dinner is $55 per person. The restaurant takes Amex.

As I have paid a deposit I have asked 2 people to pay in cash to allow the refund to be repaid - TKWTA

I am looking forward to a great night.

I can give you the $55.00 in cash.

Already covered thanks Bundy Bear, but I appreciate your offer to sacrifice CC points.

If Aeolus is staying at HSW specifically to attend, she can have a seat / my seat at dinner... Can we slip to 17 or is that pushing the friendship?

I am still on the fence as I am still not sure what's happening at work.

Speaking of which, I still have bookings at the PH SYD, SoTP SYD, PH MEL, HoTP MEL and HSW MEL for this Saturday night... Time to start cancelling

When I asked if we could go higher, the best I could manage was "maybe one more" which would be to 16. You have until 9am tomorrow morning to choose which hotels to cancel.

All of them?... I am definitely not going to Sydney, it's just a case of whether I can get to the Melbourne do or not (which now has a confirmed location...)

As I say - give Aeolus my spot and I may or may not show up.

 

[penegal]

And Murphy's Law - The HHonors website is in a change window, so can't log in

Also, can't view reservation on Hilton.com because I have to be logged in.

Will try again later

Hilton's back up - my $99 room is showing as "KING HILTON EXECUTIVE ROOM" which does not mean a great deal at this venue for a Diamond.

I notice that a cheaper rate has popped up for me, so have swapped my flexible booking.

At this stage this diamond still had the base room

Same here, except for the $99 bit.
