Ouch! At least you can get home today.

But if I had stayed I would have been able to see the GP.

heh - ah well, could always watch the replay. I am not going this year, so watching from my chateau.

Cash fare, service desk fee ($35) waived. Small consolation is that I get flexi SCs. :-|

Hope it wasn't too expensive

Check Facebook for some photos.

Facebook?

"What do you mean you can't see my booking"?

Did you not have a booking?

Well I did ... eventually. My credit card helped the search process along no end.

I'm sure there's more to the story.

Jano Bistro was extremely accomodating. Six months of emails back and forth to get the details right.

The food was absolutely amazing. A great range of wines were matched with each course. I even tried some with the word 'pinot' in them. Others likewise tried wines they otherwise would not have.

Thank you to everyone who came along to the "Second Annual AFF New Zealand Gourmet Dinner".

Jswong, I hope the recycle bin had room for all the empties from the pre- and post- party.

Blackcat20 and I have already started the discussion about next year's event. Might be time we head to the South Island.

Thanks JessicaTam and blackcat20 for making the arrangements... someone always has to do the grunt work, and take the accolades or condemnation afterwards... in this case, of course, there are only accolades.

My first AFF catchup in quite a while (thanks for the nudge, you know who you are)... was good to meet a few new people.
