Thankyou ladies - Dad is out of hospital & has been diagnosed with spasm angina. Whilst worrying it's good to have an answer and hopefully medication & action plan will help.

Mcmich that's a nice bonus.

You're right Kerry, it's good to put a name to health problems. Nice to hear Dad is out of hospital.

Great news Kerry. There is a little kitchen shop outside The Welcome hotel in Little Bourke St Mich and a lovely lot of new shops over the road for you to dispose of your $60.

Yes its good to have him out of hospital, sounds like he is doing ok with the medication but will check it out tomorrow when I visit.

We have decided to go with the Welcome Hotel & upgrade to a privilege room to get more room plus a sink etc which will come in handy with Alayna as it easier to have breakfast in our room with her.  At least we will be closer this year if we need to take Alayna back to the room.

Next flights.

Yay a little holiday to look forward to  :)

I'm still here and noting. We have plenty of time up our sleeves  to organise tours.

Hate to sound like a Diva but I have you know that  there is a dress code called  "Feather Boa"  with anything that I organise (yep, all partners are in on this also). You can wear whatever you like but you have to have a feather boa. Another thing you will need to have is a masquerade mask. This must be brought along to anything after 6pm. I don't care if it's a paper plate with 2 eyeholes cut in it, but if you think about embellinshing this it will take it to another level.  Going over the top is so much fun and sets the mood, so go all out  xox

PS. Can all peeps please PM me their personal details - someone needs to be a control freak and I'm offering my services  :D Copy and paste this:

Include:
Full name/s:
Address:
Home phone:
Mobile phone:
emergency contact number 1:
emergency contact number 2:           (If applicable)
Email:
Date of arrival:
Date of departure:
No. of people:
Accommodation booked into:
How are you planning to arrive and what time is your flight arriving:
How are you planning to depart and what time is your flight departing:

During my stay I am interested in:
Alleys and arcade tour: yes / no (delete applicable)
Tramcar restaurant : yes / no
Victoria Market tour: yes / no
Anything else?

Alyce Alexander class is in place and other arrangements will be fitted in around.


Will do our own thing and meet up after 6pm:

Here is the tricky part ( and I am on my IPad mini which is not behaving ATM and I will need to amend later)
Do you know of any businesses that can give us a special deal or discounts?

Do you have any allergies or anything that may be good to bring to our attention, and this can include disabilities, phobias, expectations,  etc:
Please note that we are not a professional tour company and so you are making a booking in good faith  based on your own capabilities. You may also arrange to have a tour buddy who is aware of important medication or medical issues who will be able to assist you should  it be necessary.  We recommend you take out travel insurance under all circumstances as there is no cancellation policy.

If you have any issues or queries please let me know and when I have an answer I'll let you know. This is not a professional tour so we may not be able to answer your queries straight away , but we'll try ;)

Thanks for stepping up to the plate CP, these trips always need a Mother hen  ;D  I can't wait to see the guys in their feather boas and masks. It sounds like fun and would certainly make us stick together and not wander away from the group.  :D

I won't be coming to the Forum Fest, however I'm not sure whether any of you gals have heard of ''The Melbourne Shopping Spree bus Tours'  (Formerly called The Pink Bus Tours).
I have heard from ladies that it is really a good fun outing, which includes pick ups from Hotel, shopping outlet stores, glass of wine, lunch.
All details are on the website. Just a thought  :)

CP you are too kind. Thanks. Will send you the details sometime today.

Thanks Katj. I have been on a shopping  tour before so would probably not do it again, however for those that haven't it could be fun.
If anyone is interested there is a bus that will take you to Chadstone Shopping Centre from the city and return later in the day for no cost. It leaves about 10 near Federation Square and leaves Chadstone about 3/3.30 or so. I've done that several times and it is fun.
I'm sure we won't have any trouble filling our time.
