Looks good to me cookie. I will join you in the Swanston. I deserve a nice room.

So it's going to be another quiet group lol

Great to be able to join the cooking class too.

The vouchers worked well & for me I ended up with iTunes which was great as I have an iPhone & Apple TV.

We may have company so Bubbles it is.  ;D

I'm sorry that I won't be able to commit to this. I would really love to come, but having recently started a full time job, I don't have a lot of holidays up my sleeve.
A dear friend from the UK is hoping she will be well enough to travel after chemo and wants to meet up in Singapore in October to sip a Singapore Sling in the Raffles Hotel!  :D
My dad is hopefully also coming over from the UK in November, so I need to save up my time off.
I am very jealous, though, and I know you will all have a ball! Maybe next time.  :)

It would have been nice to meet another WA member Sue, another time perhaps.

After Judy and Cookie crunched the numbers, I have sent an email  to Swanson and  Welcome Hoteld, asking for quotes for a group booking.  It is Cox Plate weekend.
Will let everyone know what happens.

Cooking class full with 3 on wait list. The 3 are my friends and know the situation. I have them there as a backup so that if someone must pull out, we can still get the cheap price.

Thanks Chookie - we have decided to fly across Friday morning & home Monday afternoon. It will be the first flight Alayna will actually know what she is doing so will be exciting especially as we live walking distance to the airport & she has grown up with planes nearby (plus the last time we saw her Aunty off she wanted to get on the plane) .... Exciting 😄

Thanks Trudy, but not doing it by myself.  I've got Judy and Cookie doing most of the work and Gert keeping me on the straight and narrow.

Kerry, that will be exciting for all of you. Alayna a is such a bright spark, she won't miss a thing. I look forward to see how she has grown.
