Forum Fest 2015 Melbourne

[Aussie Brenda]

Sorry for you MF. Speedy recovery.  Yes quiet cool this morning. Getting excited now, I hope to get to the hotel around 10am tomorrow.. I haven't been into the city for decades looking forward to having a little look at the shops, see everyone at 2. 😛😛😛😛

[Bedlam]

So dissapointed Norma, take care X

[trudy]

Get well quickly Norma - we will all miss you!!!!

So glad your luck is on the up Chookie - perhaps Gert you should loan yourself out! 

Not long now!!

[Wonder]

CP, apologies for not sending a PM but I can't on my work computer for some reason. Can you please let me know if you are coming to Red Spice Road on Friday night? also apologies if you answered this earlier and I missed the response. I'll be updating the restaurant with the numbers today.

As the group is now at 20, the restaurant have also asked if we are able to let them know if there are any Dietary requirements they need to cater to within the banquet. Marina I've included you as vegetarian and my DD and I both do not eat seafood, but if there is anything else specific please PM me.

Norma, I've had to cancel holidays at the last minute on occasions due to my circumstances so I know how disappointed you will feel.  Do get well soon and hopefully wherever we meet up next year you'll be able to join us once more. xx

So Gert is our lucky charm,that means this FF is going to be a huge success. Glad to hear your luck has changed  Chookie.

Wonder, you already know my preference for Friday night dinner and I thank you for organising that.

My neighbour is taking me to the airport, I'm all ready to go so just vegging out in front of the TV.  I can't believe the day has finally arrived.

Kerry and I are at the airport waiting for the plane.

[Katiej]

Norma I'm sorry to read your news - I wish you a speedy recovery, take care.  You will be missed in Melbourne.

Safe travels everyone and have a wonderful time.  I'll be keeping an eye out for the photos. 

I'm sorry that I'm not able to make it.  Richard and his parents fly out to the UK tomorrow night, so I'll be spending the next 2 1/2 weeks home alone with only the dog for company.

[trudy]

At the airport - should be boarding shortly!

[judydawn]

Where are you Trudy, I can't see you

[troupie]

Have a fantastic time everyone and I will wave from the Melbourne airport tomorrow morning around 6am looking very tired.

[Katj]

I hope everyone travelling to the FF and those who already live near Melbourne have a wonderful time meeting each other or just catching up again.
I look forward to seeing all your pictures online. Travel safely ladies and a few gents.

Kezza and I are here and I know the Adelaide group were in the taxi as we waited for our luggage. It is quite cool here in Melbourne. I may even need a jacket!
I'm sorry that you have pulled out MF. Have you seen a doctor?  There is always next year.

I was dying ( well almost) for a cup of coffee so I popped down to the Woolies just down and over the road. Picked up some juice for when I wake up and milk for coffee. I then decided I was hungry so I grabbed some bananas and yoghurt.
I was disappointed in the breakfast on the plane. I had continental and it was yoghurt, and a little muesli, nut crunch bar and a slice of pear and raspberry bread, that was extremely sweet.

We're off to meet Chookie and Ral for pizza tonight.

Have booked a table at Papa Gino's for 15 for 6.
See you there.

I went for a walk after unpacking to see my SIL,  turned left instead of right, ran into Bedlam and her DH, kept walking then realised I was going in the wrong direction.  Came back past the hotel to start again then turned right instead of left.  Good thing Melbournites are friendly and helpful, eventually  found the shop but got lost again on the way back to the hotel. Talk about a hopeless case !
