I just want to try to keep track of how many of us will be there and who will need accommodation.
So ...
Chrissy
Mandy
Delvzy
KateAly
Jenn ?
Trish
Racy
TammyWe all will have accommodation - I'll try to find a three bed apt for us if Jenn is staying, or we may have to get two two bed apts as there's quite a few of us - with a seperate room for Racy
Kylie - you may be able to come for one of the days?
Anyone else? Who have I missed?
Trish -
Trish, I thought Aly said she was coming as well........you may need to check on that as she will also need accommodation.
-
Yes she is Chrissy, she's on the list. Lol you are going blind!
-
Yup, going blind for sure.......lol
-
Looking forward to it, girls.
Roll on November. xxx
-
Trish, please add me to the list.... Looking forward to meeting everyone :-)
-
Yay!! Tammy, Fantastic!!! Looks like there will be quite a bunch of us.
-
Hi Tammy
Yay! Looking forward to meeting you.
Where are you from? Do you need accommodation?
Trish -
Trish, I will definitely come down, hoping to be able to stay but not sure yet x
-
Trish, I live in Sydney but I am thinking about staying. Can you let me know about the approx cost. Thanks!
-
Hello girls
I've done some research, and the cheapest accommodation I can come up with is Oaks on Castlereagh. For a 2 bed appartment with 4 people staying it's $676 for 2 nights. That's $169 each! For 2 nights! That's cheap! Especially for Sydney.Based on the names we have so far, we would need 2x2 bed apts and a single room for Racy - Racy a 1 bed studio is $396 for 2 nights. Racy I did look at the Hyde Park Inn (I like it there too) but it was nearly $200 a night more expensive for the 2 bed appts.
So - before I go ahead and book I need defenite numbers.
The ones I know for sure are:
ChrissyMandy
Kate
Trish
Aly
Delvzy
The one's I'm not 100% sure of are:
TammyJenn (I know you'll be there, but do you want accomm?)
Kylie?
And I also need to know whether you are willing to share a room (ie the 2 bed appts will have 4 people staying, so twin beds in each bedroom) if not and you would like your privacy (and that's ok!) let me know so I can reconfigure.
If we have more that come along after I book, we will probably be able to get more rooms, although the closer it gets to the dates it may be a bit harder, but I'm sure we'll come up with something :-)

Trish, I will need accom. I don't like to drive at night with these cataracts. Plus I don't want to miss out on anything :-)
Happy to transfer the money to your account or whatever you want...
Jenn -
Lol Jenn - I can remember the not driving at night with cataracts, it was a PIA. But I know the main reason is you don't want to miss out on anything lol.
If it works the same way it did last time, when I book I give them my credit card number, but they don't actually charge the card until check out. Will let you know if it's any different.

-
Hey Trish, thanks for researching. To make it simple, I will book my own room.
Ttyl ladies. -
Yup Trish, sounds good to me....I'm in. Likewise with the money, I sure can transfer to your account if needed just let us know. Getting so excited!!!! Yahoooo!!! Look out Sydney you are about to be invaded!!!
Love n hugs. Chrissy
-
Trish, I would love to stay but won't be financial for about another 6 weeks. If that is too late I will sort something out I am not missing this one x
-
Trish, I can transfer the money and happy to share accommodation.
Thanks so much for organising this, and I am looking forward to meeting you all and having a great time. xx
-
Hi ladies, QANTAS has a sale on at the moment for our travel dates.
-
Kylie, don't stress about the money - I haven't actually booked yet, and as I said, if it's like last time they won't actually charge the credit card until we actually check in - which isn't until the end of November. Plenty of time to save!
Trish -
Hi there
Happy to share as well. If you need money let me know.
I am so excited about meeting you all, that is except Chrissy who I know well and can't wait to see again.
-
Thanks Trish. x
-
Trish, you still up for picking Mandy and I up from the airport? It was you who offered? Oh gosh my memory is just awful at the moment, too many things being stuffed into my head......lol.
Can't wait to see you Aly!
Love n hugs. Chrissy
-
Yes Chrissy it was me, and yes I'll pick you up! No problems
Trishxoxo
-
Thanks Trish that means I don't have to think about it now but I will forward the flight and time close to.
Love n hugs. Chrissy -
Trish, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I live in Sydney but I would like to stay in town with everyone :-)
My preference is for my own room in a 2 bedroom apartment...but if the numbers work out better for me to share a room or even to take my own room I'm flexible.... Thanks for doing all the research....
I will probably drive into the city so if anyone else needs a lift then let me know.... -
Looks like it will be a big weekend!
-
As I sai Racy look out Sydney you are about to be invaded.......lol
-
Hey ladies, a reminder about our get-together. Trish, is it Oaks hotel near Chinatown where we are staying?
Looking forward to it!
-
Ok I have just booked at Oaks on Castlereagh Fri 29 and Sat 30 November!
