Cathies I hate to be "that" person and be horribly noncommittal. It's hard for me to plan a day yet as we are staying with friends and I need to be flexible to their schedule, and I don't know yet what days DH might want to bird (and possibly go to Royal National Park).

If he wants to bird, then dinner will be better. But then my friends might have dinner plans. It is hard to tell this far out! My best guess would be to say maybe Monday afternoon/evening (if we are back from the farm, unknown yet). Or possibly jan 1, ,2 or 3 for lunch, or 1 or 2 for dinner. I really hate to not know what to tell you yet. Can we still ballpark it as Bokhara mentioned above? I would hate to be in Sydney and not get to meet you!

That's ok, I completely understand. Maybe a tentative plan to meet at Hugo's at manly on jan 2? Run it past your hosts of course.

When will you be here Annhig? Would be great to meet you too, if you'd like.

I know you & Toucan will miss each other but you know we Sydneysiders are a social bunch - any excuse for a vino & a laugh with a fellow traveller!

Yep, always up for a bite to eat and a drink! It would be very nice to meet Anne too.

Sounds good. Closer on we can firm things up.
