Hi Pat!

Five weeks from Friday for me! Can't wait either! I'll be standing in the driveway, Margo, waiting for Mucky to be kicked out! It's freezing in Wisconsin, too. Can't wait to feel the heat of Australia!

TTT for Pat

On December 29 we are having dinner at Forty-One due to the raves about it on this site. Anyone care to join us?

Out of my price range at present, I'm afraid.

But, stunning views, and great food, and, usually, excellent service (although I had a dud experience with service and haven't been back!)

That's disappointing, Margo. Do you think that their service is deteriorating? I would hate to be disappointed at those prices! Let me know if you hear about anyone else being disappointed. Thanks!

Hi all,
We're not getting in from Cairns until the evening of Dec 29, so unfortunatly, we can't make it. SMchrissy you are on FIesta Cruise for NYE correct? Maybe we'll be docked near each other before the boats set out for the evening. It is sooooo cold here in NJ I can't wait to get to warm weather.
Cheers,
Pat

Yes, Pat, we are on the Fiesta Cruise. It is cold here in Wisconsin too! Not much snow yet, just miserable cold! I can't wait to get to the warm weather. Only 23 more days now!

Since I have now heard from our hotel that we may not have a view of the fireworks afterall (very disappointing at this stage) I would love to still meet up with some of you if possible at other times. My husband and I were thinking of reserving at 41 for one of the nights we are in Sydney so we could possibly meet smchrissy on the 29th. What time is your reservation? Also we will be in Palm Cove for Jan.7,8,9th at Sebel Reef House.It sounds like you might be there at the same time as us. Love to hear if there is a meeting place sometime in Sydney between Dec.27th and NYE. Cheers, Barb

Hi Barb,

our reservations at 41 are for 7. that is great we will be at Palm Cove the same time. I can't recall the name of the place but I'll let you know. how many people are in your party?

Hi, smchrissy: My husband Mike and I will be doing the Australia, New Zealand worldwind tour by ourselves as a somewhat celebration of 10 years together! We would enjoy meeting up with you and your party at 41 if you wouldn't mind the company. If you'd like you can email me direct at [email protected] and we can work out the details. I'm getting really excited about the trip since it's now less than two weeks to leaving. Cheers, Barb
