I've changed the address in the first posting for anyone else wanting to book online.

I've booked. In 23d and out on 27th. Mountain view room with an old persons discount. $195. I'm excited already. Must get the flight booked. I have a credit from our cancelled Melbourne trip. It should just about cover it.
MF are you flying Qantas or Virgin?

Flying Qantas cookie. Leaving on 23rd at 7.25 am and departing 27th at around 5pm. Can check exact times as the times I have just given you are just off the top my head although fairly accurate

Thanks Katie

Best to call them Denise as it took me 3 emails and 4 phone calls to finally get my booking confirmed. Only mountain view rooms available now but that's ok as I am sure the rooms are all the same size only the view different. We will be out most of the time so view not that important. Sooooo pleased you are coming  ;D

I did not want to miss out on all the Sunday fun so changed my Qf flight to Monday at a cost of $119   >:( which was a bit of a shock but the lovely QF gal talked me into it by saying what a great time we will have and I talked her I to a Thermomix. She said she was booking a demo as someone in her same office had just bought one and guess what?   She was in Hobart. At least with QF you get an Australian call centre at least for the moment.

Sent an email to Natasha at the GCH so hopefully I won't get the boot from my room Nd have to share Judy’s king bed ;D ;D

So what are we doing Sunday?

Great news Gert and if it has to be my bed then it has to be.  I'll just have to put up with your snoring  :D  I think the charge is over the top too.  We could just eat, drink and be merry on Sunday if no-one comes up with a place to visit but I'm sure there will be something to do.

Natasha is no longer working at the GCH so now we deal with the lovely Alana. Apparently I had already booked  the room for Sun night. Turns out the lovely QF rep Gabby only charged me $77 to change my booking. Win!

My flights are booked as there is a sale on again so I took advantage. Leaving Perth 7.25 am, same as MF and then on flight QF 1505 from Melbourne to Hobart with MF and Gert.
I'm leaving Hobart on 27 th at 9.45am and arrive in Perth about 2.10pm. An earlier flight than MF I think.

I can get really excited now.
