Oo it's feeling like it is really happening now.
DH and I are leaving next Sunday.

I'm so jealous Bedlam. We haven't driven over the Nullabor for a couple of years. I miss it. If you get a chance there will be whales out from the Nullabor road house.

[Bedlam]

Thanks Cookie now I am feeling excited. 
I am not looking forward to dropping my Bub at a respite carer Sunday morning but after that  will enjoy I am sure.
Looking forward to seeing all you lovely people.

Wondering if we made an arrangement for dinner on Sat night?

Seems like a few of us will be there for dinner on Thursday as well.

So looking forward to a group hug and a glass of.

I haven't been on here much recently so will need to read through this thread to find out what arrangements have been put in place to make sure I don't miss anything.

How exciting. It is getting close.
AA , Yum Cha cooking class.  Have been in touch with them this morning to firm up arrangements.  They are ringing back.  When all OK will post full names and details.

Have also made enquiries at Brunetti Cafe/ restaurant in Lygon Street for Thursday Night Dinner for 6.30 pm . It is a glitzy cafe that serves coffee, cake, pasta, and Pasta. Etc.  Can look on Internet for menu and prices.   I think you can use the free trams to get there.  Gert, Norma, Ral and I will be having dinner there. Anyone else interested is welcome.  Just let me know so I can give them numbers.

If it is decided that the group dinner is to be at the Hotel, I think they do a discounted, DBB. I think it is a set menu, to be decided before hand.
More later.

Thanks Chookie, put me down for Thursday night please.

I'd love to come with you on Thursday night too please. I'm not sure about the free tram going that far. I will try and check as I have the PTV app. (Public transport Victoria )

[achookwoman]

Cookie, please check. I really have little knowledge of public transport. Thanks
Cookie and Judy, names on list.

[cookie1]

I'll get in touch with Kerry too and ask her.

[fundj&e]

i am IN for Thursday nights dinner, thanks ACW

[cookie1]

Kerry has asked that she be included for Thursday night dinner too please.

I THINK that we are out of the free tram zone for dinner. http://www.yarratrams.com.au/media-centre/news/articles/2014/free-cbd-tram-zone-from-1-january-2015/
The free zone seems to stop at the markets and in Swanston St it stops at Melbourne Central.
To travel to Brunetti  it is 1 zone only and we need to walk about 380 metres.
DD usually does all this so I may well be wrong. Hopefully not.

Thanks for looking into it Cookie.
