Sidonee trip!

[thorfinn]

seedy_girl and myself have booked ourselves some v. cheap virgin blue flights to Sydney... We'll be arriving in Sydney airport at 7:45 am on Saturday 28th Feb (ouch), and leaving Sydney airport at 6:15 am on Monday 1st March (also ouch)...

Suggestions of stuff to do, people to see, and places to stay are welcomed here. Was thinking that brunch somewhere in Newtown on Saturday would be a damn fine idea, but any and all suggestions are welcome. This is a trip to see friends (having done the family thang at Chinese New Year), so hopefully we'll be able to catch up with oodles of people...

The Chinese Garden has pretty much won my heart when I visited there last year.

Woo!

Enjoy your time in Sydney. Don't forget to tell me all about it when you come back!

Love,
Ricky and Thomas

I actually finish work at about 7.30 am, so I can be at the airport at 8-ish and chauffer. And if you get stuck, we have a floor mat and sleeping bags - it's not a palace, but it's sleepable.

But you have to oil my wok.

The chauffeuring offer sounds great. Oiling your wok is definitely not a problem, assuming we stay there.

Have screened your comment re being up for newtown, domesticmouse since I'm assuming you would prefer not to have your mobile address visible to the entire world... However, I will indeed SMS you. At this stage I'm assuming brunch is probably starting maybe around 10-11 am.

Heh. Thank you. :-)

I'm flexible as to timing. Brunch, dinner, et al. All good. Newtown isn't to bad to get to from balmain. Oh, and if you need floor space to crash, have some spare...

Woo! I'm there.. and if you do go to the Chinese Gardens, I'm triple there! *g*
Let me know what's happening :)

Bog ole ditto from me too - haven't seen you in waaaay too long.

Perhaps, perchance, a yum cha at some stage :)

Ooo! Catching up with Melboure human combined with the wonder of Yum Cha, can I get in on that?

Re:

[thorfinn]

That would be v. cool.

Re:

Sunday sounds good... Got a good location in mind?

Re:

[thorfinn]

I'm thinking that might be cool. Have to consult seedy_girl, though, she may wish to do something else...

[jujulilianan.livejournal.com]

cool!!

hopefully will see you guys when you're up. a dinner-y thing would be fun.

Re:

Am thinking, at this stage, that saturday looks like brunch in Newtown (ideally with lots of coffee), then wandering around the chinese gardens, then maybe dinner at the Dixon St food court underneath on the corner nearest the gardens... Can't remember what they're called. All this is still up for discussion, though, haven't checked with seedy_girl yet...

I'd love to see the two of you again, so please let me know what you decide on doing when you've consulted with Miss Seedy. Brunch, yum cha, dinner all sound good. Count me in for any of them that I'm invited to ; )

oh crap. i will most likely be moving into my new flat on the saturday, so i will probably miss brunch.
:-(
ah well, keep me posted and i'll see what happens...

Hi there, thanks for your response... didn't realise you'd added me to your lj - added you back.
