Great to see you all here! Especially our regular visitors.
BiziBB & Mrs BiziBB request plat, please - and we are happy to research during our Floriade visit. (that is on in CBR, Sept 17-Oct 16 if you are curious).
Thanks again to our hardworking organisers!

Please list me as Gold for now.
DRW was a lot of fun and I really want to do this, but with some work projects I already know are on the horizon, I won't be sure whether I can spare the time until after the first of the year.

If anyone needed to rely on ME updating the Platinum list accurately there would be 2 attendees each year. As I'd mess up the rest.
After Franny and Bob kindly popping over our Washington Dulles Hotel last month for lunch, after our aborted flight to Argentina due to volcano Ash, we will again ask the Australian Government to approve their viaa.
It is Mwenenzi who does the amazing job of tracking all the in/out/in/out jumping-jacks, and moveable feasts each year.
Thanks to the friendly co-operation of Community Moderator Cholula, who at my request just deleted my 4 early marker posts - all of Mwenenzi's marker posts are 4 higher up the list - and the Attendee list is now here -

As Bill commented, near 30 Platinums in a day is pretty amazing.

Last year was great. I wont be able to attend this year though as i can only pick one big DO each year and there's so much of the world to explore. It only took me a week (about 1/4 of my annual leave) to get there and back with my routing

Strewth I live here so I had better nominate as Platinum. Only problem being no FF points or hotel points.
Now if you live here in CBR or nearby you may also be interested in AFF Gathering #5 from Oct 7-9 2011. It could be a little taster of things to come.
At the very least you can advertise what a great time you had and spread the word about our little capital city.

Happy to nominate as Platinum.
Also, more than willing to help out with organising stuff on the ground, in cases where local presence may be required to talk to service providers/hotels/whoever.

It would be remiss of me not to nominate as Platinum, along with Mrs QF WP and mini #1 and 2. After missing DRW, we have organised holidays for much later in the year.
Hmmm, may only fly in Fri PM, otherwise mini#1 will just have to miss a day at Prep and mini#2 a day at Daycare.
Time to tell Mrs QF WP that she's going.
Where is Craigo?
