Double Platinum for you.
I remember you have been double Plat on previous Oz Fests (must be the QLD sun: too young for dementia)

I may have to buy some since its a 3 payday month in January. If only I had decided on hotels already the Orbitz $100 off Cyber Monday would have come in handy. It seems the hotel prices in AKL for before and after the main DO look good.
