Hello folks, back on FT for the first time today after my self imposed FT ban during my holiday .

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who made it over to Bali for contributing to a great time, and we didn't do half as much as you lot did. Kudeta and Mozaic were both great, and the 5 minute hop back to the FS Sayan after Mozaic was a nice bonus for us .

Ceri loved meeting you and is very impressed by this whole FT 'thing' and at the diversity of the origin and current locations of all those in the group. We enjoyed both the RC in Bali and the FS Sayan immensely and we just had a great 3 days in Vietnam as well. It's a pity she didn't manage to make it out to Equinox last Tuesday but she'll see it at some point I'm sure. There are worse places to be than being stuck in a suite at the RC in Singapore I suppose. I am also going to have difficulty getting her on any other airline or in Y for any future travel after her first Raffles long haul expereince. Spoiled for life

I must put in a special thanks to Gaz for his invaluable assistance to us when we arrived at Changi last week ^ . Not bad a fan of....... nah, I've been there already . Cheers mate, we owe you one, not least for the special treatment at the RC ^ .

November will be difficult for me to be honest, unless it's 19/20 when it would be a 'possibility'. As I visit Saigon 4 or 5 times a year I'd be delighted to help if you want any advice, and will be gutted if you go there when I'm not there
