I can't complain then, we get lovely 15C, yesterday was heavily raining and windy as hell, even some poor guy died because he got hit by a falling tree.

Monday they say 32C, though.. April weather in June it seems..

I envy you guys.. I wished I had planed another MR to meet up there.. drink some Dom for me ^

Cheers, Powers

Powers, you wont miss us. We'll be in the Terrace Bar (which is right beside the restaurant). We have the whole place to ourselves. See you tomorrow. Everyone will pay at the entrance...

About 20 of us now at the bar. Good times.

Linen trousers checked for unsightly VPL, rolled and packed. I cannot believe I agreed to head out to Dubai tomorrow. Heaven help me, what was I thinking???? :p

Looking forward to joining the troop on Saturday, with plentiful supplies of Advil ;)

Well the 4 of us on LH630 from FRA have made it. Well, given the size of the passport line, DYKWIA might still be in line (we tried to flag you down, but you didn't see/hear us). The rest of us were whisked past everything thanks to Hippo72's HON status.

Was hoping there were some late drinkers, but I'm not getting any text responses, so I'll assume you all passed out. :)

Sadly the man with the phone (eightblack) passed out early but alex0683de, derekmines and myself just got kicked out of the Belgian Beer Cafe at the Crowne Plaza Festival City at 3am!

Even to just follow this thread is so awesome!!

YuropFlyer Jun 23, 2011 5:48 pm

Maybe you kept ordering too little? I never get kicked out when in a bar :D

You escaped alive? Just barely, probably. We'll be looking for cougar scratches when you show up at the brunch! :D

burj al kaifa ticket
 
Any one want my 6pm tonite Burj ticket? I will bring it to the brunch in a few minutes.

I think I cracked a rib latelate last night (sober, just dizzy) when I took an unexpected curtsey in my room.....quite painful but not life threatening.....

Bought in USA for US$28 or 100AED,,,,

Onn my way...

eightblack just stepped up again. I guess all DO attendees just got their booze covered. :D

8. If you complain about the heat - the first round of drinks is on you.

Oops! What a diplomatic way to get away from picking up the tab! :p

Folks, have plenty of fun. This really seems to be a very interesting DO.

Stanscan, alex0683de and I are the last men standing at the Park Hyatt. The cuban cigars SMART51 bought us just about tipped us over the edge.

We're trying to chat up Aussie EK crew, but they are just laughing at us from a distance.

The Park Hyatt out did themselves with the brunch. We ate like drunk Romans.

Wish you were here. If my wife rings, tell her I am in Manila....
