I have been told by SWMBO (Sue Oz) to investigate being there. :roll eyes:

As two of the last hangers on left in Canberra after Oz Fest we are keen to try and be there.

Or maybe it was the after-after party... SHHhh....

Either way, I am investigating some flight options, hopefully to tie into other plans around that time. There are some very tempting CX fares in 'I' class which I may have to use, and have a 'stopover' in SIN.

I'm in! Just booked my flights on UA, arriving late Thursday night and departing Tuesday morning. Been wanting to attend this Do for years and am pumped that it's finally going to happen!

*update: Turns out this is going to be my first-ever longhaul premium cabin flight (yeah, it's just United Business-First, but still...for me, it's a big deal )! And on ORD-HKG-SIN, no less--21 total hours of flying time to luxuriate and enjoy. SO pumped! I was able to work some magic by purchasing about 25k bonus miles against an upcoming award trip to EZE for a total of $460, which gave me enough to upgrade to Business on the SIN Do trip. Woo hoo!

Hi, I'd like to come as well. Just completed my first Do in Dubai and loved it. I have been wanting to visit Singapore for a long time but haven't been able to coax any of my friends along. This is the perfect way for me to get there and to meet some new friends as well. Count me in.

I have booked said CX flights in 'I' class.

Arrival:
CX178 MEL 0100 - HKG 0710 17 JAN (333 with 'new' J)
CX759 HKG 0910 - SIN 1300 17 JAN (773 with old regional J - we can prey for an equip. change)

Accom:
TBA - If I still have an apartment in SIN, I will stay there... However I am about to be promoted at work, which could affect how long I spend in SIN each month, which in turn may push me back to hotels.

Departure:
Currently booked on the evening of 1/21, with some flexibility, as I will probably just nest another ticket and return to SIN on the morning on 1/22.

I'd be up for this, as I'm (more-or-less) in the neighborhood.

Well now that I am back in the region, I've been having some time to rethink post DOs and such and I've got it nailed town to a few countries. I'm going to wait until about 6 months out to post the plans.

I'm envisioning a Thursday dinner for early arrivers. I'm flying LAX-HND-SIN and get in around noon on Thursday.

Also, attendees list will be updated this week.

So you're waiting two weeks?

(gentle ribbing, just in case that doesn't come through)
