I have made a booking at Ibis Styles for Saturday 25th. Booking was through Agoda for the same rate as Accor $119.40 and I used a rewards saving of $24.39 as well from my account.

So my hotel bookings are now finalised and only flights remain.

Friday 24th - Parmelia Hilton
Saturday 25th - Ibis Styles
Sunday 26th - Parmelia Hilton

It looks like I will be bronze now (and Mrs Flashware also). May looks like it'll be a heavy month of travel/work now so don't think I'll be able to make the half-world trip!

Welcome to FT, and thanks for the offer!

PS. Mwenenzi, please move me to Gold (just me, no +1). Thanks.

Sounds excellent if you have some ideas on places to eat etc ..... time is creeping on.

Hopefully some local input can whip this into shape.

Throw some ideas of what you're after both cuisine-wise and $$-wise and I'll see if I can contribute. Remember Perth isn't cheap when it comes to dining out

There are ongoing discussions off line about meals and more, including with some Perth residents.

Yes. Well been living here since '83 so I think that qualifies!

Toss out some cuisine types and budgets and I'll come up with some suggestions.

Sadly, something's come up so I'll have to bow out of the trip. Wish I could join everyone--PER has long been on my radar, and I keep hearing how you guys are quite the bunch to hang around with.

We can still meet up at the Alaska Do--check us out here and come on up for Kodiak Brown Bears, glaciers, and a barbie at BOB W's complete with selections from (and the obligatory tour of) the famous Wall-O-Wine™. See ya there!

Now that I finally firmed up my travel dates and awards, it's about time I officially commit to attending my first Oz Fest.

Looking forward to join y'all in PER!
