I am at the Plaza Premium Lounge, Terminal 1, TPE, awaiting TPE-BKK-SYD, all on TG. A 2 1/2 hour connection at BKK. I am feeling that my luck has changed and that there are friendly skies out there.

Glad to see you're making progress (and hopefully upcoming flights are in business?). I depart in about 48 hours.

TG BKK-SYD was booked several months ago as an award UA booking, pre-devaluation. 30K miles each way in C. I would have booked F, but so many UA members booked, they wiped out the F inventory!

The spreadsheet has 33 people coming to Saturday Dinner and now we possibly have:
krazykanuck,
beckoa,
bedkoa +1,
Bundy Bear,
rabau &
Anat0l
We currently have seating available for 37 people and cannot confirm extras at the moment. Please confirm ASAP.

The same applies for the Saturday visit to Australia Zoo. We have 2 X ten seater buses so we need to know ASAP if any of the gang of six are expecting a seat to Australia Zoo.

Also done. Looking forward to seeing all there, including the stalwarts who return year after year.

*ducks and hides* I booked the reverse, SYD-BKK-HKG, for my trip home in F. 40k UA Unfortunately BKK-HKG no longer has F, but oh well.

If we go over the 20 for Australia Zoo then we can take a car to transport up to 4 people.

We have managed to secure some more dinner spots so now have availability for 40 people for Saturday night dinner.

Looks like I barely missed you. I arrived in TPE yesterday evening. I'm here until the 23rd. I missed the Fredd's in HK yesterday. Ran into another FTer in HKG yesterday at the CX F lounge. Seeing a former FT person in HKG on my 23 hours stop on the 23rd - 24th.
