We always know you are Copper for any AFF - FT do.
[ I won't know until the last minute as work may get in the way or I may have to fly to SIN or somewhere else for one reason or another or I just can't make up my mind.]
Currently we have sold 3839 seats of the 40 seats for the Saturday dinner. We may or may not be able to get more seats.
The other activities should be OK. We can work it out on the day.
There is a marathon in Noosa on the Saturday, so more people will be in town compared to other times in May
PM sent

Finishing up my packing for tomorrow's departure on AS84 ANC-SEA (was able to change to a later flight so I can sleep in a bit more).
One last question I had, how is the water temperature this time of year? Tempted to bring my snorkel gear, but think it might be slightly on the chilly side.
Thanks!

Noosa - Sunshine Beach Water Temperature (Sea) and Wetsuit Guide (QLD - Sunshine Coast, Australia)
Another https://www.seatemperature.org/austr...oosa-heads.htm
Today's Noosa - Sunshine Beach sea temperature is 23.5 °C.
Statistics for 21 May (1981–2005) – mean: 23.7 °C, range: 22.6 °C to 25.0 °C
Sunny with pleasantly warm air temperatures (feeling like 21 °C once we account for wind), and similar sea temperatures (23 °C). Wear boardshorts or a shorty, or better still a thin summer wetsuit to keep the UV off.

It's been averaging over 30° C with high humidity throughout our stay in Hong Kong, and we're looking forward to cooling off in Noosa.

My attendance for Saturday night dinner has now firmed to 100%, my boss was in the local office today and mentioned about dinner being on the Friday night and didn't we get the email about it. 
I will be attending the show on Saturday and then heading north to see you all at dinner, any pre dinner drinking location been suggested.
I hope everyone has safe and smooth flights to Australia.
Or penegal; he can be late to the party, or last to leave the party.

Had an easy drive up to Dallas today, so just at the DFW Centurion Lounge sipping a cocktail and debating if I care enough to go find the AA Premium Lounge. Leaning towards no. 
After a shower and a few cocktails, lets do this short flight to SYD.
