Okay, time to think about what we're doing on Saturday? CGK has one car reserved already (I think?) and I'm sure we can pursuade him to reserve another if we want to do some sightseeing (I hope that doesn't sound too touristy 
) together. Some of the things that CKG has mentioned were going "back towards Ubud, go to Pura Besakih and all the rice terraces area, and then monkey forest" - then heading back to the Westin before dinnertime. Thoughts from anyone else on this? Or is anyone else interested?
CGK also suggested starting the Friday pool party around 4-6 at the Westin, and we'll leave the hotel around 6:45 for dinner?
Also, has anyone given any thoughts to Sunday? Hopefully some of the SPG PLTs can get very late (or at least 4pm) checkout from the Westin

^Looks like there already will be more than enough bottles of Krug and wine to go around, but let me know if more is needed (especially for the B'day folks!) and I'll be happy to contribute. Maybe I'll pick up a bottle in Changi duty free anyway, just in case.

Let me know if I've missed anyone or if I have nights/status/location wrong. Since I've been e-mailing with someone in Res Sales at the Westin, I don't mind letting them know who's in our group if you'd like.

And there is another place that you can check:

BTW, welcome back. You don't have any jetlag, do you? No jetlag just yet, but hopefully I will be able to stay up all day and get on SIN time quickly.
Thanks again for a great lunch! Hope you are enjoying the nice Vancouver weather now that I am gone...

Wish you delayed your trip back so you could enjoy the hot weather here. But most importantly to meet my two baby doggies.
