I am leaving this evening for SYD (via LAX - I think some FTers may also be on that flight - l'll be in 15 unless I get the coveted double-upgrade) and will be in the city from 23 to 28 May. I chatted with kluau88 and he said that he would be there during some of those days. Anyone interested in getting together for lunch or dinner one of those days? My schedule should be pretty open during the day and only a few evenings are already spoken for. Sorry I will not be attending the Do there - if it's anything like last year's, it should be fab.

I will be staying at the Sydney Harbour Marriott. Those of you who know me can just call or email. I will be checking this upon my arrival to SYD.

P.S. The "natives" know what kind of food I don't want...

Well there are other things to eat here, unlike London

I'll be around and can make it one evening later this week. Anyone else?

Arrived in SYD early this morning and did some touristy things today. I'm free tomorrow and Wednesday. Hopefully this weather front passes through as it's lightning out right now.

I'm at the Sheraton on the Park.

I PM'ed das and he is in town too.

I don't know if I will be checking the boards during the day, as I'm planning on doing some day trips to the Blue Mountains and Manly beach.

wimpy will PM you my mobile number so you can SMS me.

Unfortunately most FT'ers will be in BNE for Ozfest this weekend. You could always duck up to there.

King Street in Newtown.

Enough food variety to keep everyone happy......

Marty - flying up to OzFest Friday am and have a dinner the night before that sadly.

Why not get thee self up there as Itsalongwaydown suggested? @:-)

Just had dinner with tom911 who was passing thru on way up there.

Heard from das last night and he's free Wednesday night. Heck we can meet up tonight and tomorrow night Then again I don't know how jetlagged you will be iluv2fly.

iluv2fly, how does this look?

Marty, I'll be back tonight sometime between 6:30 - 7:30 PM. Heading out on a day trip.

Guys Hurricanes is excellent, and as its on my street would be rude not to come down!

Would advise to prebook any night of the week there to avoid a wait... Let me know what you decide (apart from Wed as I am at State of Origin, which if anyone is looking something to do I can highly reccomend and there are still tickets available)

I'm happy to schlep over to Bondi if someone confirms time.

Welcome to rainy, chilly Sydney.

This restaurant at Bondi looks like a winner for me. As long as I can get there via cab or some nice local will pick me up at the Sydney Marriott Harbour (hint hint).

Shall we plan it for Thursday night so simong can join us? That would be fine by me.

Wish I could have made it up to Brisbane, but my schedule wouldn't allow it. If it will be anyting like last year's event, it will be FAB!

Met two FTers on my flight down. Great guys! I know one can't make it since he is flying out tomorrow. Hopefully the other can and will be following this thread.

Let's try to firm up a time soon. G'day! ^

Not sure if kluau88 is free on Thursday as he only says he's free Tue/Wed.

Either today or wed would be better for me (although it would need to be today if simong is going to come).

I'm happy to pick up people in town on my way to Bondi if that helps (as long as they don't mind dog hair )

Sorry, it's the lack of good sleep that made me not study every post properly.

I can do this evening, but it would have to be a little later, like 8 p.m. or so (if you even condider that late).

I neeed to return to the Marriott in a few so please email, SMS or call me and let me know.

Thanks.

If Wed works best, just do that, if you are still around and I can race back from Homebush in time could meet for a drink after...

Tonight works well for me. I'm leaving Kinko's - have wimpy or kluau contact me if tonight.
