Quick check of fares on UA for the weekend (presuming less than 6 day min stay) are currently running in the neighborhood of $1500. OUCH! The SIN DO is one fantastic party, but that's a lot of chili crab. :eek:

Best, Dave

Consider me a probable, as I seem to make it only in the even numbered years.

Hmmmm... our normal trade show conflict is actually two weeks later than normal this year.

Is it POSSIBLE I might make SIN in January? Put me on the maybe list and I'll do what I can do....

I just reserved my flights to AKL and the stop over weekend for the DO.

I will arrive on the 18th January at 06.55 with flight SQ 025 from FRA. Departing on the 21st January at 20:35 with flight SQ 632 to NRT.

Staying at the IC.

I'm considering combining the SIN Run with this event in Melbourne.

Guess I should have checked the dates before I've made my reservations.:eek::(

Okay, I'm in for sure. If nobody else wants to come out to
play, I'm sure I can entertain myself in BKK or someplace.

P.S. Has anyone heard from mjm lately?

I've been hunting/pecking to see if I can pull this off, but as of now the fares are a bit steep and I can't do the 6 day min.
I did see that 15H was taken from HKG-SIN, however - and wondered if it was YOU! ;)

I've booked my air and hotel.. @$225SIN looks like most hotel rates are higher though.

I was hoping to see from the crowd that boycotted us last year. Come out gang! It's usually such a good weekend. ^

I regret I will not be attending the SIN DO in January. It rained every day I was there last January :eek: , so when the UA business class to AKL deal came along, I booked that instead for MLK weekend. :)

gvdIAD Aug 24, 2007 3:00 pm

I'll be there Saturday & Sunday. I've not yet booked a room as the Conrad claims to be sold out (I think it's just a glitch relating to the 2008 date). I'm flying to Bali Sunday evening for 2 days. Returning to IAD from SIN on Wednesday.

dedehans Aug 24, 2007 3:09 pm

I will be there Friday and Saturday....must leave Sunday am....staying at Hyatt....

violist Aug 26, 2007 6:15 am

Glad to hear dedehans is going to make it, no health issues I hope?

Brendan, won't be the same without you.

Dave, without you and Boris there, who's there to get blasted
with on Singha pitchers?

Ah the good ole days in Sin. Not sure if I will be there either, but I am trying to persuade Mrs. wwbgd to come with me on a slightly earlier Sin run. Maybe I'll begin a new tradition with her at Boat Quay and Singha. :D
