Ahhh I should have looked at the clock Amy! You generally leave post around the same time I normally do! We should get live chat sometime just for the sake of it!

Hey, Ebony - you're in Sydney aren't you? The Head Office of my work is in Surrey Hills, and I'll definaitely be down there in early December for our Christmas Party. My flight back is not until the Saturday afternoon, so we should catch up - either then or when I'm next in Sydney! We can do some eveil swan plotting....... Yup, Firebird, Ste and I are together (I believe that Regi and SJ were taking credit for introducing us....) Been over a year now and still happy and slowly starting to plan him coming over here to live (miss him dreadfully... :sniff: ) I reckon I'm pretty lucky to have somebody as nice as Ste: it's not ofen you meet somebody who nobody has a bad word to say about (except he doesn't do enough writing!)

Ebonyswanne Gatchamaniac posted 14 Aug 2007 23:01

Sounds great Maddy! My days off are Sunday/Monday. It is about 45-60 mins from my place to city by train, so that should be easy to do! I drive sometimes but you know what the tolls are like in Sydney, trains can be cheaper! Cheers Ebony! p,s I have just posted some Swan/Eagle smut in clubhouse hehehe excuse any errors, I try to fix them were I can!

Transmute Jun Queen of the Bird Missiles posted 15 Aug 2007 08:13

Maddy! I didn't realize you were there! I somehow thought you were in Perth... I don't know why... I'm going to be flying over you in January... twice! My family is taking a cruise out of Sydney, and we're going to be flying up to Daydream Island for a few days, then coming back to Sydney for another few days before boarding the ship. I'm planning on meeting up with Ebony in Sydney, and if I could meet up with you too that would be awesome! Ooh... THREE (count 'em, three!) Gatch fans together at one time. My heart might burst! Anyhow, I'm just throwing out ideas. No obligation! (although it would be awesome... Wink

For sure! In fact, it may very well be possible - I just had my annual review today and got a $2000 payrise, so little extras may just be possible. Ad TJ - to go to Daydream, you may have to stop over at Brisbane so I can always meet up with you at the airport for a while! Nah - three swans together isn't bad. Honest. Littleangel

TJ is your January trip a regular thing? Only asking because hubby and I have a holiday in Oz covering Christmas and part of January but it wont be to next year or the year after (depending on funds). Maybe once we fiinalise some things I can see if I can fit in a visit to you Sydney people?

Actually, we got the Jetstar flights that go straight to Hamilton Island from Sydney. I think it was the Virgin Blue package that stopped over in Bribane. But that was actually a really short stopover (like 30 minutes or something). Whoo hoo! This would be sooo cool! We're going to be at the Novotel Menzies in Sydney from January 5 through 9. Ebony's going to hang out with us on Jan 6 and 7... I think... we'll be doing the Harbor Cruise one of those days and I think a tour of the city on the other day... not sure. It's up for grabs. Anyone else want to come and have a Gatch party with us??? Party4

Oh yes, and Three Swans is NOT bad... but three Swans, two reluctant Eagles and two terrorizing Condor kids... now that's something else! Vampire3

Nope, this is a one time event. We like to vacation in January, but since we've had kids the trips have been a little more close to home. But we found an awesome deal on this cruise so we decided to go for it. They're looking forward to it, though!

Regarding chatting, my life returns to normal around Sept 6. msn is cricketbeautiful@hotmail.com but I keep forgetting to sign in. I'm in Toronto's time zone. Best bets are between 9:30 and 2:30 weekdays, and Friday evenings between 9 and 10pm. Not sure how the weekly schedule will shape up, but it's usually quasi-predictable once other things are in place.

My DH will have one at the Snack J on his behalf! He would just want to be polite,(And to have a blokey chat) and shout him a drink even if it a soda (cause all the country boys I know do that.) Then they can talk shop... Typical Aussie male he can be at times my DH...LOL!
