In Reply to: Adelaide forumites get together posted by Balibabe on Saturday, 24. February 2007 at 20:23 Bali Time:
but busy catching up & partying with forumites in Darwin & recovering from all the partying with the veterans who were here for the 65th reunion in Darwin.I was amazed that 80 years old could keep up with a busy touring schedule & could party so much, they put some of us younger ones on the tour to shame <LOL>.I had trouble getting rid of some 80 year old ex-service women from a party in my motel room at 3am ! I wanted to sleep because we had to get up in a few hours to go on tour.
I made a phone call on the night of the BTF Adelaide dinner to check how it was all going & spoke to my other half,Dennis & Filo.Glad you all had a good time & I will no doubt see you all at the next get together.Well done Gill for organising it - sounds like everyone had a a'ball.
Anyway I am once again having an absolute ball here up in Darwin & staying till the weekend.Airfares back home over the next few days are absolutely ridiculous because it seems every man & his dog is flying to Adelaide for the Clipsal 500 so I am staying a bit longer than expected in order to pay a reasonable price to get back home without flying half way around Australia to get there.I have been invited to join some forumites on a trip down to Katherine so am looking forward to seeing more of the outback.
Because of airline changes it seems for many of us that we are now having to at alternatives to get to Bali rather than flying out of our home cities.After making 2 trips to Darwin within a short period of time I am sure I will have many ideas to share with other forumites who decide to fly to Bali out of Darwin & wish to spend some time here exploring the many things this wonderful city & people have to offer.By the end of this trip I would have spend 23 days here in less than 2 months !
