Now that all of this surgery business is out of the way, I just may be coming to F2F. I'd most likely bring sprog, but they are of a) older and fairly interesting conversation age and b) very capable of entertaining younger sprog as they are very non-judgmental on the age thing.

Hmm... need to ponder more, but dang, I'd love to come.

Flights aren't supposed to get any cheaper, are they?.. I'm thinking of buying my ticket tomorrow... or should I wait and find out if I can get a deal on flight + hotel?

Go on, Barb! Do it! Do it!

You won't be able to get the lowered Buffista hotel rate combined with a flight, Laga, so I'd say buy the flight now.

Barb, you should come! The Prom itself is definitely not kid friendly after the first hour or so, but your sprog are old enough to entertain themselves in the room that night or babysit. Plus, F2Fs are more fun than should be allowed!

YES, BARB. I have not yet met sprog, and would be enchanted to do so. COME. It will be a great excuse to get dressed up the way you love so much!

Laga, Farecast is at least worth a look to see what it predicts for prices - [link]

Barb, please oh please attend!

smonster, insent with details, but yes, I'm totally on public trans for anywhere in the city.

Monaco gets my vote, again.

One thing - could somebody explain what the 2000 minimum means if we're billed on party, drinks and catering - I'm a little confused on that one.
