Yes JP100UK we definetely should meet for drinks at the airport and in Adelaide! Its nice to know that quite a few people are going on the same day as us, and many more later on in June. We havent booked into the lounge. How much does it cost to do that? Are you excited about going? have you been to Adelaide before?

Is there anyone going from London to Adelaide? or any londoners living there now?

cost us 45 quid for the three of us through our RBS account, I don't think its that much more on line. Will PM you nearer the time to arrange to meet up in or out of the lounge (rose in the lapel, news of the world under your arm type of stuff).

Thats really cheap actually for all of you. Is it one of the lounges in the link below? Which one did you chose? I think its worth it as it includes free food and drinks which is really expensive in airports anyway.

Will PM you nearer the time to arrange to meet up in or out of the lounge (rose in the lapel, news of the world under your arm type of stuff).

sounds like a plan :)

Hi ozzyfever and Mark!

We are also going to Adelaide on the 15th June! We are flying BA at 21.30. Its nice to know others are going through the same thing. Its exciting not knowing what awaits us!

What are your reasons for choosing to live in Adelaide?

:):)

Hi we are also flying from London, you won't be able to miss us, loads of cases and me sat crying wondering what the hell are we doing.

We chose Adelaide - property prices cheaper, up and coming City, not too large, great beaches and good climate.

Perhaps we can have a meet up at the airport, we can have a group breakdown together:rofl:

Where are you staying when you get to Adelaide?

Anyway speak soon

Nicky and Alan

Have you guys heard any reports on Yotel? We've got an evening flight so gonna arrive very early that morning (in case there are any problems) and spend 4 hours kipping/watching tv/getting freshened up at yotel, looks quite good, fingers crossed it is!! :rofl:

Hi Nicky and Alan,

We should try to meet at some point at the airport, along with Julie and her gang! we are flying around 9pm.

We havent actually found anywhere definate to stay once we arrive. do you or anyone know of where to find any short let apartments that are nice but quite cheap?

Rach, yotel looks good! but as we are coming from lomdon I dontthink we need it. I think its a great idea if you are traveling to the airport from far away as its important to wind down and relax before flying for 24 hours.

:p

Hi guys

Our flight is at 18.30 from terminal 3, maybe nearer the date we can arrange a time and place to meet up at the airport.
We have booked 2 nights in apartment in Adelaide - think its called Franklin apartments, but don't hold me to it.
How are you feeling less than 3 weeks to go
Nicky

Thanks Kat, yes we are coming with an open mind, as never been before so havnt got a clue what is going to greet us, my last day at work this friday, so I do not think that it will hit me until I leave the office for the last time.

What is the temp at the moment?

We also have never been to Adelaide before so are very excited and curoius at whats to come although I am a bit worried that we are yet to find temp accomodation. I am googling like crazy at work! If anyone knows of anything please let us know.

my last day at work is wednesday next week, then I have to think about all that we have to do before we go. have you all sorted out bank transfers? Is HSBC the best bank to use?

We should def all try and find a time to meet, am sure we wil message each other closer to the time.

K:)at, It will be good to know the temp at the moment as It will be handy to know what to wear when i step off the plane!
